Nitroexpress 10-21-2008, 10:21:54 PM Full brake swap planed for mine,Got new SSBC force 10 up front with slotted & drilled rotors as well as a new master & dual diaphram boster also adding rear disc's along with a new dash & covan insert with autometer guages.
Hunting season right now and most of my free time is spent doing that durring this time of the year. I'll be ripping into the car sometime this winter for sure!

I need a camaro fix!
SpeedAddict02 10-22-2008, 08:09:56 PM I need a car that dont need to be fixed... LOL
Nice job on the intake.. I painted one once b4 with the same paint you used.. came out good.. But I didnt use the primer.. I have to install my intake also and was going to paint it.. I'll try the primer this time..

I Did it to my old performer manifold when I first bought my car 4 years ago:

Was nice for a while but I hated yellow & I had to improve the engine so now I've got this:

It only took 4 years = :confused:
Like I said I've got to do the brakes & dash this winter & I may even swing for the full front end kit from pro-touring F-Body if I have the extra $$$$... I've got the front bilstin shocks & spring tech lowering springs in there already,but now I need to upgrade the rest.Rear was done 2 years ago it's a full Moser 10 bolt with eldelbrock shocks Car already had replacement springs and good bushings & shackels in it when I bought it....

Thanks Joe, I liked it better out of the car. Once I installed it I hated it. It looks fake. Not what I was looking for at all, to "silver-y"
SpeedAddict02 10-22-2008, 10:36:48 PM lol... I'm sure once it goes through a few heat cycles it'll dull out some..
To be honest, I remember thinking the same thing about it looking fake..But I never used it.. It was the intake that was one the stock v6 that was in my last 81.. once i removed the heads, the block was cracked so i never used it..

He forgot to bring his camera. Yes he is a dork. I'm going to keep an eye on G419 and see if they have any footage of the show.
