Simply amazing what a body shop can do if you pay them enough.






Actually, Santa gots a new sleigh.....WOOHOO! Time for that beer!

The wife & I were out looking for Camaros that might work for what we WERE planning to build as a replacement for the TA & we stumbled across this car. It's the same as our old car excpet its a 6 sp, but it's in very good condition & was reasonably priced, so we jumped on it.

From the ashes the Phoenix rises....

I probably missed it... but did the blown one get creamed or something? Only thing that would give it away at first glance it isn't the original is that the wheels are different from the ones I saw at the car show.

Yeah, you missed it alright. Search a little further down.

Mark,
You with a manual? Your going to have to learn how to drive all over again but it is more fun. So you keep talking about a plan. What is it or has Linda not let you in on it yet?

Mark, that is outstanding! I am so happy that you got a new car so fast. Nothing to help mend the loss like gettig a new one!

Looks like a real nice clean car! What year is it? If you need any help turning some wrenches, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

I'm sure Eric was just teasing....I cut my teeth on a BBC with a Super T-10.

But to answer the question, the T56 will be coming out. I doubt even Ellis can build one that will take repeated power shifts in my car. And I don't lift when I shift if I'm racing.

And if I were to try that, the blower would complain. I've tried the partial throttle stuff & lifting practicing road racing & it doesn't care much for that. But it LOVES WOT!

My dad wouldn't even let me get a driver's license until I could pass the driving test in a car with a manual transmission... and if I couldn't fix my own car when it broke, I walked until I could fix it.

I'm guessing it's a '99... but it would have to be a '98 or '99 based on the interior color. They changed to "ebony" in '00.
