Thanks Rick... Yeah pretty awesome. We had a good size crowd hanging out waiting and checking out my buddies cars. When Chris came rolling in there was a group gathering behind as he drove in to park. Well received.

John - was more of a sleep over. She spent the nigh in my garage then went back to Cloverdale last night in preparation for West Coast Nats. It was awesome getting to drive her to and from the show though.

Chris headed out for the 80 mile trip back about 4. Around 4:20 my cell rings. Guess who? He tells me he stopped for gas and was leaving for the highway when she died. Thankfully he was still in town so I shot down and with the help of a couple car guys we pushed her back into the parking lot. The Holley blue pump died. Chris' wife went to the shop, grabbed the hauler and came to pick up the car.

I've said it before. Hands down my favorite camaro ever!
Gotta have more pictures.

Thanks... We received many complements both days. It was nice having Chris, the builder, there to give him the credit and have the chance to share details on the car.

The journey isn't over yet. Chris reminded me last night that he said it would break down 3 times... Have 2 more to go. But yes, the finish line is very near.

The rebuild Quickfuel seems to be fine. If anything goes wrong, Holley gets the order.

Yeah great night. Get to drive my car for the first time in 3.5 years. Tucked her in the garage then went for pizza and some great wine with the guys.

Jeff,

That is one impressive saga.

As a friend of mine used to say... "Temporary inconvenience for permanent improvement."

[Ron in SoCal]

Jeff congrats on a (mostly) successful outing! Driving your car and having a sleepover must've felt great

Don't sweat the issues. Comes with the territory. You'd laugh at my motorsports saga this weekend!

[Flash68]

Yep the really fun stuff is just starting to happen!

Absolutely. I got the fuel pump from a buddy of mine. "slightly used" I recall him saying. Well now it will be a new one and should be one less thing to worry about for a while. As Chris said, you don't want to go cheap on things like a fuel pump.

Yeah sleep over was. I snuck out into the garage while waiting for Chris in the morning so I could just stare at it for a while.

Like Weld said, its just part of hot rodding. Sad thing is, Chris brought a trunk full of spare parts just in case. Starter, coil, 6AL box, distributor, etc., but he left the box with the fuel bump in the bench by accident. Murphy's law. Thats alright, we got to spend another 3 hours in a sports bar talking shop while waiting for the trailer.

Here is one of the crappy cell phone pics. Now I'm pissed I left the good camera at home. Friday night they had around 130 cars then on Sat there was over 400. Not bad for Napa.

Even with the crappy phone that looks

Jeff, car sits pretty. Good to see you starting to reap the rewards. Keep sharing pics please as you have a car we enjoy looking at. congrats!
