I love most of the styling on the new Camaros, but that dashboard makes babies cry. Very nice ride in every other regard.

Re: PO has me PO'd

The big white truck showed up today, got a package from Tri-something or other...

Seems like if you put an idea in the persons ear you get a new patch panel!

Anyway, now I have to pull my wood bed apart. Seems like a good time to derust the frame

This thing is becoming a poster child for Tri-??? I should at least get a decal for my tool box lol

Hehe, re-up money, you are funny. Never did get any of that. Nah, this was my 25th Anniversary present from the wife. She was feeling guilty about something and I wasn't saying no!!

It has the 6.2L L99. I got the automatic tranny, so no LS3. Its still 426 HP tho, so it'll put your head back nice and strong when you get on it. I really like it...

The dash is a little Spartan, I would have liked the back-lighting to have extended to it as well. Might be something I can upgrade to on my own. Once I get brave enough to do anything other than change oil and put gas in it that is.

She does have a sister, if you don't mind trying out to be Husband Nr. 4, I'll hook you up! She's not bad looking if you gag her and put a bag over her head.

Good luck on that!! I've waited and pleaded with manufactors for years. Finally, Jon at Tri-??? Automotive had a set made. Don't know much about them, as far as if he will make more, but you can PM him at jb4short on this site and he may have an answer for you

Sorry, I can't sell you mine, as I have plans for them

Re: PO has me PO'd

Had a little problem with clearance on my Cloyes double row timing chain, so I ground down the block some. Also set the sprocket up for 4° advance, to try to build in some low end torque

Also added a .030 wear plate behind the the cam sprocket to add a little protection to the block, misalignment of the sprockets was within specs., so I didn't have to machine cam sprocket

Its great to have a job.... Being locked up with and amongst 200 inmates can be a bit stressfull, lol. I have no where near as much wrenching time as I did in the before time. I did pick up a bunch of new brake parts the other day though. I haven't lost hope of finishing it, this summer
