Default Finally On The Road!!!

We got Mike Provencher's (M D Provee senior member) '67 Camaro tuned & running like a beast today. Procharged 383 w/ Accel StealthRam injection. We put ten miles on the car today- computer is now set up nicely. Fuel trims look right on, even under a meager 6-7 lbs of boost....we'll dyno tune it next month when a few miles have been put on her.

1st time out on the road and all is well. Drives straight & smooth, no brake drag, suspension feels solid.....still too low in the front!

We'll get some pictures and details coming over the next day or so. Interior, stereo, trim.....ALL DONE!! Planning on showcasing the car at the Sac Autorama Feb 6th-8th.

Mike, post some good pics if you have 'em!!

Just saw Jason's email, and this thread. I am jumping up and down. It has been 14 years since it was drivable. Thanks Jason, and his crew.

The only pictures I have are here:

I will bring a camera on Monday, cause you know I will be there.

It needs some smokey burn out shots now.

I really like that two tone paint job.
