  1. Hood stripes look great, did you have any problem putting them on. I hope you finish it as it looking good.
  2. Absolutely sinister looking ride!!
  3. Great looking LX, the streets are loaded with these Fox bodies with similar mods.
  4. I have never seen any ads I deem objectionable but I have not seen anyone mention the you can tell google that you don't want see that ad. There is usually somewhere in the ad a icon?to stop seeing that ad. Ads by Stop seeing this adWhy this ad?
  5. Looks great James.
  6. I think the categories are fine maybe a little tweaking her and there. I'd limit the number of pictures per post as I don't really need to see a picture of every paint, paint brush, glue etc used during the build. I try to view posts from all types of builders elite or newbie as you can learn from everyone. The ads don't really bother me I just scroll past. I do miss seeing what country people are from. I want to thank the admins as they do a fantastic job.
  7. Off the top of my head 67 had door vent windows the 68 didn't 68 had side marker lights the 67 didn't 67 had round front turn signal lamps the 68's were more rectangular shaped the 68 rear turn/brake reverse lamps had a chrome bar between the red lenses and reverse lenses the 67 didn't on top of that you could order a Camaro with RS SS Z28 options, you could even get a front bench seat
  8. Our Parts manager filled his stock by computer which he set up to only stock anything if we sold it 4 times but if it was picked up in town at another dealer(which he didn't want to do it cost him 10 percent) it didn't count as sale as it didn't come out of our stock. He didn't like me as I told the Service manager and the owner about this, as we were tying up stalls waiting for parts and not getting other work out in a timely manner which the owner say was costing him money.
  9. Back in the late sixties we had a 58 or 59 Oldsmobile, it had a really neat speedo. If I remember correctly it had a clear tube and the faster you went the color in the tube changed.
  10. Steering wheel looks off center compared to the wheel, hubs and linkage. Just a guess.
  11. Some pictures from the track my Father in law operated.
  12. Having spent most of my working career in a Ford Dealership, what pissed me off was that the parts people that have any knowledge were put on the customer counter and the green ones were put on the tech counter. when I went to get any parts I had to tell them what the part numbers were or it would be hours till I got them. I don't know how many parts counter people I trained over the years lol.
  13. Those front wheels are in the AMT Piranha kit.
  14. Two Very Nice 67 Camaro's!!
  15. After 40 plus years as Ford mechanic I laugh at those pocket sized scan tools that will give a code and what part to replace. I wish I had a dollar for every time a customer wanted a part replaced and it didn't fix the problem, it usually turned out be wiring or something else, for example code said to replace a transmission shift solenoid but the band was broken. We tried to not use aftermarket parts as we found OEM fit and very seldom got defective parts.
  16. You knocked another out of the park
  17. During the late 70's we had a guy with a 67 GTX with a tilt front end and a very healthy 440 cruising the street. The following spring he showed up with a fully chromed engine, we only saw it out that one night as the chrome peeled off the internal surfaces and plugged the oil pump pickup and seized the engine and couldn't afford to repair it that year.
