1968 Camaro (projekt 1sickT8)

[Rod]

just an update, I basically buttoned up the car on Sunday and test drove it for 3 days to work and then packed my Camaro Plain Jane up with tools, folding chairs a few extra parts and drove my 68 camaro 547 miles on Thursday to the rttc event I met up with Rich from Road Touring Customs in Gilroy followed their convoy, to Ironworks to meet up with Roger and have lunch, The Newman Clan from Newman Car Creations were already there having lunch and the I drove into LA with the Kyle and Paul Newman and their great looking tri 5s, about 3 miles from the hotel an exhaust flange came loose and was making a ton of noise that last mile to the hotel, once there I let the motor cool and with Kyle Newmans help (i used his jack and stands) I crawled under the car and put in new flange bolts, on Friday morning, after the drivers meeting my first event was the larger 2 mile road track, and after 3 laps my engine temp had become very hot so I pulled of the track and did a quick once over and the cooling fan wasn't running (burned out) back to the pits and install a new fan, but I got 3 good laps in

on the drive home Sunday I had my favorite so-cal radio station playing on the radio and there they were right in front of me, Go KROQ!!



and I had to stop at in-n-out Burger on the way home to get dinner and use the parking lot curb behind the store as a jack to fix the other exhaust flange!!
