[DRJDVM's '69]

Just had to join in the fun !!!

So here's my '69 Camaro..... my baby...
Bought it in Sept 2001 as a complete plain jane POS, but it ran and had minimal rust. SInce then, I've torn the entire car apart and changed just about every nut and bolt on the thing. I had originally planned on just building a decnt driver, but quickly caught the bug ( I BLAME ALL OF YOU !!!!!!) and the ball just started to roll. I ended up spending about 10x what I had originally planned !!! I stopped counting after awhile....

Here are SOME of the specs..
355 ci SBC
Comp 284 Cam
Holley 750 HP
Muncie 4 speed
3.73 Posi rearend
BAER Track system front and back
Concept One Pulley system
Vintage Air
PRC radiator with Spal fans
MSD ingition system
Corbeau CR1 seats
Alston 4 point cage tied into custom tubular SFC's
Hotchkis suspension front and rear
Custom interior
Dodge 2002 truck red with white stripes
And a bunch of other stuff......

If any of you guys know how to set up the pix like some of the other threads, that would be awesome.....

I couldnt figure out how to directly attach the photos.... the other way is much better than the way I ended up linking the pix I had....

[camcojb]

It appears that Yahoo does not allow direct linking, so you'll have to use the links you've posted. Some host sites are that way.

Car looks awesome!

Jody

[BC69]

Yes!! That is my favorite car...DRJDVM's car just settled my bebate over red or not. Remeber I emailed you about that dodge truck red? I went with viper and pearl stripes, but I still love the look of your car and those wheels are amazing.
Nice to see your still going at it...supercharged! Keep us posted, and update that Yahoo site more, I check in pretty often lol, been a couple months I think since something new.

Awesome car

Thanks Bill, you moved them to a more "friendly" server!

Jody

[907rs]

No problem, just helping out a fellow "addict"! :)

[DRJDVM's '69]

Thanks Bill... I appreciate it....

After you did that for me I saw the "Attachment" option on the post page under Additional Options......duh....

Thanks again...

Ned

[jonny51]

Nice car Ned,I saw it last month at goodguys.It was definitley one of the better cars there :)

[jonny51]

No problem, just helping out a fellow "addict"! :)

Wow Bill where did you learn how to do that? :D

[Musclerodz]

What kind of wheels are those? They look like the Bonspeed's I plan to use. They look great on your 69.

Mike

[BC69]

Not to butt in for Ned, but they are bonspeed, and as I recall he got a one off set that hadnt been named yet. There are a few bonspeed wheels that look like em. I love those too. Just throwing that in, I am sure he can give you a better name for em.

Tim

[DRJDVM's '69]

When I bought them, they were only the second set made and hadnt been named yet..... they are now called Bonspeed Delta's....

[Keith]

I love the before and after pic..very cool! Beautiful car!

[Musclerodz]

I looked at those but decided on the Crokus. Now I am not sure what I am going to do because they don't offer 19's.

Mike

[DRJDVM's '69]

I almost bought the Crokus wheel... it was between those 2 and the wife liked the Delta's better so........

[XcYZ]

Awesome car! :D

Also, I didn't feel your avatar was doing you or your car justice, so I updated it. It's the same image that you had, but it's just a lot clearer now. Hope that's ok!

[DRJDVM's '69]

Thanks Scott...

I had noticed that it came out all pixelated for some reason, but hadnt had the chance to go mess with it.... it looks much better now.....thanks

[mdprovee]

Very nice looking car.. you have done alot with it. You car makes a good arguement for red and white. Right no I am stuck between red and white, red and black, or even red and a dark grey.

Mike

[BC69]

Red and white! I am biased though. :D I went with pearl white, gives it a nice silver look pending the light.

Tim

[Vince@Meanstreets]

Very nice red, great job Ned. I spoke to you at the last goodguys show I asked you it it was mini tubbed. Love the baby seat BTW. I bet the poeple you bought it from would not even recognize it now.

[61Bubbletop]

Looks great Ned, did you end up using the bellcrank assembly?

[Ricochet]

Nice work, detailed & well executed. Keep up the good work!!

When I saw the pic I thought that looks like Pleasanton. Then I realized your local in Manteca. See around there sometime.

[Blown353]

Manteca, eh? Maybe I'll see you out at Perko's next year, I make the 15 minute drive south for it usually twice a month. Might have also seen you before. Looks great! :)

I noticed you are thinking of going supercharged... I would be willing to offer a ride in order to facilitate spending your money. :D

[rwhite692]

Hey Ned it's about time you made it over here!

[DRJDVM's '69]

Troy.... very nice set-up... I looked at every page on your website........ I'm sure I'll hit you up for some suggestions and insight when the time comes to get the supercharger...... I hope to see you at Perko's next "season". I'd love to see the set-up and talk to you in person....

Rob....... I've been on the website for quite awhile, but had to sign up again when Scott did the change over..... then just never had time to put my pix up....

Jeff..... yes I did you use the reverse lockout bar assembly. Thanks again. It works great....

[Aschle]

Every red 69 I see with white stripes makes me think more and more of going with that color combo over my original plan of yellow / black.... Very good looking car!!

[zbugger]

Damn Ned, I never even looked at this thread till just now. Damn nice car there. I was there with Vince last month. I really liked your car. We gotta get some of the Nor Cal boys together one of these days.

[Teetoe_Jones]

Duuuuddde. Those wheels fricken ROCK. I really like the stance of the car, very sharp.
That car is screaming for a T56. When you're ready, let me know.

I updated the pix on my yahoo account... click the link in my sig.

Looking at all the nice cars on here is making me jealous...... need to stroke the ego alittle....... :D

Viewing the stuff on this website is going to make me have to take out a bank loan !!! The bar just keeps getting higher and higher !!!!! I cant keep up.....or afford to keep up.....

[BC69]

Once again, car looks awesome. I check your website all the time for updates, you need to update it more often!!!
Since I have spent the entire week looking for a good stereo setup online, I gotta ask what you chose for a system, headunit and speakers?

Your car looks awesome, I still love those wheels and think they look perfect on that car.

Keep updating more often!!!!

Tim

[Blown353]

Oh, by the way Ned, I finally have my larger injectors in and have things sorted out... so when you feel the need for a ride along (as the extra nudge to buy a supercharger) I'm ready to assist in spending the money (or procuring a loan). :D

Besides, I want to feel what a set of the CR-1 seats feel like, as I'm looking to buy some seats. :)
