Murvilboy and his '72 Camaro

[murvilboy]

Hi my name is RJ and I found this forum through Google. Done some reading and figured I would join. My hometown is Maryville, TN (Murvil the way Tennesseeans like to pronounce it) but I live in Crestview, FL due to being stationed at Eglin AFB. I just acquired my dad's 1972 Camaro that has been in our family for years. The car has a 406 cu in. with TH350 tranny. The motor was blueprinted, balanced, bored and honed by a machine shop in Knoxville, TN back in 1994. The heads have been ported and polished and 3 angle valve job and a cam. I dont remember the specs of the cam but will review the paperwork once I find it. The car has been tuned on 108 octane but timing has been reduced to run pump gas. It has a Line Lock and transbrake on the car but not used due to the weak 10-bolt rearend with 3.73s. The car was built for footbrake class at local bracket racing but its slowly turning more and more into a street machine. My future plans for the car is to throw a staggered 18 inch set of wheels and tires without cutting it up and drop it about 2" with a cowl hood and front under spoiler. I will also give it a paint job but I havent decided my color scheme yet. Any pics or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will post more pics but this is the only one i have ATM.

i know the stickers need to go but as you can tell they are in the process of being removed but this is as she sits today.

Sorry for such a long intro but just excited to have the car and own a piece of American history.

here are some pics of the car being test fitted with z06 wheels off a C5 vette. it looks like will need 2" spacers up front and 2.5" spacers in the rear. upon further inspection of the car it looks like this car was an original 307 car built in Norwood with a RS option and painted Mojave Gold with Tan interior. Someone along the way has swapped the front end but my goal is to get it back to the RS it began with and paint it back Mojave Gold but still keep the black interior. Im going to powdercoat the wheels black as well.
