pops got a new toy...

My dad has fixed up/restored many many chevy muscle cars in his day. Now he is losing his mobility due to major back problems. Normally he buys a rust bucket and restores cars so this caught me off gaurd. I can understand tho since he can't really do the work anymore. Check it out. Does 10.2 in the 1/4 it's a n/a 383 stroker. The body isn't perfect but it's meant to go not for show...

The pics aren't the best cuz they are from my phone and it's hard to see in the garage but he wouldn't pull it out cuz the weather is shitty right now...I can't wait to go for a ride in it...

yea i like it too, it sounds mean as hell...hits 100mph in the 1/8th! All he did was drive it home and he said he tried to do a burnout but it just squatted and shot off. It's whole suspension is setup for drag racing. I don't know if he will go as far as york but if you are in harrisburg and see him give him a rev, i bet you $20 he does a burnout or jumps on it or something...

Here is the last car he did a complete resto on. It was done about 7-8 years ago...

yea man i sat in that thing and they are hard as a rock and make you sit at 90 degrees, my fuckin head hits the roof. and theres no headliner so it's pretty uncomfortable. I will let him know to get rid of those.

Yea he did everything, body paint interior motor. The only thing he didn't do was rebuild the rock crusher and put the bushings in the control arms. He got the tools to do the bushings now so he won't have to take em to the shop anymore...

:worship::sarge:What can i say, old guys know their shit! Yes this car was converted to a camaro from a bird. Don't know why but it was. has no real value of a preserved muscle car. It's just made for the track...sharp eye man...
