I was just thinking the same thing just now..

I just thank them for building such a Sweet Ride...

EDIT....Spending door got turned into a 2009 370Z for her, and now she is looking for a Truck up grade..

I will get a poster of Blu balz for my office to keep the dream alive..

EDIT...Seig , you know from the investment thread that I put my " employees " to work...My Wife is so cool and smart, she is saying to leave the money for the Denali working for the rest of the year, and by then , we will have 4000 dollars more for the Truck..I love it...

But those pictures are just sweet, and the car ?? One of the best first generation camaros I have ever seen.

I love the attention to detail in this car! I wish I would have known about your shop when I lived in Sac! Looking forward to seeing more of your creations. Your pics have inspired me to take mine to the next level! Keep up the awesome work!

Sweet pictures and still one of my favorite cars.

Testing & tuning @ the Camarillo Airport today...

BB's new shock re-tune & spring rates have made the car much better.. I even layed down a decent Auto-X time in it today.. We got the car back to its orginal ride height.. Looking @ maybe 1 inch lower on all four corners.. We got plenty of suspension travel..

The Mustang was tested today for a guide to see where we could make improvements.. This car is awesome as it is.. But new shocks, tires & wheels, custom sway bars & lowering it is on the list for changes..

[Cris@JCG]

We took the Camaro to Delmar this weekend & did some Autocrossing .. We had a bunch of fun & of course learned a lot more about tuning a suspension… We had to make some pretty crazy changes to get the car to turn on that nasty hairpin they had on peanut Auto-X.. Brian Hobaugh was driving it for the event.. Kyle Tucker & Mike Maier also took a spin around the course! A lot of information was being relayed to make BB better..

The one thing I knew we were having is piston knock back on the rear.. Auto-X is where I have experienced it the most.. plus also blew another set of ring & pinion on the car… Here are some pics of what is happening You can see where the axle stop is grinding into the seal plus has a ring that is creating a surface that I am not liking.. The rear end is out of the car! Floating rear is going into the car!









I meet with Jason & Jay from the THE GMR today! They brought in some parts for me to take a look at & see if this is the route I wanted to go to on BB.. The quality of their parts are top notch! Jason is picking up the rear end tomorrow morning to convert it to their floater system.. Plus got a few more of their parts going on the car.. JCG will be working on some other projects with THE GMR here pretty soon!



Got some other changes coming too... JRI shocks! The AFCO's are good.. but we want more!

Knockback, what's that? That was your master cylinder problem at El Toro. That is a beast of a rear end.

Will BBalz have any paint left on it by the time you give it back to Karl?
