Had a friend take me to the strippers to get the Honeys..
There was a "PARTS" car there, waiting to be media blasted!

going to be very sharp with those honeycombs, Bruce.

Looks like that Camaro at the stripping place once had its rear spoiler "molded in"...

yeah that rear end spoiler area is interesting. That car has no body tag, and no VIN, suspected a 71 by looking at the evap system

One of my "honeys" on a Wheel balancer with a extended Adjustable " Lug Centric" adapter
at a ..gulp NISSAN garage! Too bad the car will not move with the wheels /tires installed.
My stock 1980 WS6 rear ( 4Wdisc) calipers hit. now looking for a 1990 Camaro/firebird rear wheel spacers, that fit snug and dont move. I cant see the multi purpose ones with the spacer ring sliding down as you install the wheel, talk about out of balance.

NICE!! I like it!! ( only thing I would do , if mine, would be to get some cooler air in the engine, via the fender , or? maybe a factory air cleaner with a chrome lid?
SWEET ride though

Thanks guys...I am working toward the fresh air set up. I am currently testing 3 carbs and intakes. Got several different air cleaner assy that I swap aroung to work with whatever carb/intake I have on that day. When I nail down what I want to stay with, my next step will be to try and catch some fresh air and permanent air filter assy. Also undecided on hood. Need the TA scoop really to get some carb height. Hey Lloyd. I'll send you the info.
