69 Camaro resto - It's ALIVE! - no 56k

Yeah, I would have LOVED to buy the 66. My dad bought it in 76, then sold it to my aunt and it sat for ages in her garage along with the 73 Roadrunner my dad bought brand new. She sent it to Corvettes and Performance in Clearance and it came out AMAZING. EVERYTHING was new, every bushing, every bolt, only thing that was just cleaned and re-used was the interior which was in AMAZING shape suprisingly. My dad was trying to buy it off her and she was going to sell it to him for $12K with the stipulation that if he ever sold it, she got first crack at it. I think since the frame off resto, the car had about 200 miles put on it. WHY WHY could this have not happened a year after it did:tantrum:

She’s rollin’ tonight, got zee plates and reg today :tup:

For now, a Carb

Well, tomorrow might be a huge update day…

Got all the lines ran, finishing off fuel pump tomorrow…
Just got to drop in the distributor, run the plug wires and click the key.

I WANT to have the car ready and safe for less than 2 weeks to drive it out to the Olcott Beach car show on September 1st. Let’s see if it can be done. :slight_smile:

4.5 hours of cranking on it with some very awesome friends, and…

It’s ALIVE

:slight_smile:

NICE!!!

Can’t wait for it.

hahahahah…awesome man but i cant help to laugh at the split second before it fired…“please dont blow up” it was just a funny moment…good luck i hope to see it out

The guys there with me knew that was the appropriate thing for me to think… So far, so good. :slight_smile:

poo poo vid…c’mon now, you had all today to fire it up and let it scream…now lets really hear it…

Actually had it running for a few more seconds tonight at 9pm :slight_smile:
But the oil pressure guage wasn’t working and that’s a necessity. So probably going to work on the wiring on Thursday and tyr to get it set up to fire on Saturday am. Finally not doing it late at night and pissing off half of Kenmore. :slight_smile:

IT’s ALIVE!!!

Pics and vids tonight. I’m psyched!

Oh yea, and just made a last minute decision to get 3" exhaust at Mufflerman.
Bad ass! :slight_smile:

As promised some video snippets
It’s alive! Video :slight_smile:

Enjoy

EXCELLENT!!! congrats joe!! can’t wait to see this beast in person
