anyone know if camarosource is doing the calander again this year? I really dont have a shot in hell since my car is far from the 'camaro' look, but just interested in knowing


...keep up the pics guys, they're looking awesome- I had planned on doing a great shoot today since classes were cancelled, but I think my transmission mount is bad (I give the throttle some juice and my tranny lifts up - like the shifter lifts up out of the console)....eek

There is a bad story, with a good outcome pertaining to the hood. About 8 years ago, I had a minor mishap, on the turnpike, returning from a cancalled High Perf. Pontiac show at E-town. I had my drag radial on, and hit a good down pour on the way home. The car hydroplaned, and I touched the nose of the car off the center guardrail. I did some minor sheetmetal damage to the nose, but took out a disk in my neck at the same time. Long story short, that is a Harwood hood, that cost me way less, than a new stocker. So, that alone took care of my deductable. I always wanted a lighter hood anyway, just did not want to get it that way. I missed 3 months of work, with my injury and all. Wife and kid were not hurt. LESSON: When it rains, pull over if you have drag tires on!!!!

My spring pic.



The only spring pic I took this year. Not the greatest pic but it will have to do.

Finally got the car running after a year and a half and drove it for a whole week . It is down again for another 3-4 months.

they create leverage against the studs, and break them off, basically they move the contact patch of the tire away from the car. There have been many cars totalled from broken wheel studs because of the use of spacers.

which is why they have adapters to use, which in turn are completley safe
