Beautiful car! Don't listen to that guy, stock sucks! I hear ya on your brake issues, hope they are all good now. We had a customers car we did three years ago, same story, and we finally decided to re bench bleed the master with the blocked port method, and bingo. how many times I have bled those damn brakes over the years, and now a simple bench bleed and its fixed! Also, on our LSA we did vac brakes too, and as long as you grab the vacuum from the port just after the throttle body, you always have vacuum on the LSA as it is before the blower. Never wished for hydroboost on the LSA, the vacuum is great!

Ken - not sure when you are going to see this.

It was nice meeting you on the tour - and your car is badass!

Hope you get home safely!

So......After driving this Beater all summer......Here are a few observations.......Starting with a #'s matching restored car was one of those should I or shouldn't I deals.........In retrospect, I wouldn't change a thing........The time and aggravation of doing the Body/Paint/Interior thingy was well worth the little extra cost at the start of the project........It might have been a little different story if there was shoddy workmanship involved, but...........that wasn't the case here.....Driving the car has been a blast.......basically it didn't miss a beat all summer (5500 miles).....as far as I'm concerned, It's the perfect blend of "Old" with the drive ability of all the "New" stuff (that's also what the GM guy's on the Power Tour thought and why they did the Feature on the car........ https://theblock.com/news/ken-tibor-...ur-feature-car The car never gets hot.....even with the A/C blowing ice cubes......Did I mention Torque.......LOL.....Now I know why Charley is always smiling while driving his Camaro..........

After the Power Tour was over........one of the regulars we travel with for the week is Steve Kranick who just started a Hydrographics business [email protected] ...........Between Steve and my son Chris they worked behind the scenes and did a new engine cover to surprise me with as they hated that red cover
.........The finishing touch.......


Before




After




The ride, comfort, handling, and power in this beater is awsum......Looking forward to the Muscle Car Adventure Event in a couple of weeks with Stefano............

Ken,

I agree it looks way better and it's awesome that your actually driving and enjoying the car.

My motto, Build it to a "8" drive it to a "4" and don't save it for the next guy to enjoy.
