She's home...
 

Yes, ladies and gents, the 1972 Camaro RS that I went to go see in early spring has finaly reached its home!!
I went with my mother and met up with my grandfather today in York PA. We talked about the car, what was done to it and how he has maintained the car. Also, what was needed to be fixed and any potential problems it might have.
So this is the final deal
It does NO LONGER have a 307 2bbl carb, which I kinda figured considering the Edel carb and intake.
It IS a 350 motor, but its rebuilt and doenst have a whole lot to it. Mild mild stuff, maybe 200hp. Installed less then 300 miles ago.
Tires are deffinatly need to be replaced. At least 10 years old.
Oil needs to be replaced, duh
Rust needs to be delt with as well as the paint on the roof is thin.
Belts need to be replaced ASAP as they are annoyingly squeeling now.

Plans are very simple. I want to get a set of nice Rally rims and put some bigger tires on it. Long tubes as well as a full dual exhaust for the sound.
I need to get the basic things done before I take it anywhere.
The car rides and handles great. I love it!!

YES! More second gens!!!!! :D :headbang:

Finally! This board is lacking hard-core in 2nd gens, their finally making a slow but steady come-back!

You can do all that basic **** @ Sears anyway :lol:

talk to matt about the body stuff....not like he works at resto shop or anything :P

awesome!

Congrats man! When do you hope to have it done?

ttiwwp

Cool, can't wait to see it come out and play. Throw some 17" Torq Thrusts on it and have some fun.

i was thinking of some nice TT2's, but they are mucho expensive. I wanted to go with a classic look and go for a set of Rally wheels. A friend of my gf knows where he can get a set of them, so I think im gunna do that.
Picutres should be up soon, but its raining...and the cars outside... :cry:
I need to clean out my 2nd garage!!

Congrats man, glad that you are back in the F-body fold :)

Can't wait to see your new baby in person.

That's what I meant, the TT2. They are all over Ebay for decent prices but still not as cheap as some old rallies or the 70-81 5 spoke Z28 wheels(they look better than rallies on a 2nd gen).

congrads man! nice to see your back in the game. this car must be brought to the grease trucks ASAP!

Get that car outta the rain and put it in the garage where the turd gen used to be! ;)

Brother and sister... both second gens. it's good to be a twin :D

Oh so NOW im back in the family.... :roll:

hehe

:w00t:

ttiwwp x2

If you're gonna get ralley wheels, make sure you get the corvette ones. the camaro ones are 15x7 and 14x7. the vette pieces are 15x8 8) I used to have a set of vette ralleys on my second gen, looked AWESOME!!!

Good move, but Im only puttong on a set of 215/65-15's, so even a 15x7 will do.
i eventualy will probably do more.
ONe thing I did notice is this
I filled up just outside of York PA. 15 gallons of fuel, 93 octane.
Drove home 2.5 hrs(Penn pike, NJTP, 195 and Rt 18)
Then drove to work, later that night I drove to my girlfriends, then around town for about an hour.
Woke up and drove it again to work and back tonight.
I JUST hit half a tank of gas....
This is my new nice day daily driver.

it probably has 2.73's out back :lol:

two words:

dub deuces

three words:

hell ****ing no! :lol:

hey Al, you should spend some time cleaning up the paint on that beast. get a clay bar and some polishing compound. I bet the paint will shine up pretty well.

sweet now you can get rid of the freakin maxx :lol:

No, im in a contract with Chevy for 3 more years, so that would be hard and costly.

I HAVE been driving the car every day to work so far, and boy do I love it!!
I really would like someone that knows more about carbs to take a ride with me and tell me what is going on.

I took pictures today when work died down.
I also looked up exhaust parts too. Looking at Hedman Headers, Elite Ceramic Coated LT and Magnaflow's Stainless dual exhaust. First I gotta get tires and wheels for this thing, as well as a tune up.

Here are the pics I took today..

I know they are not Alex quality, but not bad. 8)

It needs a spoiler, and some fat rubber.
