I'd like to see what that '68 could do too Randy!

Randy, you work too much come out tonight we'll be there!

KMSRS2SS · 04-19-2012, 07:48 AM

Well things didn't go too hot yesterday. Right now we know at least the output shaft snapped. Sheared completly off and left the driveshaft hanging. I guess the car is hooking too good now and we found the weak link. I probably should have changed that out a long time ago with the stories I've heard of early vins breaking those parts on stock power. I just hope the trans is ok, we'll know more once it's on the lift and work starts on it.

Sorry about the bad break (pun intended) yesterday buddy. I feel guilty saying it...but I had a good time getting some runs in for the first time with the ABM.

In the end, it always hurts to see a Camaro bleed...

Not even the turnicate T-shirt was enough to stop the hemorrhaging.

Tough break, hope we get to see this black beauty back on the road in July at Superfest!

KMSRS2SS · 04-24-2012, 08:34 AM

The trans was dropped off yesterday, and I expect about 6 weeks on that. Once it's done I can have it back in within a few hours. I'm hoping it will be done before the Fbody meet and greet at Bakers. One of my favorite shows of the year.

DandD · 04-24-2012, 09:55 AM

Well I hope to see you and your car at the Fbody show at Bakers, good luck with it and keep us updated.

Finally have her back! Didn't make Bakers (at least not with the car but I showed up to hang out with the club for a little bit) but got the trans in last night and got her home finally.

How is it working. That tranny feel better? Are you back to normal?
Good seeing you at MiFBody Saturday -- It was nice of you to bring the water.

KMSRS2SS · 06-12-2012, 01:47 PM

It was good seeing you too! Those new rims are really looking sharp. Honestly the trans feels exactly the same, and I think it should. I only had 8500 miles on the trans when the output shaft went so the gears were pratically brand new so I wouldn't really expect it to feel any different. But it looks like that was the only damage caused, the car is running really good. I haven't power shifted or launched yet...i'll have to wait until my "oh shit" account is on the positive side. It is meant for 90% street 10% strip and if I break it during the 10% and only get 10% street I might as well make a full time drag car.
