Hi all. Joined up here to check out local Fbod events. I recognize a few people already from other forums. I'm in the military, but retiring soon and my wife is making me stay in Berlin. So, I figure I might as well settle in and get to know people. Good news is I have a 900 sq ft shop at our new house so I'm happy and can screw around with the cars. Here are the f bodies...

Nothing I have is terribly fast anymore. I had to take a break from racing, was breaking stuff faster than I could afford to fix it. Hope that can change soon.
The 67 has a 468, T56, 4link coil overs and some decent brakes.
The 98 is a car I rescued from the crusher. Just putting it back together with stuff I have laying around the house. I still need a hood and a fender, I will post that in the classifieds. I just built a brand new motor for it which is probably worth more than the whole car lol. I'm keeping it on the stock side for now in hopes I can sell it to somebody.
The black car is stock but I cans off it and put some stainless mufflers on it, lowered it and I am in the process of bolting on one of ECS's supercharges. Too heavy... Needs boost lol. Anyway, hope to contribute and see you all around.

Hey RJ!


LOL--> Nothing I have is terribly fast anymore...The 67 has a 468...

[AintQik]

Lol well not fast compared to a lot of these guys. Last car trapped 142. The 67 does a lot of things well but no one thing spectacular. It probably runs a low 12 or high 11.

missing 2nd n 3rd gens lol

welcome, quite the nice assortment of camaros n garage

[MyFirstZ]

I love that first gen!

welcome!

[AintQik]

Thanks guys! The 98 will be painted a very strange blue so color is no matter. You guys are going to love it or hate it. I saw an ad once for a 69 Mopar and the car was this dull sort of light gray blue with a black top. I always thought it would look cool on an Fbody like a 98 with the black roof. So, since this was going in the trash anyway and my paint gun finger is itchy I went and got the paint. We'll see. It's going to be epic or utter failure lol.

I found a VFN Sunoco for $450 but don't know if I want to spend that on a junk yard build. I may hit you up for the stock one. Really need. Bumper cover!

Same. Was about to say, "a 900sqft garage in Germany, eh? Not bad."

Welcome to the club. Cars look great. Do my eyes deceive me, or do you have the same wheels on the 5th gen as you do on the first gen? And is that a yellow MG in the garage?

[Artful Dodger]

Hey RJ how you been? I see you you are working on another one...

Look different to me. Lugs are on the center on one and recessed on the other

[Rob WS6]

Welcome, that 68 looks friggin killer! Was always a big fan of the pro-touring look on older muscle cars.

[ar0ck]

Killer collection! Welcome to the club!

The 67(drivers vent window was out in the one pic) has Forgelines on it. I wanted to get them for the 12 but I wound up finding those Giovannas dirt, dirt cheap. They are similar in shape. The wheels on the 98 I found for $400 with tires lol. They are 19s which I hate but like I said I am trying to put it together with stuff I find laying around cheap. They are actually a prett good wheel, BMW fitment, I just wish they were 17s or 18s. I have it low enough that it will look pretty good and not all donkish.

The yellow car is an MG. 63 I restored for my friend. I put a 5 speed out of a British ford I imported and basically got the thing running and reliable. That is tough on an MG, but its the most reliable car he has now lol. Then he got nuts and he'd me fab a center console complete with a DVD player and screen, power windows and all manner of other stuff he made me do. Always out in the shop goofing off on something. I should have a picnic this spring. Got plenty of room.

Yup Art, I found that one down in DC getting ready to be scrapped. I get home full time in 2 weeks so I can finally start hanging around again. Wife just had another baby but that is why I sold the Vette. Camaros have 4 seats! See you at next months meeting... I hope!

[greenformula92]

[Tru2Chevy]

Quite a nice collection you have there, can't wait to check them out at a meet sometime.
