Default Couple quick pics of my Camaro project

Well I had to roll the car out of the shop to do some cleaning and I just got my new wheels on so I thought I'd snap some quick pics to share on here. The car is just a roller at the moment but after a couple years being down it is finally making some progress toward running again. Hood still needs paint and some little odds and ends need to taken car of before its a finished roller but you get the idea. Let me know what you think.







These two are kinda dark...




Thanks for looking!
Jon

I'm building the car for a local true 10.5" class. It's basically the only heads-up racing in the area without having to travel 5+ hours to go race. We don't have any radial classes that run on the skating rinks around here.

I haven't trimmed the fenders yet. The car had 28" tires on it but with the 29.5" it's definitely going to need some clearancing.

The front wheels are MT Pro-5 ET Drags and Champion DBL on the back.

Glad you like the wheels. They look good. The hood is a Sunoco pin on.

Yeah Steve, I like them a lot! That's for taking care of me on those. I think they are better in person.

John, I'm planning on doing a 360 c.i. LSX motor w/ a F2 Procharger on alcohol. I haven't decided on fuel injection or blow-thru yet. I'm probably gonna try it with the carb then when I have a little more jingle in my pocket and feel comfortable tuning it, move it over BS3. Right now, I just want to see the thing run on it's own!
