Good morning everyone,
I figured after spendig so much time reading in the search forums, I would go ahead and join so I could intro myself. I am Chuck and as you can see by my name I love my pace cars, They are all 69 camaros, I also own 2 69 coupes and 1 72 el camino. These are my toys and as of now, 3 of them are under the knife.
I wanted to do a vert in pro tour style, but my most recent pace car purchase is being torn aprart right now and the metal on this car iss o good I am almost against making her my PT car, And her name is (SEXY)
I also have a coupe, that was an old drag car that Im resorecting. it has been gutted only a shell with a rear kit and cage connected to front factory subframe. but it will need 1/4's due to the guy opening SO BIG for the slicks. But Ill figure it out.

P.S. I was reading in 1 of the threads somewhere here, and it sounds like there are a few old Super Shops employees here? I was one there also.
Like everyone, I started as a tire mounter in the shop. Worked at the Covina, Ca. store then went to the San Gabriel store then moved to the Phoenix, AZ. store then here to Knoxville,Tn. as a manager and then the company died its slow non-paying taxes death. I was employee #856

Pacecarnut,

Welcome to the site. Well you are in the right place since there are so many 69 Camaros in here.lol!!
You used to work at SuperShops? I have not heard of that place for a long time. They used to sponsor one of our customers. I remember going on a trip down to florida and while I was there on vacation I drove to one of their stores and bought a bunch of speed parts for my car. They didn`t have any stores where I live.
Anyway that brought back some cool memories.

Take care,

Kurt

Cool, it's greatly appreciated! I responded to the PayPal e-mail, I wasn't sure exactly who it was at the time since your name is listed differently in the header.

Thanks again!

I have not had a 67 pace car yet, Although, I do have a documented 69 festival pace car in my collection.
I know of 2 other pace cars car in Tn. and another one that was a clone that was sold on ZBAY a few months back.
I try to keep low and under the radar, Dont like to many people knowing what is kept in the garage. Thats the nice thing bout have multiples of the same car, People do not know the differance betwen my pace cars. :_paranoid
