  • At this stage, pretty much any week day can be a work day. The weekends are a little tough through the rest of the month. We're going to have our Hot Rod Magazine Camaro in the Chevrolet display in the Birmingham Triangle for the Woodward Dream Cruise this weekend, and the Berger All Chevy Show & our Club meeting is the following weekend.

    We'll try to pick an "official" weekend work day at the Club meeting. OK?

    • For exhaust, have you looked at Dr. Gas?

      They do a lot of the Nascar and IROC exhausts...might fit your vintage theme...

      • Jeff, thanks for the link. Definately worth looking into when we get to that stage. My main criteria are: Must have an "X" pipe, needs great ground clearance, and sound good without being too loud, especially inside the car.

          Dynatech now offer stainless steel exhaust systems. They have a x pipe. It's a 2.5 inch system, 3 inch will be out sometime this fall.

                I thought they might work for the Nascar/IROC boom tube side exhaust.

                I love the look of that...

                • Been a GREAT week for Project DZ74 !!!
                  Finally got the underbody done and today UPS delivered the new WHEELS

                  These are from a small company in California called Team 3 Wheels.
                  I am VERY impressed with their quality!!!
                  The back side of the barrel is polished as nicely as the front side. And they came with lug nuts and chrome valve stems.

                    • The wheels look awesome. Ray brought them over to the house tonight. The Project DZ74 is somewhat themed after the International Race of Champions Camaro race cars from the 1975 through the 1977 seasons. These wheels are 17 inch versions that look like the original Minilite wheels they used then. (Nearly every car, regardless of make, racing in the Trans Am series in the late 60's through the mid 70's ran Minilite wheels too.)

                      We also have the IROC front air dam for the bumper to further the IROC theme. We're hoping to have the Project on the road before winter.

                            • I would like to have it running and have a chance to get a few "shake down" runs on her before winter. And, at this stage, yes, we're planning to have it in Autorama
