Thanks…  
It’s only going under it’s own power for now. Just got to work out a few electrical bugs and tranny linkage. Hopefully take it for its maiden voyage on Tuesday night.

Specs, You don’t need to know those 🙂 It’s bad ass and I’m excited as hell for the next few days for it to roll down the street.

I’ll eventually post more details on the 470ci/700r4/4.11posi 12 bolt Camaro.

Made it out for it’s first public appearance (running) 🙂  
Trailered it to the Olcott Beach show yesterday and drove it in. Still has some bugs to work out, but should be good ina few days.  
it’s badass. Can’t wait to cruise it.

![http://rodandpiston.com/show/olcott07c/web/randp_27.jpg](http://rodandpiston.com/show/olcott07c/web/randp_27.jpg)

It was the first time I got to bring it anywhere with my friend John that co-wons [RodandPiston.com](http://RodandPiston.com) with me and his 79 Z28 that we just did a engine swap in.

Oh yea, I got an Award of Excellence at the show 😉  
First show, first award.

Thanks for the comments…

The wheels to me are like sex… hotness… So glad I changed from Torq Thrust and pulled out the wallet on those ones.

As for the track, next season. After yesterdays show, pulled it back in the garage and haven’t got to touch it yet. Will work on the small issues on Tuesday and hopefully have everything taken care of for next Sunday for the Sheridan Drive Nostalgia Cruise. 🙂

Fuckin A that is sharp. That just goes to show how much a unique set of wheels can make an otherwise common ()although very freakin nice) muscle car stand out from the crowd. And my friends wonder why I am looking at 5k sets of rims for my fox bod, well there is your answer why, cause the right set can make the car look stuppidddd hotttt 👏

I had an opportunity to take a few more pics in great sunlight overlooking the water, but I had to do some work at the show and didn’t get the chance to. I want to bring it to a few scenic locations and take some pics before Fall.
