Lookin good! It's still one of my favorite cars, though I really like it with the hood.
One of the things I like best about it is that it's remained largely the same for almost 20 years.

just watched the video.. was hoping to hear it running.. oh well.
looks like a great work in progress in the next bay. I couldn't tell if its a camaro or bird but it is definatly a '68 or '69.. not a '67 or '70.

As far as times I have never had it on a dyno and the last time it was on the track was in 88 and it had a 144 on it at that point. I was hoping to go to a track day this year with the upstate guys but it looks like thats not coming together

Sweeeeeeet ride. It vaguely reminds me of my 84 5.0 HO. RIP Same color scheme, but that's about where the similarities end. Nice rides and garage!

That car is amazing!! And the fact that you have owned, babied it since new, left it mainly unchanged from when you first modded it, and don't race it is also amazing!! My hats off to you sir!
