The camaro build

[BMFScout]

need an inspection sticker. the cam makes the sniffer unhappy. I have told him to run down to cs one weekend and tell them he lives at that ****ty house at the end of dexter.

[Seth]

you mean, run down to CS and back one day after work and be back in time for leno?

[davido]

Bring it down for the next Autocross. I'll post the date.

I had no idea you had stripped it all down that much. That takes some balls.

nice camero!

[Fredo]

That's the cleanest 3rd gen I've seen yet... Good build thread too.

Do you have 4.10's in it now?

Thanks. Yeah, it's got 4.10s back in it. I swapped the awesomeness of the 10 bolt out for a Moser 9" ford setup. Don't really have to worry about the rear axle anymore.

Is it still driven often?

No, not really. If I could figure out what's going on with the tuning/catalytic converter, I would drive it more, but right now the state of Texas doesn't approve of it's emissions. I used to have a hook up for that, but not so much anymore. It runs fine, but it's just not eco-friendly right now.

like the curvy road in hartsfield

I still want to organize a pike's peak-ish road race on that road. The first time I ran that road in the camaro, I was actually shaking and giddy....that was a first for me in that car. I don't blame Jimmy for being scared one bit riding shotgun with me on the second running of the road.....at night.

needs a rollbar. looks cool and good for your neck.

[Fredo]

Yes John, that it does. It really needs a cage, but I can't figure out how to make it look good in the car due to it being a convertible. Yeah, if I put a cage in it, it would be new motor time. I'm thinking a couple of turbos would be fun.

That actually sounds kind of fun. I haven't done that since the time St.John and I went to autocross and the TAMSCC guy went off on St.John for using all 585hp of the mustang coming onto the back straightaway.

[agjohn02]

eh, if you're gonna do a cage, get a hardtop. ive never seen a rollcage in a convertable that looked good.

[Fredo]

Well, the car pretty much needs the rigidity of a cage if I'm going to put anymore power through it. I really don't know how a rollbar would help other than in a rollover. Which honestly, if that car was to actually roll, the car would probably be in a bad enough situation to disintegrate rollbar or not.

[agjohn02]

you could do a 6 point rollbar with doorbars

[davido]

...with the leather wrapped double top bars. Like the old TA that they have on Muscle Car or whatever that Saturday garage show is before Extreme 4x4.

[Fredo]

I wish I could find more pictures of this vette. I'm curious how they did this and made it look as good as I think it does. Not so much the rear of it, but the way the front looks at the windshield frame. Are the bars just tied into the windshield frame structure or what?

I don't think this would look that bad. The back seat is pretty much worthless as it is, take it out, carpet that area and have space for a suitcase again. If you put the top down before getting in, the doorbars wouldn't really be that big of a deal.

I guess a double bar wrapped in leather would make it look more like a mustang roll bar, which would be cool.
