Re: New 64 Stepper Project
So I'm out yesterday cleaning my tires and this guy drives up in a medium blue Z28 1969 Camaro with white stripes and says he wants to trade my truck for his car. I looked at his car and it wasn't as nice. A few things wrong, too loud, console was worn, dash was cut (radio), wrong hoses in engine compartment, A-arms and frame took like they were painted with a corn broom, very dirty engine compartment. He swears it's a numbers matching car but I'll have to pass on this one. Looked like this one:

Damn if i am honest, that would be a tough one. I will say this though, if it is a numbers matching "69 Z28 and it is in running condition, ya not sure i would not have pulled the trigger on this, if i am completely honest. The value of that particular Camaro.... ya i think i would do it depending on it numbers match and not a complete rust bucket.

No matter what, your truck is awesome!

Thank you 88Stanger. I'm kind of picky so it needs to be in better condition than that one. I'd be spending even more money just to that one in shape as I would like it. So it's a win for me. Heck we both win he has the Z/28.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
That was a good choice. You need to keep the truck and enjoy winning awards.

Today my task was to cut 1/4 spring off the front springs. I Love It!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
I have always felt kind of dumb scheming up ways to lower my truck half an inch more. Now I feel better knowing that I am not the only one.

I said screw it, I can always fix it latter. But I'm happy with it now.
