Hi folks,
Just thought I'd say hello. I just discovered the place. It's nice to have a locally oriented forum available. I don't get out of the state much, so oftentimes a national forum like ChevyTalk or Hot Rod isn't so great for finding cruises and like-minded people.
My name is Dave. I'm 25 and from Whitehall. I'm married and living in Muskegon at the moment while I attend school in Grand Rapids, but my Camaro still lives in Whitehall in my parents' barn.
I'll try to post a picture, we'll see if I'm as smart as I think I am:
As you can see, she's a '68 convertible. She was Palomino Ivory with a white top when she entered the family in 1990. After a parking lot accident in 2001 she was treated to a Green Glow Metallic repaint and a black top. I retained the Ivy Gold interior.
Originally a 210 horse 327 backed with a Powerglide and a 2.73 open rear axle, my father and I hopped up the engine to near-L79 specs, swapped in a close-ratio Muncie, and had the rear gears changed to 3.42s (still open).
Eventually I would like to add front discs, a wide-ratio 4-speed, and a limited slip differential. I have a set of dog dish caps for the car and would like to obtain some 15x7 steelies to fit to her. Right now I swap back and forth between 15" Rallyes and 14" Cragar S/S.
If you're in Muskegon/Whitehall in the summer, you've probably seen her as I drive her a lot.
Right now I'm in the market for a rear-drive sedan or wagon (Chevy II would be cool, but I'm open to Falcons, Ramblers, Valiants, etc.) so I can take our brand-new daughter cruising with us. But don't worry, the Camaro was first and will stay forever.
See you around the forums,
Dave
