Well...

The Brutal Camaro is ALIVE!

I drove it for the 4th time today.

The car is loud! It smells! It rides rough! It drags on high curbs!

I'm in heaven!

Hey guys,

If I post pics of the outside of the car, it won't look any different than it did before. I have not done anything to the outside (with the exception of repainting the front fender white, because I had a Ja%^@$$ touch it up for me 2 years ago with YELLOW INSTEAD OF WHITE!).

All the work I did is underneath the skin... and I'm sure you have seen all the stuff I did to it in my book, "How To Build & Modify GM Pro-Touring Street Machines".

If I still need to post pics, let me know. :)

If this is the 4th time he has driven the car, it must be that one. I never know which one he is talking about, dont they both have the same or similar names.

The picture shown is a customer of Speed Merchant. That Camaro has been labeled the "Secret Camaro" (by me), since I'm never really allowed to show pictures of it. I guess we can call it "1 BAD MO FO"!
The car is going to get the sheetmetal interior done in a couple of weeks. It's getting close.

The car I just got running is my white big block Camaro. It's been down for about two years. The 97 Mustang was sold yesterday. The 68 big block "Brutal Camaro" is now my daily driver again.

I can beg to put up some more pictures of the "Secret Camaro" next week.

Secret Camaro -belongs to Speed Merchant customer:

Tito,

I actually didn't like until I installed this flow valve from Detroit Speed:
http://detroitspeed.com/MustangIIFitting10.html

It was WAY too twitchy and overpowered with my little AGR power steering TC pump. I'll try to put the information about the valve in the reprint of the GM book.

I like it now. It feels really good. I'm going to see if I can dial in the bumpsteer a little. It doesn't seem to be worse than the stock steering.

Congrats Tony...I know it's been a LONG time comming!! :)

How do you like the DSE coilover conversion compared to before with just their upper arms and compared to stock?? I've already completed my C/O conversion...but wanted to know what I can expect!! :)

Also did you ever straighten out the end link issue on your front sway bar??
