Careful now, you know how those ARP bolts ate the truck's budget up !!!


Ok, they are like car candy and we just can't help ourselves ... oh all right, go ahead !


:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Great numbers on the motor ! Even the LS1 will do some impressive stuff. That will be fun.

Jim

Don't you have something to do? I see the light bulb coming on all the way over here in PA! :thumbsup:


Nice Stuff Marty. We couldn't be happier with our Wegner experience. They in my opinion have the best front drives on the market. :thumbsup:

2nd Chance Camaro - Rolling the Inner Fender Lip
2013 01-29 Update - Rolling the Inner Fender Lip
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Evening All,

Last step is to roll the fender lip to gain a little tire clearance.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210203-1331a88f-me.jpg

You can see how wide the fender lip.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210213-df026260-me.jpg

Fender roller mounted and the fun begins

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210217-44f54ff8-me.jpg

Finished - I've gained about 1/2" of extra room.

Blue FTW!! And that Eastwood Fender Roller is a great tool!

2nd Chance Camaro - Goodmark Fuel Tank
2013 03-13 Update -Goodmark Fuel Tank
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Morning All,

Okay, as most of you already have guessed I am way behind on posting updates. Let's just say the last 9 months
have been really fun (sarcasm). Chemotherapy is finally over and it's time to bring you guys up-to-date on the
car. As for my health everything looks good and so far all of my test have come back perfect. Good news!

Now back to our regular scheduled Updates.
Since we are running a Carburetor on the car I ordered up a Goodmark Industries stock replacement tank from Summit
Racing. I also ordered all new hardware to install the Tank. Summit Racing has sure received a bunch of my money in
the last year. You can't beat there service and pricing.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210028-606d7e49-me.jpg

I really like seeing Made in the USA & Made In Canada.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210034-807697b1-me.jpg

Kenny will make the necessary modifications on the front of the tank for the fuel line and the Edelbrock electric fuel pump. The Fuel Pump
will be mounted on the tank directly behind the differential. Moving the lines to the front of the tank is much safer then having them coming
out of the back of the tank and being exposed.

On the power Tour several years ago a car with a low hanging fuel tank & rear exiting fuel lines caught on fire after it gently rear ended at
a stop light. Moving to lines to the top or front of the tank is much safer location.

Thanks Mike,

Been trying to get out at least 2 days a week. But the weather here has been very very wet which has wiped out the trails. Hoping to get out tomorrow because the spin bike in my basement is going to be te death of me.

2nd Chance Camaro - A Few NOS Parts

www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Morning All,

Trying to keep up with the Made in America theme I searched the internet and found all of the NOS parts I needed. Tom at
Courtyard Camaro was a great help. If it's for a 2nd gen Camaro he has it our can point you in the right direction.

NOS stuff always fits the best and worth the extra cash in my opinion.

I searched for a NOS Cowl hood but couldn't find one. So Kenny grabbed a GoodMark cowl hood for me.

[glassman]

I don't believe they ever made a stock cowl hood for a 2nd gen. Correct me if I'm wrong? My cowl was grafted on from a chevelle SS hood, it has no "line" down the middle.

I've always like fit & quality of goodmarks hood. So the plan was to buy there hood from the getgo

Good Morning All,

Keeping with the goal to purchase as many bolt on as possible I ordered the direct fit LS swap radiator with fan kit for 2nd Gen
Camaro's. It's a great looking piece and very affordable and it will save time and reduce my fabrication costs.

Good Evening All,

About a year ago a very good friend was in need and some of the Vendors stepped in to help his family out.
Lateral-g.net & Pro-Touring.com both held auctions for parts that were donated by various vendors. I was
lucky enough to win parts from both Fesler Built & Holley for the Camaro. In the end it was a win-win for all.

A Very nice a set of Billet Tail

Thank you very much Mike were getting closer. Kenny just opened his 3rd body shop which is awesome. So he has been really busy. But the car is still getting worked on.

Sema yep I am going and I am even going to spend the weekend mountain biking and site seeing this year. So without a doubt we need to hook up.

[glassman]

I was actually thinking of driving down to Vegas this year rather than flying, if that's the case.....I could bring my mountain bike and barge in...how would u get it there?

Driving the car out there with the bike on it? Be brave lol

I drove home in 2010 and I swore I would never do it again. 1732 miles in a Camaro was fun till I needed a nap. When I got home I was so sore I laid in the hot-tub for an hour.

Ok to be serious most likely it will get hauled out there in Kenny's trailer and the bike will be on the side. I am trying to find another frame like the bike I ride and build a 2nd bike just for the car. So I will always have a bike on the car.

I do have a bike for the car but it's a hard tail and I am fairly certain my surgeon would tell me not to ride the bike.

[SlowProgress]

Marty,

Love the build. When you catch up on the posts could you show a little detail on the MTB mount. Riding is my second love and it would be cool to put something like that on my 67. Sometimes it helps to see an idea close up to get the juices flowing. I have been riding more than working on the car. In a weird way seeing your bike mount got me out in the garage - go figure !!

2nd Chance Camaro - High Speed Welding Bike Rack
2013 04-11 2nd Chance Camaro - High Speed Welding Bike Rack
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Evening All,

Here is an inside look at the "B" Pillar.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210655-51cb08b3-me.jpg

Once all of the welding was complete Joe added a final plate to increase strength.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210827-8d29bfa9-me.jpg

There was already a hole in the quarter panel from the antenna so we decided that the rear mount would use the existing hole.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210702-7019b21d-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210707-a3f4cce7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210816-52b61fd0-me.jpg

The mount is then bolted to the bung which exits the quarter panel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210819-85105810-me.jpg

We used the existing brackets from Rockymounts to anchor the tray to our bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220210823-27d28e03-me.jpg

Both mounts are removable and once removed all that is left is the bung.

I have the same problem you do. I am torn between working on my car or my bikes. Then you add riding into the mix and it really screws everything up.

Thanks again for your compliments on the build.

Rear's
18 x 10 - bs 6.75"
BFG KDW2 - 295 35 18
Note: The DSE Mini Tubs allow me to bring the wheels in way further then a stock set up and yes these tubs are well worth the money.

Front's:

Special Modifications
Ride Tech Upper & Lower Arms
Mcgaughy Drop Spindle
1/4 Spacer
Bear Tracker Tie Rod Ends ( modified spindle mount )


I thought you were using your stock spindles? I talked with ride tech recently and they didn't recomend using a drop spindle with their front suspension for Gen 2.

really like what you are doing with this 2nd gen!

[DIYathome]

Thanks for always keeping us updated with your build. Its quite an amazing car. Unique, simple but not over the top with fabrication.
What made you choose the Ride tech 4 link verses a Watts link? As far as it being a car with a budget in mind it seems like the watts link was the less costly option and still a proven design? Im still learning about a watts link setup and everything else that goes along with it and picking between those two options right now.

Thanks for taking the time to submit the bike rack details. Really original idea and well executed. Just cool to see something unexpected like that !

Im still learning about a watts link setup and everything else that goes along with it and picking between those two options right now.

Are you wanting to do leaf springs and a watts link? I can't imagine that a watts setup plus aftermarket springs would be much cheaper than a ride tech four link. You also have to think about the leaf spring mods you would have to do for a mini tub and 335 tires and in my mind the four link seems pretty obvious. Also, you get some options for adjustability.

[DIYathome]

I am unsure right now about what I would like for the rear suspension. I have time so I am trying to figure the plan out for it. a 295 or 315 is fine for me. Wide is awesome but not the most cost effective for something I intend to drive often. Fays watts link is only $650. new set of leaf springs and decent shocks maybe a couple hundred more. If i was going to try and tuck a 335 ya offset shackles and deep tub would be needed and costs go up. My room mates TA has 315 and he just rolled the fender lip. Rear quarters are almost identical. The watts link can be added to most suspension setups. A watts link can be added to the 4 link setup as long as it does not conflict with range of motion for the 4 link or mounting for it. There are several watts link setups that include coil overs, TQ arms and links. BMR is one of them and there are a couple others out there that have a watts link added to their style suspension. I understand going with one company for front and rear suspension and Ride Tech is a great choice with amazing support team and customer service. I'm just curious for a budget build why not a watts link and off set leaf spring shackles to accommodate tire size wanted? If it was considered if there was a deciding factor behind picking one over the other.

[syborg tt]

Thanks for the compliments on the build guys I really appreciate it.

As for why I choose the ride-tech rear set up.

There are some pretty simple reasons.

My goal was to have a 285 or 295 rear tire on the car with one day a matching front tire. If I choose the leaf springs the tire would be really close to the springs and very close to the outer fender lip and I didn't like either of those options.

I actually had purchased a set of mini-tubs from DSE and a set of used DSE leaf springs from a board members but DSE would not sell me the offset spring perch mount even after I begged them to sell them to me. Long story short the springs went into the scrap metal can so they didn't end up in a land fill.

So keeping with the do it yourself at home theory. I made a call to the guys at Ride-Tech and said I wanted the car to sit lower then stock and have some adjustability for spring rate and ride quality. There kit is pretty much bolt in with minor welding and the best bang for the buck.

I was able to do 95% in my garage with my 11 year old daughters help and I only needed the axle brackets welded on. I think I was charged 90 minutes of shop rate to have the kit welded in and that included setting the pinion angle.

Now if you compare it to the Quadra-Link (which is awesome and proven) most shop estimate between 40 to 45 hours on the install and if you don't have a welder / fab skills that is a huge chunk of money as most shops charge between 60 & 85 dollars an hour. (( $2400.00 -- $3400.00 ))

For me the goal with this project is prove to myself I could build a very capable car and save a boatload of cash doing. Spend money where it was going to make an impact and save money and for me Time.

As you kids get older you don't have 5 hours every night to go out to the garage to work on the car and in most case with the RideTech coilover kits you can take you car apart in the morning and be back on the rode by lunch time.

In the end Customer Service, Quality Parts and Proven combinations is what made me choose RideTech. Plus there all pretty darn nice !!:topic:

I did not see the offset links as an option on their web site. Is it something from the catalogue or requested?

I need to thank a couple people here.

Mario from US Collision for letting me borrow his 345 Michelin tire and Chris at JCG Customs www.jcgcustoms.com for letting me borrow his 3 finger wheel tool. The 345 fit perfectly after this very simple modification.

Joe has also been working on the Edelbrock modified exhaust. He made a couple modifications to the floor pan to get the exhaust above the site line under the car. I am very happy with the progress of the exhaust so far.

Yes the cars has been at Kenny's for some time now and it happens to be at his new Body Shop as we speak. So it's getting really close. I am hoping to be caught up on posts in the next 4 weeks.

Ha it's my wife that has all the money. The good thing about this car is it's being built to be a driver first then one day it will mature / morph into a GG Street machine contender.

I want a car that will be fun to drive and take to the Mountain Bike trails and some of the entrance roads are stone & dirt.

[glassman]

Nice to see it coming along.

You gonna paint a bike to match just for the heck of it?

I just tricked out an older Trek hardtail, and when it was done i was like, "ewe". didnt quite come out like i'd hoped.

I missed it, did you go auto or manual? When i'm done after a 3 hour loop (and its been since last year, before my surgery) the last thing i want/need is more left leg work outs. But i put a T56 in mine. I will have bike mounts, just dont know where yet. I'm working on some trunk lid ideas, with the handle bars facing forward, parallel to the car.....

The car is Satin Blue from the Audi R8 with subtle Carbon Accents. The goal is not to be flashy and as a plus I won't have to wax it. Just run it through the touchless car wash a couple times a week. Just call me lazy.

Version 1 Tranny is 700r4
Version 2 Tranny is going to be a 4l60e with a Twist machine Paddle shift set up. ( already own it and can't wait to put it in down the road )

I have the billet pedal assembly to run a manual trans but I want a nice cruiser right now so Auto magic it is.

There are two bikes for the car.

Bike 1 is a Trek Ticket (Show Bike)
the bike is Silver with Blue Accents ( it's pretty bitchen looking)

Bike 2 is a Jamis Dakar 650b Pro
with Red Industry9 Torch Hubs & there new Trail Rims, Race Face bars, stem, seat post, cranks and a SRAM drivetrain.
this has become my new go to bike and I want it with me so I can ride after a Good-Guys Show.

Marty,

Slight off-topic question: How is your garage floor coating hold up with all of the work you are doing?


--Eric

The only damage so far is when we moving the Body In White Challenger out of the garage and on to the transporter. The 2 x 2 square tubing metal dolly hit the floor and as we dragged it across it gouged the floor. Sooner or later I may get it fixed but I doubt it.

7 Chicago winters and it looks just like we put it down yesterday.

I am very happy with it so far.

Marty The 2nd chance Camaro Build is coming along nicely :popcorn2:

[WSSix]

How timely. I was just thinking of messaging Tobin to see if I had any options with his parts should I decide to go with a C clip eliminator kit on my 10 bolt. Do you have any pictures or info you can share on the process, Marty?


Thanks

Hi Trey

I know this is going to be hard to believe but these are the only pictures I took.

Info "Only Some"
1. Yank the axles and cut off the end where the "C" clip would attach

2. Press on the new bearings and bracket from Moser

3. Cut Tobin's Caliper Brackets to make it a "C" so it can slide around the axle flange.

4. Machine a couple new Caliber Shims

5. Install caliper - Check clearance and axle end plate

6. Push car onto trailer and say goodbye as Kenny drives away with it.

Now on a side note: I received an email from a gentlemen and he warned me that the Moser ends are designed for only straight line use and could fail. Anyone have any thoughts on this ????

Mind you this car is actually being build to be driven with very limited auto-cross.

[WSSix]

Thanks Marty. What you said makes sense. Doesn't sound too hard either.

I sure hope the gentleman is wrong about the C-clip kit. That would suck if not.

[glassman]

from what i've heard from the guy who built my 12 bolt is that there ok for autocross but serious track time/events they have their design limitations.

I didnt use them on mine, i have baer in the rear and am a little concerned about pad knock, but cant do anything till my LS is done :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:

Trey was kind enough to PM me what he's learned so I thought I would share it with everyone.

Strange has a new kit that they are saying is specifically for street applications that uses tapered bearings. Just thought I'd pass the info on since you said someone mentioned the kit was designed to go around corners.

here is the info and thank you Trey

STRANGE C-CLIP ELIMINATOR FOR STREET APPLICATION

http://www.competitionplus.com/drag-racing/new-products/13186-strange-c-clip-eliminator-for-street-application-

http://www.competitionplus.com/images/stories/february_2010/new_products/A1033kitframed3.jpg

Strange Engineering, Morton Grove Illinois, introduces a new style, specifically designed for street and/or strip, c-clip eliminator for most 10 & 12-bolt GM car rear ends equipped with c-clip style axles. In the past, c-clip eliminators for these applications have been designed for drag racing, which use ball bearings. Ball bearing c-clip kits are fine for drag racing, but are prone to leaking and premature failure when used for prolonged street use. Our specially designed c-clip eliminator kit (A1033) utilizes Timken unit (tapered) bearings, which survive severe side loads and constant use.

The Strange A1033 also features two seals per axle shaft, ensuring a completely sealed axle end. Complete axle and c-clip eliminator packages are also available.

[WSSix]

No problem. Ron and Jerry were helping me in my thread on building my 10 bolt up and they both passed that info on to me. Figured I better pass it on to you as well since you have the eliminator as well.

Line X looks good. I think that'll be the route I take eventually as well.

[protour73]

Now on a side note: I received an email from a gentlemen and he warned me that the Moser ends are designed for only straight line use and could fail. Anyone have any thoughts on this ????

Mind you this car is actually being build to be driven with very limited auto-cross.

This quite disturbing as I included the c-clip eliminators to my Moser rear end when I ordered it directly from Moser and told them the car was primarily for street use but occasional track use. The guy NEVER said no, this won't work for you!! :bang:

From Moser website in the FAQ section:

Can I use c-clip eliminators for street use?

Answer - We do NOT recommend using C-Clip Eliminators for street use; a C-Clip Eliminator is made for drag race only ( As a safety issue so you do not loose an axle, if it breaks ).C-Clip Eliminators are made for the straight shot down the strip. If you use C-Clip Eliminators on the street the aluminum block will eventually flex from cornering or just going around curves causing the C-Clip Eliminator to leak Rearend fluid.

So here is the plan for the car as this will be my last big build for the next 6 years. I have to put some money away
for College. Right now we are in Phase 1 of the build and there will be three more phase's over the next 4 years. So
this should keep the guys at BBT & Kenny busy for awhile.

Phase 1 - Satin Paint, Gloss Stripes - Nice Driver Build Up with a Bitchen Mountain Bike on the side of the Car from Trek Bikes.

Phase 2 - Major Interior Modifications, Twist Machines Paddle Shift, Recaro Seats and a few more crazy modifications. Only a few people know the plan and they think it's over the top and Trend Setting for sure.

Phase 3 - Firewall & Cowl Modification, C6 Style Subframe, Custom Kore3 Brake Upgrade, and another Set of Billet Specialties Wheels. SLP 427 Motor & ??? Trans.

Phase 4 - Gloss Paint, More Carbon Fiber and a few more one-off ideas. I can't keep the car a Bolt-Together Camaro for ever.

Here is a Sneak Peak of the car in Paint.

I am also looking to sell my Tahoe since I only use it to pull my trailer. I am talking with the guys at the roadster shop about making a c10 chassis that can haul the trailer and then run the autocross track at Good Guys events. Kenny has found a few patinated C10 truck that would be cool but timing isn't good right now.

Thank you


As for Sema. Were are looking at our options. I like the idea of being outside as the exit is very easy compared to being on the inside. I will keep everyone posted if we actually go.

We've decided not to bring the car to Columbus to much work and not enough time to complete the car. So now were shooting for GG Indy. It will give the guys at Custom Works Products time to complete the rear Carbon Fiber Bumper.

[Ed.Capen]

Marty, missing Columbus, well I hope you drag Kenny out and just come to hang out and look at the cars.
Indy would be a good place to take it also. We also have the TX tour that would be cool to take it on the end of September. Pleasanton CA to Dallas TX, I am leading the tour with the Goodguys New Yellow 69 Camaro that RideTech is finishing right now. Come join the fun.

Not to worry I will be at Columbus and Kenny will also be there since I booked his rooms. Seems he forgets every year it's my job to book the rooms.

If the car goes back to Kenny's after Indy I would love to take it to Texas as Kenny talks about that show every year. As for doing the tour I can't do it this year because I took to much time off last year with Surgery and Chemo so my co-worker get priority vacations this year because they all have covered for me for the past 12 months.

Odd how the name of this car has new meaning to me ... 2nd Chance.

[protour73]

Love the color!! Love the satin!!!

Last build for the next 6 years??? ummmm, yea sure......the first step to beating an addiction is admitting you have a problem!!! LOL :snapout:

worse he's using an iPhone......

Okay I am doing this from Memory as I don't have the Dyno sheet here with me at work. But I think it was 468hp. Which should be plenty for a Mountain Bike hauler.

Very nice Marty, keep the pics coming please!

Thanks guys more to come this evening. It was a crazy weekend my wife finally convinced me to sell my daily Mountain Bike hauler and buy a new sport Utility. I forgot how nice it was to have space inside a vehicle.

Did I mention that I only got to drive it home from the dealer and have not seen it since.

[glassman]

Boy that is simliar to Range Rover, that is a Ferd right?

I just bought a Trailblazer SS, my new work/cycle hauler, i love it!! The room, four seats, its sweet. And oh, did i mention the 400 hp LS2?, and it gets a few mpg more that my estimation truck did....put the bike racks on this last weekend. Hard to ride with a broken left knuckle....6 weeks out. Boo.

Cars lookin great btw....hope to see ya and it at SEMA....

Mike

[BBC71Nova]

That's an Evoque, right? I've always thought those were cool mid-size SUVs.

Mike it is the Range Rover Evoque!!! Very bad azz ride! Can't wait to go for a ride in it Marty :hello:

[syborg tt]

It's hard to believe but 5 years ago we bought a Mazda3 for my wife to drive into the city and for me to haul my bike around on weekends. The car was great when my kids were small and no longer worked well 5 years later. So my wife & kids decided we needed to replace it. Plus I could no longer stand listening to them complain so after a Doctors appointment (last one for 4 months) we stopped at the Dealer.

The first dealer was trying to convince me how rare and hard to find they are then I saw there inventory of 25 + so I said they can't be that rare. He made a snide comment and I just laughed. They even told me there nearest dealer just bought two from them yesterday. So I went home and found 125of them within 25 miles of my house. I kinda laughed because I just love car salesmen and I new he was lying.

The sales person called bright and early and I told her I was heading to the other dealer because they had 12 and I was going to see what they would offer. After our conversation ended she must have gone to the sales manager because all of a sudden them came down another $1,750 and increased my trade $500.00.

When I went to the Naperville dealer they came in $2,000 less then there offer. In then end I bought it from the Naperville dealer for $5,000 less so it was only a $6,000 more then a fully equipped Chevy Equinox.

The part that sucks is I only drove it home and haven't seen it since. Seems my wife really likes it.

[syborg tt]

Mike it is the Range Rover Evoque!!! Very bad azz ride! Can't wait to go for a ride in it Marty :hello:

When the warranty runs out in 4 years you can buy it.

The guys started running the brake lines under the car and it looks like Kenny test fitted the seats.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211128-d9046c5c-me.jpg

Yes we powdered coated the Tiger Cage, sorry Bret. The funny part was it was already in the car and Kenny had to pull it back out
to powder coat it red. I bet Kenny called me a few names.

Here is a picture of the fenders going on so we could test fit the new GoodMark Industries hood. (Sorry about the picture Quality)

GoodMark was kind enough to take care of us on the Syborg project and in my world if someone takes care of you, you stand by there
side. So we purchased a new 2" steel cowl hood from them and the fit was spot on. We couldn't be happier. Scroll back up to see how
it looks on the car or wait till tomorrow and I will do another post with the hood on the car.

##### Still looking for this picture #####

I am betting you are right and yep the dash pad was covered in leather. However he had it done with red stitching and the seats have white stitching so that is getting redone as we speak.

Kenny and I agreed that the stock hinges needed to be upgraded. A quick call to the
good people at the Ring Brothers and a new set of hinges were on there way.

Kenny wanted to come up with something different to mount the radiator and when you see it finished it looks perfect.

Kenny dropped the DSE closeout at his buddy's to have it water transferred. The goal is to match some of the carbon fiber that will be
in the engine bay.

I'm keeping the box and I am going to put all of the receipts in it from this build. I will also make sure I hide the box from my wife so she doesn't freak out.

[BBC71Nova]

Yes, since it is made of wood it will be a great place to keep build receipts. It should burn quite nicely :rofl:

2013 09-05 2nd Chance Camaro - Custom Works Products Carbon Fiber Valve Covers
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Afternoon,


Sticking with the new Carbon Fiber Theme under the hood and advice from the Real Bob Johnson we decided to swap the Edelbrock
Coil Covers for a set of Custom Works Carbon Fiber Valve Covers for Sema this year.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2015/12/20/20151220211337-386cb4df-me.jpg


The metal bracket will allow us to mount the ls1 coils directly on the valve covers to keep things simple.

Thank you very much.

Coming along nicely, Marty. I'm really like the matte finish on the paint.

It's getting there and wait to you see the paint for the final coat of Satin Clear. It looks really nice Kenny & the guys did a great job. Especially since this is going to be my driver.

It looks great and is going to turn a lot of heads. Especially when they see the bike attached to it. Very Nice Marty.

I can't wait to see the bike on the Car. I shipped the bike to Kenny last week and it's pack with shredded paper. Trust me that is going to make a mess when he opens up the boxes and I am certain he is going to have a few choice words for me.

Probably would have been easier to just leave the bike off, huh?

Sorry, I had to bust on you a little! The car is looking real good!

Nah, the bike is what makes the car cool and stand out on a budget from all of the other Camaro's out there. This is truly Pro-Touring and it has nothing to do with going left or right.

[ma73z]

Car is coming along great Marty! Where did you get your afco radiator from?
