The Camaro Nationals

You gotta love the man who invented refrigeration. 1000 cars inside the Classic auto mall on top of the show is way cool.

The paint looks like it’s still wet on the red 69.

And then there are the discussions about correctness/what was/wasn’t/overspray/spatter paint/spatter paint color, etc.
And now I think I know why they moved the ac compressor to the other side. Look how those lines are crammed in there. The 327 is nice to see.

I was there yesterday (Friday) and I had some high expectations.  I know I’m going to get some grief here buuuut….. I was not that impressed with most of these cars that are supposed to be dead nuts correct.  For example, I saw one car that had wrong bolts in obvious places and a big-block car having a small block fan, and these are supposed to be Legend cars.   Ehhhh whatever…. Yeah there were some nice cars… The vendors were good with Jim Stubbings himself being there selling parts. It was daggone hot though!!!!!

The Pacer has the fiber optics and yes, he has the rear monitor as well. That’s not something you see often, much less on a Pacer.

A huge surprise was this 68 in Teal Blue. I’ve had mine since 1986 and have only seen 2 others. His has fiber optics as well.
