New Guy from Warren County
 
Hey everyone. Been lurking here for a few months now and wanted to drop a line to say hi. I have a restored 67 Camaro that I'm SLOWLY converting into a Pro Touring car. I'm looking forward to getting help from the more experienced veterans.

I grew up in Morris County, Landing, so we should have just switched houses.

Some current pics attached.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. :bow:

My near future goals are to replace the marshmallow body mounts with delum, install some tubular A arms, new spindles and disc brakes at all four corners, followed by some new shoes.

I currently have a rebuilt 327 bored .030 over with a thumper cam, performer manifold, Holley 650 CFM, with Headman headers, running through a powerglide to a 10 bolt. I think I'm getting close enough with HP to detonate the 10 bold so..... in the distant future I'd like to replace the 327 with and LS series, 5 speed, and Strange rear. Then again at the rate gas is climbing I'm sure someone in the restomod field will develop an electric for our toys. I guess it will sound like we're racing Dewalt's finest.

BonzoHansen 07-22-2008 08:20 AM

GW solid body mounts are nice (however not delrin). I've got those & GW del-a-lum LCA bushings in the 77.

The Fixer 07-22-2008 09:35 AM

Welcome aboard, beautiful car you have there! Sounds like you're off to a great start.

Gents - Once again thanks for the warm welcome. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before I start picking your brains for some how too's and become a PITA. :toast:

I posted for the car of the month and you guys have some nice rides too so I can see this isn't gonna be easy. If you happen to find yourself at the F body nationals at Island Dragwagy please say hi and drop a vote for my car. The new guy wants the world.
