Thanks mike for the help with you and my 13 year old son I think I got it.Still have a littlle trouble with the size of some of the pictures some were takin with my buddies camera...

Dave, Your welcome and I`m glad you figured it out. It took me a while too. Here is some pictures of my 69 prostreet. I have had this car for 27 years and it has went thru many stages. It was a daily driver for 10 years before I turned it into a prostreet car.I paid 1800.00 for it in 1981. It was a 307, powerglide, 10 bolt, A/C car. I wish I had A/C now. Some pictures are older and some are newer. As you guys say we never stop working on them.

Nice ride :thumbsup:

Nice looking car Jeff I think the Pro-Street guys are gonna come out of the woodwork now that theres a PS forum but where is it......I cant find it....

I can't believe that there are only 4 different Pro Streets in this thread:eek:.I expected that there would have been more people wanting to show off their nice rides by now:yes:.Come on folks,let's see some killer Pro Street Camaro's.

I second that and they don't have to be just Camaro's it can be a Gremlin long as it has fat tire and big power or for that matter it can be a 4 cylinder....I was watching the 07 SEMA clips and there was a for cylinder going 7 flats....

Checked out the User List.There are numerous "pro street" user names and posting activity ranges from a high total of 780(Mike aka prostreet69camaro) to several with 0 posting activity. I wonder where they all are?

They might come back if they here theres a PS forum.I covered my panel that is made of ABS plastic with 1/8" foam and Black twead to match the panels I made for the trunk.My trunk is finished now I'm moving to the interior this week.

You're makin' progress Dave:thumbsup:

Lets see some finished pictures.

Nice rides guys... Here's mine. I don't have any great pictures. I've posted these before. The car isn't completed yet but I should have it finished up this spring. And, NO, it's not (never was) a real Z11. Most of the specs are in my sig. I've replaced the upper arms with tubular units since that last picrture was taken.

Matt, you might want to make your pictures a little smaller. That way no one has to arrow over to read the messages.

That was the hardest part to figure out but with the help of a 13 year old I got it.Keeps posting may be the PS forum letters might get larger the more the PS people post...lol...

Wow! 706 CI :D:thumbsup:

I wanted to stuff a 5.500" crank in it over the winter but I would have had to go back to Groden rods and I dont have 10 runs on the ones in it now. Not to mention the price of a crank goes nuts after 5.300"

Thomas this looks like a wild ride it leaves pretty hard what kind of 60 foot are you gettin.

well Today I put the motor and trans in the car and went to put the fender and head panel on but no luck missing the two clips for the headlight bazel. Also I recieved the wrong one when it was purchases three years about its for a 69 not a 67 wld u still put it on?

The fastest 60 foot for me was a 1.42 130mph 10.34 et do you run 1/4 or 1/8 hows your et is it fast enough or do you want to go faster...Some people can never go fast enough I was happy with 10's in a all steel 70 Nova....

I run 1/8. 4.90s. I dont run the 1/4. I dont have that much of an attention span.

David, Your car is looking great. I bet you cant wait to drive it. I like your valve covers. It looks better with the spark plugs attached to the valve covers. Have you thought about running your spark plug wires under the headers. That is what I did but I have burnt a couple of wires. I just found some red wire protectors that I am going to put on my wires and see how that works.

go with the afterone

Dave -- car is looking good -- looks like you'll be ready for Ocean City !

How did you run them under the headers I had a hard time getting them the way they are.If I would have ran them from new with these valve covers it probably would have been easier.They were already cut to lenght so it is what it is.It had to be pretty hard to get them under the headers I bet....

Dave -- car is looking good -- looks like you'll be ready for Ocean City !
Thanks Doug,I hope it will be ready its starting to make me nervous...

I ran them behind the heads and used ty-raps to hold them together. They are seperated like the nascar guys do. Then cut them to fit and away from the headers.

Drivers side and all you see is the valve covers. Also makes removing the valve cover easy.

Here's a pic of one of my cars that I keep having an on again off again love affair with. This is a recent shot of it heading back to storage. I figured my other 67 would be a little more family freindly to build.

Ray,
Looks like decent project,how long have you been working on it? Is it going on the street.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w123/67z28/1005.jpg

That's gonna be one nice ride:yes:.

I've actually owned the car for a few years, but I've had two children in that time that put everything on hold. So a while back I decided to get back on it since the kids are 3 1/2 and 2 now (a little more free time). I've gotten alot done to the car, but both kids enjoy being around racing and car shows so I figured I needed to change directions and build my other Camaro so the family can enjoy going together. So this car is gonna go into storage again :( or I may sell it to make some space for now. Thanks for the comment.

My Camaro(s) are not big tire cars but I have this:

My buddy just got a 69 Pro Street which allegedly has almost a 1000hp. We drug it home last weekend. Hopefully I'll get some pics in the next couple of days. A little rough around the edges, but if it iruns as good as it sounds watch out :D

If it's a Chevy and Pro Street that's all that matters!! Your Chevelle looks awesome :yes:.Post some pics of your friends 69 and while your at it,if he's not familiar with this site let him know about it.

that looks good!

Looking at the size of the pullys on the crank and blower you are gonna be driving the blower pretty hard :beers:.

Thanks for the compliments on my ride :cool:

So I got over to my buddy's today and we got the 69 Fired up with the new fuel pump. Brought along my Camera:

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r167/jwamod/Z28/HPIM0547a.jpg


Took it for a spin. This 69 is a MONSTER. I have ridden in fast blower cars and this girl put those things to shame. I am beginning to believe the past owner wasn't joshing about the 996hp on the dyno :eek: Unfortunately on the second trip out we dropped the belt on the water pump. Got her shut down before she broke anything (did spill some coolant). Cell phones are great thing to have and our "pit truck" was on scene quickly. :) I took these next 2 pics while we waited:

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r167/jwamod/Z28/HPIM0549.jpg



While fiddling with my dig camera I tried the vid option. The following is what I got but the car's sound overpowered the mike so the audio sucked:

As quick as this car is there is also a dual stage nitrous setup. I think my buddy is gonna have to break out the bowling ball bag size cajones to work that into a run :D This is the first car that has ever put me back in the seat so violently that I unconsciously grabbed something to hold onto :eek: It got me fired up about mine now, I gotta get her on the road SOON.

Looks real nice what do you have left to finish...

Yeah I saw that:(.How long before you get a replacement fuel pump?

Yeah I saw that:(.How long before you get a replacement fuel pump?

Thursday $270 for a 275 Magnafuel what do you think of them....

I personally have not dealt with a Magnafuel pump but know people that have and they are satisfied with them.

I am running a Aerospace Components fuel pump on my blower motor. It is the Ultra 350 Fuel Pump. I had problems with there fuel pump regulators. I went thru 2 of them and ended up with a Product Engineering 4 port regulator.

On my 406 that I had before the 502 I ran a BG hotrod 220 pump. But after about 5 years it started leaking. I had it rebuilt then a few years later it started leaking again. It is sitting in the garage. Hell I replaced it with a holley blue pump and could not tell the difference between the 2 pumps. 75 bucks compared to 300 bucks. Go figure.

Thanks for the welcome, Dave and David. I still have to finish installing all the trim. I have a billet (non RS) grill and a little detail work still to do.

Hey Dave.........:thumbsup::thumbsup::D

Those hinges look supurb Dave , as does the rest of the car , which I've commented on previously.

Very tastefully done Dave:thumbsup:

There are quite a few others here on the pro street forum that are very nice as well. I've alway's liked the pro street look and probably alway's will. I never get tired of looking at them.:beers:

Dave -- lookin' good and lookin' forward to seeing that car in person in OC -- since it looks like you've been working hard, I'll buy you a beer :beers::beers:

Dave, How did the hood hinges fit. I have the DSE ones on the other 69 and I had some problems with them hitting the fender wells. Also when you shut the hood they hit the top of the firewall.

I got the Fesler,I think you might have the Ring Bros. I had no issues fit well...

I've only been here a short time, but I've already learned a lot from you guys, and I thank you. This is a great thread.

Here are a couple of pics of the motor in my '68. I still have a few things to do, such as wire looms, etc.

Lookin' good Jerry:thumbsup:How big is that rat between the fenders?

Got the gauges picked out I think. Today I downloaded the ones I want off the net, sized em' to the specs on the site & printed the faces out on the printer. Then I cut some PVC gauge housings on the CNC. They are a little deeper than the actual gauges but that'll insure I have ample room for the real deals down the road. The 5" tach & speedometer might or might not work. Might have to downsize to the smaller ones, but I want to try & get these in there if possible. Old geezers need big numberz'. Now I can make a bezel. That outta' keep me busy for awhile.

Thanks Dave & Jerry.

Gary,
How much boost and horsepower are you lookin' to get from that "blow through" supercharger? I assume that the intercooler will also play a big role in the numbers as well,correct?

Haven't gotten that far yet. When the time comes to build the engine I plan to have Steve Morris do the building. I've been going by his suggestions as I buy parts to do the mock up. I don't mind freshening it up later on but since this is my first pro charger engine I think I'll let somebody with experience do the initial build. It'll have in the neighborhood of 1,500 hp.

Gary, 1500 hp is that enough I think you need more come on you can do better than that...LOL...My motor is around 500 hp but thats all I can afford after the other junk I put in this thing. I'm doing my exhaust and had to rebuild my trans cross member check it out my buddy said it looked like a seagull.

Cool Idea Dave, to get the exhaust tucked under the car.
I have a 7:50 cert on the chassis so I hope to run some respectable numbers. Time will tell.

Fastest I ever went was 10.40 135 and I was OK with that I dont think I could go that fast.Keep us posted on the progress.....

Hey Dave,

Looks like its coming together. So much fun. I see you are also working on the door panels. Also saw your reply to my post over in interiors. Add that piece of sheet metal to the bottom of the panel and you will be happier with the panels. At least they wont be waving at you.

I ordered the Billet Specialities rims and fixing to order the Baer brakes. Wife says I cant put new rims on unless I change the brakes. So I gotta do what she says. LOL

Your company hiring I need some of the money you spend. My pockets are getting low......

Mike,

I called Larry Hodge this morning to order the Billet Specialties wheels. He was very knowledgeable, and lucky for me, he knew the wheels would not clear my rear calipers. It seems the wheels have a 13 inch diameter "barrel" that will not clear the Wilwood calipers when using a 4.5 backspace wheel. Your calipers will be no prob, but if you ever replace them, you may want to be sure they will clear. He said the clearance problem was only with the Wilwood brakes, and that using a 3.5 inch backspace wheel would be possible. As my car is already built, I'm unable to use the 3.5.

I ordered the Mickey Thompson wheels from him.

Jerry

Jerry,

I never thought about the rims hitting the calipers. I thought since they were 11" rotors on the back there would be no issues. I guess when I change the back brakes I will find out. I was planning on mounting the tires on the rims when I get home. I may call Larry monday and talk to him about the calipers. Thanks for the info.

Mike

Mike,

Larry said the problem is unique to the Wilwood brakes. Other aftermarket calipers are not as "tall" as the Wilwood. I would have bought the Billet Specialties wheels if I didn't already have the Wilwoods. Basically, he said measure the radius from the center of the axle to the farthest part of the caliper. With the main "barrel" (as he referred) of the wheel being 13" diameter, the caliper clearance became an issue.

I just posted in case anyone (including yourself) was contemplating buying the wheels while already having the Wilwoods. Larry saved me a lot of hassle and probably money, as I would have mounted tires on the wheels before fitment.

I can't wait to see your Camaro with the new wheels!

Jerry

I ran into the same issues trying to get Wilwood calipers/brackets to fit my rims.

Got a pattern for the bezel set-up on the computer. I cut vinyl patters to tweak it 'til it fit. Cut a PVC blank for a final fit and now I'm cuttin' away on the aluminum bezel. I'm putting over sized (for this dash) gauges in it, so there's going to be some modifying to do to the fiberglass dash cover. The gauge bezel will be bolted to the chassis & the fiberglass cover will be removable for wiring access.

Nice work Gary :yes::thumbsup:.

Hi David,

I learned a lesson here...I sold my Centerlines to a friend before I knew of the issues with the Billet Specialties wheels not fitting my car. I'm sure I could get them back, but I'm ready for a change.

I really like the M/T "ET Drag" wheels, but, like Alumistar 2 wheels, the front and rear wheels differ in appearance, I would guess for structural integrity with the wide rear wheel.

Here are links to see the M/T wheels. I'll post pics of them on the car, hopefully on the 16th when I get back to Texas.

Got the bezel off the table. Now comes the task of bending it in the right places & at the correct angles to fit the dash.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/pro70z28/df067abb.jpg

Looks awesome Gary! :thumbsup:

Thanks Jerry

Gary, have you ever considered fabricating custom parts as a side business? Those billet hinges:cool: and now the billet bezel:cool::cool: are truly artwork :thumbsup:. :beers:

Thanks Dave. I'm too slow to make any money at it.:noway:

Gary, That gage bezel looks great. You do nice work even though you say you talk to long. That is why you are probably a perfectionist like me.

Jerry, I talked to Baers today and also Larry about the Baer brakes. Baer has a templet online that you can try inside the rim to see if it fits. I cut it out and tried it with no problems. So I am ordering the brakes. I got the back rims and tires. Still waiting on the front runners.

Glad that the wheels are going to work for you Mike. Those were by far my first choice. I hope you post pics.

Still not able to make the Centerville trip on May 3? I'm going to try to make that one. There will probably be 10-15 cars from here going. If I go I'll be in my '67 RS. No air = no wife.

DAVE- Do you have anymore pics of ur set up of the msd box and coil?

Matt I have this one but I was told that putting it in the engine bay was no good.The coil is mounted to the bracket for my vintage air the a fire wall feed thru....
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii15/davidcalligan/PICT0310.jpg

Why do they say that? My father's 69 has it in the engine bay.

They don't like the added heat. It can/has been done, but the chance of it overheating is greater.

MSD has an excellent tech line. The # is (915) 855-7123.

I've had cars with the MSD box mounted in the engine compartment (on the fenderwell), and never had any problems.

I seen prostreet had his in under his dash looked pretty good.

My 6AL ignition is mounted on the firewall just above the heater box and I have had no issues with heat soak at all.

Matt,

I responded to your answer in the other section. Also if you mount a plate under the dash you can add a extra fuse block, coil , and msd box on it. That is what I did. If you want a better picture let me know. I am going to a car show/race tomorrow.

what u mean an extra fuse block for them?

No. I needed some extra fuses for like the fans, line lock, fuel pump so I added a fuse block on the plate for them. There was enough room for the msd box, coil and fuse block.

My 6AL ignition is mounted on the firewall just above the heater box and I have had no issues with heat soak at all.

I've been trying to cram mine under the dash. Hard to do with A/C. I hadn't heard heat being a problem, most failures i've seen from those boxes was vibration. (I see you have the dampers its sitting on which is good)

I don't know that the 6A and smaller boxes are much of a problem. It's the 7A & larger that produce more heat.

Mike,

Did you ever receive your wheels?

Jerry,

Yes I got the wheels. I got the front runners saturday and I have the back tires also. I ordered the brakes and master cylinder. They should be here in 2 weeks. I go offshore in a week and when I get back I will be installing the brakes and tires. Then I will post some pictures. Stay tuned. I will email you some pictures.

Those wheels are next on my list after the engine returns from "The Clinic" which should be very soon. I'll bet they are gonna look awesome on your car Mike,especially with the addition of that billet grille.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/pro70z28/1ef12e26.jpg
I decided to make a section of the bezel to see how it bent in the brake. The pic. below doesn't show how bad it looked when I pulled it out. (I made some alterations on the brake & bent it a second time and it straightened out some). I flipped the last 5 fingers over so they would come up short of the edge. Then I made a roll edge by putting a radius on the edge of a 1/2" aluminum plate. I tried it that way for the first test that distorted the raised edges & the thin center caved in because there was no support.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/pro70z28/04c61b40.jpg
I had a pc. of c-channel laying around so I bolted it to the brake to make a wider edge. Then I put a couple bolts in the 1/2 aluminum plate so I could put the brake fingers right at the edge w/o it slipping off. Then I made a filler pc. out of aluminum to wedge under the 1/2 plate to support the machined out center area of the bezel. The second test pc. bent perfect. Got a few things to finish on the dash cover & then it's time to bend the real deal.

Looks like you've got it figured out Gary.Let us see the final product when you finish bending it.

I put the new wheels on my car yesterday. I have the Wilwoods with the drilled rotors for the front, should be on soon.

Jerry {Looking Good} how do you like them are you happy...Are they 15/15 or taller...How close is it till its on the road.I'm almost there still having trouble with my brakes,I think I have a leaking calipor..Need to maybe use a flash the pics are a little dark.

looking good!

Jerry,

Your rims look great. They look alot better than the old centerines you had. You need to call me so I can tell you how to put the bigger pictures on here. I am home till next tuesday. Also did you get the flier on the 3 day show at Lake Sommerville in june. I am going to it and if you can go I would like to meet you. You need to get the car ready.

I am waiting on my brakes and I also ordered some deluxe door panles to replace my standard door panels.

Jerry,
Your Mickey T. wheels look awesome :thumbsup:

Got 'er bent tonight. Got it roughed into the dash cover. Still rough but close enough that I know it will fit. The right wing is 1/2" longer than the left wing, so angles are different. I think I got it purdy' close though. Next is to cut the contour in the fiberglass for the oversized tach & speedo.
{that's a relief}

Thanks Dave.

Gary,

The dash looks great! You definitely have a lot of skill and patience! I couldn't even imagine attempting something like that, and you're making it look easy. Very cool

Thanks guys for the compliments on the wheels. I'm quite pleased with them, as the car finally starting to look like I want it to.

The rear wheels are 15 x 15 with M/T Sportsman Pros 33 x 21.5 x 15.

Mike, I'll try to make that show in June. My daughter is getting married that month, but I'm not sure of the date. I'll find out. I'm also probably going to go on the Houston / North Tx Camaro club get-together May 3 in Centerville. We've got around 15 1st gen Camaros signed up right now. I wish you could make it. I'll get with you on the photo posting. These will go to full screen if you click on them.

Dave, what type of caliper? Are they rebuildable?

Gary,

Hi....a little late but here's my 62' Corvette w/ an 8-71 BDS blown 502 Big Block.

That is a real nice Vette did you build it.....

Pete,
You have my dream car! Superb!

Pete,
Very nice vette. Is it a street car or race car. It looks like it has no mufflers.

Hey thanks guys...got a little busy with work. Vette was pro streeted in the late 80's by John's Racecraft of Brockton Ma. when I worked there. Started life as a street car with a blown small block, it was then converted over to a drag car with the 502 big block with alum heads and a 1050 dominator. Best ET was a 10.97 at 127mph around 7 years ago. Racing got too expensive and decided to convert it back to the street. Haven't got it out yet that's why there's no mufflers yet. This is the big brother of my 69' Z that I purchased 2 years ago.

Hi....a little late but here's my 62' Corvette w/ an 8-71 BDS blown 502 Big Block.

Absolutely awesome Pete.:yes: Very nice:thumbsup::thumbsup:

:yes: Cool Vette :yes::hurray:

Got a little further on the dash today. I made plugs out of PVC to form the gauge wells, since these gauges are too big for the original bezel opening.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/pro70z28/Dash14-19-08.jpg
I did the kitty hair "form the bezel to the dash deal" again. Used vinyl & spray Pam as a release agent.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/pro70z28/Dash24-19-08.jpg
One last big hurtle for me. TIG welding on the bezel w/o ruining it. I welded some strap aluminum to the top & bottom to stiffen up the bezel & to provide a place for rubber mounting grommets.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/pro70z28/Dash34-19-08.jpg
Got the bezel just setting in place. It's being held in by the dash bar. Close enough to see what it'll look like.

Lookin good, Awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I installed the billet grille today. I wanted to be a little different. The line hanging down is for the trans cooler (not yet installed). It will have a factory front spoiler, no front bumper.

Gary, thats some fine work your doing keep it up.

Jerry,looks like your getting close when you think.

I'm finally finished just need a front end alignment and some fine tuning on the motor.I got the interior totally done,electric choke wired and hooked up this is a nice option for me I'm not to mechanically inclined when it comes to motors.I also need a air cleaner I took play doe and put it on top of the carb cover and closed the hood,I have 3" or so from the base to the hood does any one know if theres a air cleaner that work I cant use a drop base because of the regulator and the linkage any help would be appreciate did the door panels the way mike said and they turned out great I'm going to do a forum in his behalf with some pics.Thanks Mike for the info.....

Jerry,

Your grill looks killer and I also like the rims. I am still waiting on my back brakes and then will do my brakes and rims. Should be here in a couple weeks. Did Larry send you a email to send him a picture of your car to put on his website?

Dave,

Thanks for the compliment and I am glad it worked on your door panels. I have seen too many door panels that are wavy at the bottom and the metal helps to support the bottom.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, everyone.

Gary,

Thanks for sharing the dash build-up with us. I now appreciate the planning and work that is involved with a "project within a project" such as that.

It's outstanding!!!

Mike,

I'll forward some pics to Larry. You're going to send some of yours, too? Keep me posted on the event in June (?). I should have the car ready by then. Thanks

Dave,

I took another look at the photo albums of your '69. That is a super nice car! The attention to detail is remarkable. I wish I had half the skill as you guys!

There are manufacturers of low profile air cleaner assemblies, or look at K & N filter elements. Sometimes you can find an element that will reduce the overall height of the cleaner. Try Billet Specialties for low profile assemblies. good luck

Latest pics need to buff a little more but its close... Do you think it sits to high I had to raise it for the exhaust....

Your '69 looks awesome, David! I think it sits just right. Hugger Orange is very cool on that year. You're there!

Yes I think it looks great. Has the right stance. Yes you could lower it but then you will have more problems. Leave it where it is.

Thanks for the input I think it might grow on me.

My buddy made me a couple new brake peddles I ruined the one I bought from Lokar I was trying to shorten it.I was going to weld it or at least I tried to,sand and polish it and cut it in two and weld it back together not to good at welding aluminum though so that was out.Heres some pictures of what he did,I should have just got him to make it for me from the start.

Thanks guys, around 4 mpg if i go real steady! still trying to get cruise afr above 11.5

Very cool Camaro Andrew...and it takes care of business!:thumbsup:

Is it right hand drive?

$10 a gallon!? Mike, you better run a pipeline directly over there!

Nah still lhd, trying to sort some steering issues on other thread,may try EPS column!
$10 is for pump super unleaded. c16 around $44 + nitrous at $11 per lb ,a weekends fun comes dear.

Thanks for the input I think it might grow on me.

My buddy made me a couple new brake peddles I ruined the one I bought from Lokar I was trying to shorten it.I was going to weld it or at least I tried to,sand and polish it and cut it in two and weld it back together not to good at welding aluminum though so that was out.Heres some pictures of what he did,I should have just got him to make it for me from the start.

Nice machine work. :yes:

I installed the new Wilwood front brakes. The brakes are the 10.75 rotors with the dynalite calipers.

Jerry,

The tires, wheels and brakes look good. I like the open wheels where you can see the brakes.

Thanks, Mike. Hey, there's no stopping me now! uh...so to speak.

Did you send any pics of your Camaro to Larry Hodge? I know he'd be proud to have yours on his website!

Jerry,

Yes I sent him some pictures and I also saw your car on there.

Pushed the "Z" outside to clean the shop today. BUT, this time I didn't have to kick the front tires to keep it str8. I used the STEERING WHEEL. WooHoo.


BTW: I had a weak moment today. There is some spy footage in the link below. Make sure you turn up the volume before you click on the link. This doesn't happen often in the "Z" shop, so don't miss it. :yes:

I set the front end on today for a look see. Looks like I've got some work ahead of me.......don't fit so good LOL

I think I better build the firewall first so I've got somethin' solid to work with

I like the old muscelcar/ nostalgia look (like your Camaro, those make killer pro street cars!) but IMO the vette still looks pretty sweet, and it's going to be flat wicked fast :yes:

Sean,
Wow!!!That's an impressive 'Vette:yes::thumbsup::thumbsup:.The skulls in the tribal flames are perfect for that car 'cuz it's gonna kill the competition!!!

:thumbsup: :beers:
The paint is pretty amazing actually, the blue is so sweet in the sun (not sure what color it is?) and the flames/ skulls really look good. It's funny because my buddy is not exactly a "flames and skulls" guy, but it really fits the car, pretty wicked. The guy who built the car did a hell of a job for sure :thumbsup:
I hope we can help it hold up it's image and make it haul!

Mike,
Your '69 looks great on Larry Hodge's website!

www.larryhodgeracing.com

Thanks Jerry, apprecaiate it. So does yours. I have a friend looking to buy a grill like yours. I sent him all the info and your pictures.

Mike,
I wish I would have known that you had those disc brakes for sale:yes:. I would have bought them!!

Which ones were you looking for. Front or Back. I sold the back ford 9" disc on ebay and the front today.

Front discs.

Mike,
How was Lake Summerville?

David,

The show was nice, a little hot but we had a 20 mph breeze on the lake. I wanted to meet Jerry ( rat3j396 ) but he didnt make it to the show. I did meet another TC member there ( gotsnappy ) Rusty. I am going to College Station next weekend for the Bluebonnet Rod Run. It should be a good show. Here is some more pictures from the show.

Mike,
How was College Station and the Bluebonnet Rod Run?

Just got back from the show. It was great. A little hot as usual. It was 104 today. Luckily I had my EZ UP and a little bit of a breeze. I won the muscle car class even though I dont consider my car a muscle car. They did not have a prostreet class and it was judged from peoples choice. My friend with the 34 coupe won the Mayors choice and my other friend in the red 67 camaro won the camaro class.

Jerry,
How's that 68 Camaro(and you) doing? Haven't heard form you in a while.

Jerry,

I took it to a local cruise-in a couple weeks ago, but had to trailer it because I wasn't through with the wiring and a few other small things (no insurance).

I will drive it this Saturday to the Christian Classic Cruisers show in the north D/FW area. It's about 30 miles one way, so I'll see how roadworthy it is (insured :thumbsup:). They usually have around 250 - 300 cars there.

I still need to change out this Powerglide. The 5000 stall convertor isn't going to work with this motor very well. I have a TH400 with a 3000 stall convertor, but I may just go with a 700R from Phoenix Transmissions. Any opinions on that?

I have a TH400 in my Camaro and I like it. The 700R is also a good trans for cruisin'(overdrive). Never dealt with one but I think you would be looking at having to either modify your shifter or purchase another one for the 700R,not sure about that.

Since there were a couple of other posts that show pro street cars that weren't Camaros, I thought I's post a few shots of my old pro street Nova

Doug,
Nothing wrong with a Pro Street Nova in this forum :noway::D That was a very nice 70 Nova Pro Street that you formerly owned:thumbsup:. If you have more photo's of it please post them so we can see them :yes:

Jerry,

I would not use the 700r4 transmission. It will not hold up behind that blower motor. I have several friends who have tried them with no luck and spent big bucks. My buddy also bought one from Bowtie Overdrives and it didnt last behind a 383. I would go with a turbo 400. That is what I have and have had no problems. I did buy a high dollar convertor for it, Its either a Coan or Hughes and a 2500 stall. Works great with a 389 gear and 33 inch tall tires. I love it on the highway now. I used to have 513 gears in it. I can go 3000 rpm and cruise @ 75/80 mph.

Mike,

Thanks for the input. I have a fresh TH400 with a 3000 stall Art Carr convertor. I guess I should at least use it since I have it. Another friend suggested the TH400 and a Gear Vendors overdrive. He had one in a 70 Judge, and he said that's the way to go. Too bad they're about $3k.

I'll use the powerglide this weekend and swap the TH400 in next week. I have 4.56 gears, but with the 33 inch tall tire it brings it down a bit. Right now the car is at 3000 rpm at around 60 mph.

Jerry

Awesome Nova Doug!!!

Awesome Nova Doug!!!

Yeah Doug, very nice!!!!

Thanks guys -- every now and then I wish I still had it

why u get rid of it?

why u get rid of it?

I wanted to build another 69 Camaro -- and one that was more of a driver where I could feel confident that I could drive it to Ocean City and back -- the Nova ran great, but those big meats on the back and a long highway drive didn't thrill me :noway:

Trust me I know the feeling. I have been thinking that for a long time. Just have to keep the 67 and build sometihng else lol.

I need to run into town and get some more towels to wipe the drool out of my keyboard. Those are some nice rides. Later.

JJ,Keep us posted on the progress allways nice to hear from another PS guy.I put some paint on the car this weekend will be putting the stuff on this week driving the car with no mastercylinder is still not a good idea.....

OK,My car is back to where it was in May just need some minor stuff now should be driving next week.....Will post some pics of the painted grill later...

:hurray:Sounds good Dave. Post pics when you can:yes:.

Looks great Dave!! When the area surrounding the center of the grille is painted the body color it seems to add more depth to the front end. Unpainted tends to give it a flatter look. Trust me,you'll be glad you painted that grille:yes:

O.K. guys, I've been lurking here for a while and am getting the P/S bug. I'm thinking my next project will go this direction but there will be quite the learning curve for me. Anyway, here's a pic I took at Carlisle a few years ago. Fell in love with the car AND the paint job.

I have a question how long does your post stay in the forum before it leaves and where does it go.....

They don't go anywhere. The list of threads is determined by your user settings that give a time frame on how far back to list. In userCP you can change the setting on how far back to look. You can also look farther back by using the settings at the bottom of each main forum page. Also in UserCP you can look back 300 of your own posts on your subscription list too.

Great lookin Pro-Street Milan,I say keep Pro-Street alive my 14 yr old son and I are he's starting a 70 Chevelle.

Milan,

Nice car. Are you anywhere near Hamilton Ohio. I went to Goodguys in Columbus in june. Alot of nice cars in Ohio.

Thanks for the positive comments. The car is primarily for racing but occasionally makes it to the cruise in. Its no where near as nice as most of the cars I have seen posted here. I am currently trying to get insurance on it as I was recenly dropped my State Farm because of the "modifications". There are not too many cruise-ins near by. I live near lake erie on the north end of the state and the car has a 5 gallon fuel cell and it goes through ethanol way too fast ;-).

Time for a larger fuel cell. What kind of numbers does your Camaro run? You might want to check with a few of the specialty insurance places they don't mind if you have a blower, roll cage, etc...

I have my insurance with Haggerty. Do problems with the modifications.

Mike,
I have insurance with a company called Classic Automobile Insurance Inc. my yearly premium is just over $450 a year. At the time I was ready to insure my car, Haggerty would not insure Pro Street vehicles:(. Would Haggerty be competetive in pricing compared to my company?

I just applied for a quote from Classic Auto insurance. I was quoted 250 a year for an agreed to, $25K value. 1969ProStreetCamaro, I trust the value of you car is much more.(?)

http://www.classicins.com/Default.aspx

Is this the same company?

Milan

I have my car insured for 50K and it is a little over $700.00 a year. I have modified insurance with the roll bar and blower motor. I had to sign a clause that I would not race it. My deal is if I race it and something happens then I will fix it.

I just talked to my insurance guy and he said Haggerty was insuring cars without pictures and you tell them how much you wanted to insure it for. I had to send pictures but that was 3 years ago.

I had it insured for 25k and it was $320.00 a year but it wasnt with Haggerty. I think they are all going to be pretty competitive.

The problem is we have to get modified insurance.

I was asked if the car was modified in the questionairre. Either way I am looking forward to getting this beast on the road.... legally

Yes,
It's the same company. I 've got an agreed policy with them for $45K. It's basically the same provisions as prostreet69camaro's policy. It's not covered when it's on the track(which isn't very often) so any repairs due to an on track incident would be my responsibility.

..........:thumbsup:.The boys in blue will appreciate that:yes:.Proof of insurance is a good thing:D:yes:.

Ist't it crazy that you are better off holding up a 7-Eleven that driving without insurance on even ONE of your vehicles...

Oh well
