Does your wife have any single sisters?  Ha Ha


She is a rare one and I looked a long time to fine a girl like her.   But it ain't all boost and tire smoke.   When we bought that '68 Camaro it was supposed to be my ALOHA BOBBY and ROSE tribute project and I built the blown 406 for my '66 tube axle Mustang.  One day she said "That Camaro is too mice to cut up.  Why don't you put the 6-71 in it and convert it to an automatic and give it to me."   I know most guys are told that there's no money for their toys.  Around here it's "my car needs a new engine more than your car."   and I wouldn't change a thing.  She offered to sell her Dodge to finance something I want but it's possible she knows I'd hate to see that car leave.

Man you don't hear that name every day. That movie was, for me, the beginning of a 50 year love affair with the gen 1 Camaro. Very well played, Sir.

Same thing here.  I saw the movie in July of '75 and by September I had a '67 that was going to be my tribute car.  I didn't have the space or funds to make it happen though.  I had been doing Corvette repair for about a year and a half by then and had the skills to make the flares in fiberglass which was the plan.  I did flare a '69 Z-28 for a friend at that time.  Just did the rears but it looks badass.

Now I can make the flares in metal which is the plan.  After taking my '68, my wife found what appears to be a legit '68 Z to replace the green one.  It's a CA/AZ car with very little rot but it's been kicked around a bit so I've got a lot of extra work but I ain't complaining
