Going to have some Decals made up, have to wait till after dyno to get real numbers.

I am also going to have a large decal made and applied to an aluminum plate. Then mount it on the underside of the hood to cover the upside down ZL1, as my hood is flipped. (do not know why it bugs me so much!)

Hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving!!!

Sorry, for the delay. Been fighting one of the worst migraines of my life, my medicine did not work had to take something stronger... Been a month still fighting it...

I am glad that you are OK! I know how scary that can be. My sister has had it happen to her 3 times, it is a struggle for her to get her speach back.

I agree the black one does look better to my wife and myself to! Thanks for the input!

I've spent the last couple days reading through your thread. This has been a very impressive build to see come together. Great work and excited to see where you land power wise on the new build. Hope you get to feeling better soon and have a Merry Christmas!

Hello,

Thank You! It has been a struggle to get it done. Wife and I are looking forward to taking it to ETCA Arkansa miles this July to finally see if I can meet my goal of 220mph. I have to get a new harness and a few other things. And all my appearal, helmet, suit, glove and shoes.
I was also thinking of adding this auto fire extingusher from BlazeCut their “T” Series System for under the hood. I think it will fit nicely on the front of the strut support bar. Merry Christmas to you and all my friends here on the Camaro5 Forums!

Thank you Vicster! I still have a bit of "memory fog" if you will at times. I hope your sister can recover from that. You are spot that it's scary!
Sorry to hear you have been dealing with migraines. My wife had a bad run with migraines for a few years and they take a major toll on you. Thankfully the medicine worked for her.

I've been too busy with work to do anything but work. started this new project contracting to the Ukrainians which put all my car projects on hold till it's done. sucks but without $ there are 0 projects....need to figure out how to make $ without the work part ha!

Just found out from my neighbor and friend that the XXX Rootbeer drive in has closed, after being open for 55 years. The couple retired and I guess their kids did not want to keep it going.

So that means no All Camaro show.... So I will not get to knock their socks off this year.

Bought my ticket to the Arkansas standing mile race for this July. So will need to get car finished and get a trailer. Will buy my safety gear just before going.

Oh cool! I've thought about going to that event several times but never made it. That will be quite the haul for you as well!

I have been wanting to run the mile since 2016, when I finished modding my first ZL1. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well and my wife and I make it there and back with no issues.
A 5th gen Camaro went 245mph last year, I think it was stripped and set up as race only.
When we get back I will probibly sell the race seat and some other items to put it back into daily driver mode.
I may take it out on some track days and run the 1/4 mile for fun. Some friends of mine are thinking of doing a familty day this summer, where we can all get together and bring our familys for a BBQ at the track.

The car is in storage mode right now, started it up a couple days ago and let it warm up. My wife just about jumped out of her skin. I forgot what a monster it is now!!!

It would be awsome if you could make it down at least to watch and say Hello. I have been talking to allot of people here on the forums and never got to meet any of them.
I am hoping to meet up with Fast-Nuf this summer after getting the car dyno'd. I hope to go to a Portland car show.
