Default This is the guy to call if you need a loan!

Tony, you should paint the car in the official Portugal colours. Maybe with a genuine trout-skin roof, to replace the vinyl!

Great to have another second gen camaro around! Yours is looking really good. Mines a 72 and its around the same step you are. I havent really decided on what wheels im going to go with. Im almost done painting it myself. Im going with hugger orange. My last car was black also and i also agree it was a pain to keep clean. You can check out my photo bucket for pictures....

I'd give you some funds --- if you'd promise to come to Seattle to show me how to run an electric drill....

Man what I wouldn't give to have my own machine shop... I'm so jealous!

Funds will come - business is GOING TO (because I say it has to) get better!

If the drill has a cycle start button you got a deal!
*Note electric drills are Collectors item cordless is in

I agree this manufacturing economy has to get better in north America, if not we will all have bigger problems.

Finishing project PROSTORAGE wont be one of them


Cheers

Thats a good question I have no idea yet. I want to get the painting out of the way. An Ls1 and Ls6 are expensive and a little out of my budget but i would not mind one of those. All i know is that i need to make up my mind before buying a fuel tank.

Default fuel tank choices

I pretty sure 4th gen f cars are almost a bolt in for sec gen Fcars.I have an LS6/T56 combo and I'll either use a 4th gen tank or a fuel cell and inline pump with voltage controller and some creative wiring and a little luck.It will probably the 4th gen option as the C4 corvette rear suspension will allow me to run the exhaust in a manner similar to the C5 corvette(with two outlets in the center with some body mods that resemble the C5 rear fascia).I intend to upgrade the appearance to a slightly more modern look in some areas.There is a 71 pontiac firebird with all 4th gen rear suspension and driveline including the tank that was posting on pro-touring .com and you should be able to find it at www.extremefirebird.com/Home.html
