http://s3.postimage.org/VTpvA.jpg http://s3.postimage.org/VTr_J.jpg http://s3.postimage.org/VTuuS.jpg So a late morning call to 32V got us tearing the front bumper out of the Trans Am.

We (HGR) send a large amount of scrap to east side metals. They seem to pay the best on a very consistent basis, and we send A LOT of scrap there!

Chardon Oil used to carry race fuel, but you may want to check and see if it's leaded or not.

So the new springs are in both sides, shocks are back in, and the car is back on the ground. Initially, the car sat exactly 2" higher than it was. After some bouncing, and stacking a couple hundred pounds of sand on the front of the car, the springs appear to be settling out nicely. I can tell ...

This weekend I pulled the front springs out to make way for the "new" drag springs I bought a couple years ago. I took the lower control arm off the driver's side, but can't get the one off the passenger's side without pulling the header down, so forget that. I noticed that the lower arms ...

Camaro Bob's Camaro Update

After some time, and a lot of Camaro's under his belt, Bob has begun doing some serious work again on his car. Our last update showed him putting a split bumper front end on his '77.

Here's the thing with Gardner: he does good work, just make sure you get a price from him BEFORE he does the work. He surprised me with a pretty big bill on the Caddy heads when he was done.
