these are a few pics of my 1969 z/28 Camaro I am just getting done have some better pics and will post more soon as I get this computer sorted out thanks
Looking pretty great there Uncle Bob..Was that to-days project ?? I had to go to Stratford to-day and damn it's cold and windy here with lots of blowing snow.. We got about 5 inches since yesterday..I hope you had some heat on.. Damn winter That's a different looking brake set up or at least those hubs and Rotors look look different I thought they used vented rotors on them..Thats a nice car..How do you afford to drive it or do you mostly just race it seems like you would need a high limit on your credit card to feed it if your just out for an afternoon cruise..

if it can't fly leaving the line what is a good ride this one may not be as good as my vega was for wheelstands but we will try love to please the crowd
this car ran a 364 sbc and a liberty clutchless 5 speed and a 5.38 gear car ran best of 9.64 at nowalk raceway park it did run 9.70 at st thomas
That's a couple cool shots of your Vega.. Tell us some more about that car ..when did you last run that car and what happened to it..Where all did you race that car.. Got any more side view pictures of it..I think some of the others would like to know some history. or in shorter for History to story..looks like you had some fun with that car..

Holy Smokes.. You are already way over my mechanical skill set.. But I do know how to use a scanner and a scope to diagnose most new cars on the road.. Racing stuff has always been a price I could never afford.. But it looks impressive to me and I am sure there are many here who speak the same language as you.. I am just an old street-rod cruiser cruiser guy ..I can barley squeal the tires on wet pavement..Thanks for posting that I am sure others will be glad to see that stuff..Me I will be happy to have a little more amps to keep my a/c cool never mind smoking the tires off my old tank..
