Sorry, didn’t see your posts until today. Life got busy and I haven’t been on here until just recently. I only had the Camaro out a handful of times last year so I’ll have to owe you some pics but I appreciate the interest! TBH I had gotten pretty burned out after getting the 67 Nova project back. It was a combination of burnout and disappointment about a few of the roadblocks I had run in to. I basically piled all the parts inside the car (which is pretty much everything needed to finish it) and bought a cover for it and just pretended like it wasn’t there, lol. I knew if I attempted to work on it when my heart wasn’t in it, that I wouldn’t be happy with my results so I opted to let it ride until that “feeling” came back. It worked out well since work was busy, Momma’s in school finishing her doctorate and my boys are growing up way too fast…my oldest leaves for the Marine Corps in June and my youngest is planning on the Army (at least for now) the next year. That’ll really get you thinking about your life decisions right there.

Anyway, since I know Marty’s a bicycle fan, I thought I’d throw in a pic of my old BMX bike. Had gone thru it a few years ago for the boys to ride but the wear and tear was starting to show so I did it again and now it resides in the man cave. I even found one of my old number plates. Anyway, I’ve been making some plans on the Nova lately so as soon as wrestling season’s over with, I hope to post up some progress on it. Thanks for tuning in!

That is awesome and I wish I still had my old BMX bike. I do however have my very first real mountain bike (circa mid 90's), the funny thing is way back in the day I built the bike with a single ring up front, downhill rims and oversize downhill tires. Who new I would be a trendsetter on the bike back them. I just found them more comfortable and it made the bike handle so much better.

I should also mention I am kinda burned out with work, cars and just life so I to have taken a Camaro break.
