Well fellas, I'm down in the dirt. Lost my father at 1:30 PM yesterday afternoon. I'm pretty fucked up about it. Not only was he a old *** Vietnam veteran with a hell of a history fighting his demons, but here lately he was starting to change. Of all the ways for him to go, my brother killed him. Never thought it would happen that way in a million years.
RIP dad.
RIP dad.

Well gentlemen, it is about time to build my first shop. Hopefully I will have all the funds to get it to 100%. And with that, I'll be back to more builds than ever.
I am curious, for those new, end even some older fellas, should I go through the trouble of making a YouTube channel? You guys think there are enough or you think some extra for the carbed and even EFI stuff may need more coverage for sharing with the "DIYrs"? I've thought about this and would not really be out much. Just need a camera and the editing software would probably be no big deal.

I hear that documenting and videoing builds doubles or triples the build time just because you're constantly messing with camera angles, presentation and editing.
there is a guy on pt.net that has a youtube channel and he documents all kinds of stuff. it's interesting, and I believe he makes money from youtube doing it.
BTW, I will be totally jelly over your shop. I need more property! If you ever need to talk to someone about the new drama in your life, I've got ears and you have a phone.

Well, you can be jelly of my shop and I'll be jelly of your 1st gen Camaro. Lol
Hope the knee is getting better man. Lmk if I need to drive the Camaro for you. Just to say I did.
And yea, changing angles is no biggie, but the video editing will eat time when its ready to be put together.

ehh, those 33x22 rears don't hook well. they look cool! to be honest, the chassis needs serious help. rear coilovers are shot, the 4 link needs to be set correctly and a 3.6 liquid cooled blower on top of a 408 stroker and ported ls3 heads with meth injection only makes around 420RWHP

420....I'd say you're smoking something. (pun intended)
Maybe one day I can get some big fatties (another pun) under mine...325's would be fine since I like the look, but with these guys going fast on 275's, I see no reason to yet.
I got a great seat to see what a Maggie did on a bone stock LS1 from a 98 Vette...fender to fender the whole way (My 11.30 to his 11.32) with my old SBC 406....the whole reason I went LSx
