It's June 9th, and Pat is buying his 460 horse power 383 crate motor today! as well as a nicely equipped TKO 5 speed manual transmission!
We elected (The) Scott Jones to do the build on the car only after not being able to have our good friend/family member Scott Stevenson do the build. Scott has graciously agreed to take on the Camaro project before he starts his next car build for Reggie Jackson! (reggie bought a 1970 Chevelle convertable - 1 of 26 made)
We will update with photos on July 12th when the car (Jean) gets delivered to Scott to start the build!
Mr. Patrick Schneider (the lucky-bitch-owner) and myself will be driving this gas slogging beast across "Amerika" in October of this year ('08). Pat Appointed me to find him his "California Girl" for his 40th birthday (june 29th), so after months of looking, I found the perfect gal, and she's a Cali local!
She's grey with rootbeer hilites and in VERY good condition. All new under carriage, suspension (which will be updated) and a very clean find for the budget at hand.
"Jean" is also getting some air-conditioning, After-market seats (due to sore-ass syndrome driving anything across Amerika), a 6 gauge cluster in replacement of the original gauges to help monitor all the juicy functions; as well, a juicy discretely
mounted audio system that will have the front-end of the head unit (stereo face) that looks like its 40 years old! (with modern insides) --- so while we're driving down the long highways of nevada we can also blast the song "godzilla" and the like.
