Time for my comeback!!

Just decided to log in see what was going on around here and saw badnblack had put a post up of my car, if some of you were watching it didnt hit reserve, actually 600 bucks away the first time and about a grand away the second. So i guess the only thing i have to do now is keep it and continue my TT LT4 build. I'm not going to smog it in january or register it since its running like crap right now. The demise of it was oct of 08 the place i was renting was foreclosed on....I was pissed and went for a lets say hard drive....a hard drive that turned up a mistake i had made when i put together my 355, well being in the process of buying a house, money was tight it went to my dads and we swapped the factory shortblock back under it so i could drive it if needed. Thats where the LT1 build started, right now i'm spec'in it out to be nasty radical, come time its ready to run again we will see if i'll get it threw emissions or just go play in 10.5 outlaw, i really dont foresee this thing seeing the street for a solid 3-4 years at the earliest as i'm also building a cummins powered 55 chevy truck along with my daily driven ram. I am still here, i'm starting to get a gleam back in my eye for this thing...its just gonna need some changes before i think i fully hook back on.

I've also been wanting to share a few photos with you guys of probably the work that has made me the proudest..23 years old and thats MY hot rod in MY house...that i own!!!! Plus a little preview of whats to come

Re: Time for my comeback!!

Paul really glad that your finding renewed interest in the Camaro! I was sad to see you selling it, and even sader that it would not hit your reserve, but looks like it was for a good reason!

As always give me a call if your want to bs about it!

Re: Time for my comeback!!

Paul, you need to hook up with Steve1968LS2 on Pro-Touring.com.
He's the tech editor for Camaro Performers and is always looking for 3rdgen feature material.

BadnBlk posted your ebay ad over there also so he's familiar with your car.

DOIT! We need more 3rdgen features!!
