DID some more work on The Camaro Today!
I need to have this car running in 2 weeks. Long story short, I have someone who is VERY interested in buying it without the 9 inch, and he said He is just waiting to be able to drive it and we can go from there. I quoted him a price, that he is obviouslly considering!
So I guess we'll know something in a short while!
I'm kinda happy about it, b/c I already have some plans for my next build, and At the price I'm selling it for.... I'll be able to build 1 NA$TY a$$ Ride. haha
Wish me luck guys!

Here is some pictures of what I did to the car today, Not alot but at least I worked on it. lol

First thing I did was pull the Map sensor out of the FAST Intake, Tap the hole to a 1/2-18 thread pitch, and put a few fittings in there to prevent the oil leak and vacuum leak I had last year from reoccuring this year.
Come to find out, That my seal for the MAP Sensor was messed up and was leaking and allowing a vacuum leak b/c it was not flush inside the intake! I was wondering where the oil leak was, Guess i found it huh!
Also put the wiring harness back in today! That was something I've been wanting to get done soon, so I fiured I might as well do that today!

Well, to be honest with you, I don't really want to sell it b/c of how much time, money, and fun I have in this thing! BUT, I can pretty much get ALL of my money back out of the car. And to me, it's worth it to sell it and go the route That I have been wanting to go for so long. Like I said though, It's not for sure. But there is a Pretty Strong chance it will sell!

If so, I'm going to buy a Nice Trans Am WS6 or Formula Maybe a Formula WS6 if I can find 1. And then build it up. Since I'm keeping the MWC Fab 9, I'll already have a rearend. And then I'll just buy a Coan TH400 setup with a 4000 Stall and buy a NA Pump Gas 427CID LS2 Dry Sleeved Engine From ERL with TFS 235's, A FAST 102/102 Setup, and a decent size cam. And then slowly add all of the suspension to the car while I'm building it! With that said, I'll be on the hunt for 9's my next time around!

I have learned something along the way. With building this car I found out where to spend the money and where to NOT spend the extra $.
So I am confident in building a VERY stout Street/Strip car my next time around with the Budget I have in mind!

Just hoping he buys it now! lol
