Take as many as you can cause you never know when they will be gone
I need to do my interior. Ive had a few people ask what it looks like. I want to do some stuff with lights and colored gels.
Gotta remember to get some from work tomorrow Wink

These are OK. I took 81 pics, these came out best. and they are Just OK
I wish I had a ladder and a way to steady my camera cause these would have been sweet

Its a mild 466/C6 3:00 gear of street tires with about 35 psi in the tires
I ran a 13.865, Chris Jones got it up to 13.766

This year it gets 31 spline axles and a 3:50 trac lock and then its done. Its a street
car.


This is GlennZ taing it down the track for the 2nd time ever. I asked him if he could do a decent burnout.

Some other Vids (nothing special)

Chris' car is cool

LOL, When I saw the title of thread "smurfy fairlane" I passed. I hated those little blue guys as a kid.....

But, man....cool car! very well done and clean. I'm not a formal roof fan, but ever since I saw this one and the shaker equipped white one on another thread
I've started to really dig them alot more.

Phil, you missed your calling. The camera work agrees with you. GREAT PICS MAN! When mine is done, I'm drafting your ass and your coming to Maryland with your camera in tow Very Happy

What city is that? Very clean and nice....haven't a clue

Oh hey, Thanks a lot for the compliments!
I'm looking forward to this summer but I think the car needs some TLC. The driver's side leafspring U bolts are sorta loose and I may need to insulators to stop the play. Also I am getting a lot of valve train noise. I need to go through and see what's up. Also my trans cooler burst a while ago and the residual trans fluid in the cooling system is eating the hoses.
I need to flush and replace all the rubber Rolling Eyes

I'm in Toledo Ohio. An industrial town with not much industry left.
Lots of cool places for pics and/or stabbings Laughing

As for the pics its just kinda fun. After I wrapped my other car around a pole without
taking many pics I decided to remedy that. I'd advise anyone to do the same.
I love looking at old car pics.

I've been to Toledo, and I have to say it's a pretty town with some tall yet empty buildings which would be fun to explore....

I was there in I believe Febuary of 2006 with my reserve Marine unit... we were there for about 5 days doing a little training in downtown Toledo. Neat place.
