Between the weather, having different pieces off the truck, and a healthy static drop, I haven't had the bucket out and on the street in a while. The last time I had it out a month ago, she left me high and dry in Lowe's parking lot. I guess a small block really should be timed right, yes? After a bit of parking lot mechanics, I got her home. Uh..... my initial timing was a bit out. Try 18 degrees. Got that ironed out. So decide to take her out for a shakedown today....... and I know you guys and gal like pics so,
![]() ![]() Then I bought a used Vette steering wheel from Webrings, thank you!! Figured out that to mount these wheels in our trucks takes a 67-68 Camaro hub and horn mechanism. Painted the hub the same original color as the steering column and viola! Oh yeah, had my glovebox door pinstriped. Kyull67 knows a girl in Springfiled MO that is pinstriping and after seeing her work, I thought I'd give her a try. To say that I'm happy is an understatement!!!Thanks Kyle and THANKS Jill!! ![]() ![]() And because Asa is my hero, I'll give it a try....... ![]() I'm going to start carrying tools with me because the last time she died, I had zilch. So I bought an old Coke cooler and threw it in the bed. Gotta love the old school......... ![]() And to wrap this post up in true motorhead fashion; I took a drive around the local lake this afternoon and saw this. When's the last time you saw a '67 Camaro pulling a sailboat trailer. Yes she was rough, but all original and still ticking. I was going to pull my rig next to her and take a pic, but the old Camaro just looked good sitting by herself........ ![]() Everyone PLEASE have a safe season of trucking out there this year. Be careful and be safe and enjoy your classic!!!

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
Truck really looks good Doug, each little thing you do seems to give her a bit more character....I really dig the Coke cooler, and the Glove box is teriffic.
Always mean to ask you about your seat cover mate, are those covers a kinda style thing? I see them in a lot of classic rides over there.

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
yep, I needed a few of the "dead-on-the-side-of-the-road" tools like a distributor wrench and a new set of points, so I picked up the cooler. and don't worry, I put it in the cab when I leave the truck for very long! yes it could walk off very easy.
Nigel, the mexican blacket/sarape look is fairly popular over here. actually, it more popular with the rat rod guys. my seat is pretty trashed and in a pinch I just picked up 2 sarapes off of Ebay, got some hog rings, and I was gold. however, I have been thinking of going back bone stock, and that would be the ol' butt-burning vinyl.

Re: Out of Hibernation...... With Pics!
I love everything you have done recently!
The steering wheel is perfect! And the pinstriping is cool. I vote for stock seat upholstery. I want to put my 69 bench seat back stock also.

3ontree,
Your Camaro is perfect. But a big receiver hitch poking through the roll pan would set it off!!! ![]()
