I still wanna finish my 71 Camaro, but everytime I see one especially the early second gens..... I think about trading.

I jist finished welding some bracing all up to do the roof swap. Once I start making real progress I'll probably be more content


Safety loop big need!!! my GTO shaft let loose on the interstate scared the hell outa me!
No kidding! Broken driveshafts are no joke. Ive had it happen twice. Now I stick with the higher end aftermarket stuff.

Whoa, I just realized I crossed over the 20 year member mark. It sure has been a long fun road. Anyway, keep at it Corey!

Picked these up tonight! Forgestar F14 17x10+44 wrapped in 275-40-17 ET Street SS

Tires could be a little meatier in my opinion but they fit great so I'm happy. I love the color of these

Hitting the track this Sunday, will report back with times.





Also got my exhaust done! Overall I'd say it is a lot deeper, the "trumpeting" sound I'd get around 2100 is all but gone, and thankfully the shop fixed all the leaks from my Speed Engineering Y-pipe and their clamps. SOTP feeling is better too! Here's a vid

Long day on Sunday! Did not get a chance to run bc we went on a rescue mission to get my buddy a spare driveshaft after shredding this one on the first pass of the day.

Ended up making it back to the track right before it closed and was able to get his TA back in action. Car did good as a highway cruiser lol. Got me thinking I should ditch the stock DS

Little paint work going on today. I have been wanting to paint my mirrors for a while and had the supplies for this for a couple months or so and got around to tackling it today.

Very happy how it turned out being a DIY aerosol job. Clear is still curing so I'll be wet sanding once that is done.

Figured if I messed up they would probably look better than they did before anyway lol



My 3D printed mirror brackets still going strong!



The products



Did 4 coats of primer, 4 base coats, and 4 coats of clear.

As in for the TA vents? I could, but I know my dash is going to crumble if I try to take my vent out lol

Door panels might be a little big for my printer 😂
