General Discussion / Time Machine
« on: January 15, 2014, 03:11:42 AM »
In another thread I posted some pics from another site of a 69 Nova SS on the dealership lot.  Janobyte asked the question what wouldnt I want off that lot.  That got me thinking hence the thread title "Time Machine".

If you could go back in time and order whatever Camaro you wanted what would it be?  Spec it out. 

Mine is a tie between 2 68's

1.  RS/Z28 AA paint with 725 interior, console delete, heater delete, with Astro Ventilation glass, cowl plenum and header add-on with no spoiler with M22 and BW rear

2.  SS/RS L78 K2 paint D90 stripe with 714 interior, console with gauges, AM/FM radio, no spoiler, M22, BT rear

Ok your turn.   ;D

General Discussion / Closet Find..
« on: January 04, 2014, 03:23:59 AM »
Since I am stuck inside due to sickness and the fact its just too freakin' cold outside I ran across a couple mags in the back of a closet.  Neat little article in Rodder & Super/Stock about the 68 L35; along with a pull out photo of the Grump.  Also if anyone needs to know the price of a new 1968 vehicle just let me know.   ;D

General Discussion / Age Groups of Our Hobby
« on: December 11, 2013, 01:30:23 PM »
A couple of comments in another thread Mecum z28  about how the younger generation is losing interest in the muscle car age.  So just figured I would find out roughly what the age groups actually are here.

Here is another piece I am restoring..  Keeping it as original as possible.

As received:








Current Stage:







Still not finished but wanted to give some progress shots.  That is the original housing decal and original lens.  I was very happy with how they turned out..  Lens was very scratched and hazy.

General Discussion / Movie / TV Camaros
« on: November 01, 2013, 07:17:45 PM »
While doing a search for photos I stumbled across many older pictures of screen shots from tv shows and/or movies with are beloved 1st gens in them.  So I thought I would post some of those pics and see if anyone here could guess the show or movie from which it was from..   :P
If you have one dont hesitate to post it up.  I love seeing vintage photos or clips of these cars.

And no cheating!!   ;D


Heres the first:

Restoration / First attempt at Zinc Plating
« on: October 04, 2013, 12:12:28 AM »
Well I finally got around to try out my zinc plating process.  Everything seems to have gone ok for the first prelim run.  I believe once I get more parts and the process down I think these parts will come out great.  Figured I would try it out on a broken clamp.  I only worked on the outer ring portion of the clamp and nothing else.  I also think once I blast these parts they will take better.

Before



After first dip.


After third dip and scrubbing.
