Default She's on the road! - 69 Camaro Vert - Jersey Blue Claw

Well I got to do what I've only been dreaming of for the past 2 years.... Drive the car!!!

Initial impressions are fantastic! It does everything I thought it would and more. All the parts really seem to compliment each other and with some adjustment, debugging, and seat time, I doubt you'll be able to wipe the smile off my face.

Now, I only have about 20+ miles of test time on some wonderful Jersey roads, but I am very happy with ride quality, handling, braking, engine responsiveness, and power.

Still have some minor things to work on like getting the hood painted, but she's a driver and want to thank some friends for all their help.

Brakes, Suspension, Misc parts that would have cost me much more$$ - thanks for all the tech help Frank!

Thanks guys!

Yeah, the 540 is a real motivator. I haven't even really gotten on it yet, but did manage to leave rubber in 3 gears with 1/2 throttle. Very torquey, but surprizingly well mannered. The smaller 315 CC Dart heads and cam choice are the real key factors I think.

Congrats on getting it on the road! That is a really nice looking car!
I am jealous, mine is still a couple of years from that point. Every time I see another one hit the road it motivates me to get back to work on my own project.
I imagine that big block is good for some serious fun. Nice work!
