This is the main page for my 1972 Camaro pro street drag car. This year it has gotten completely torn down from the bottom up. All new blueprinted 496 engine, race transmission, suspension, fuel system, electronics, interior, and to NHRA spec's. All new bodywork and paint is also in the works.

When I first got the car is was really messed up. A disaster. So, front to back it gets a proper build and layout. Down to the floor it goes and all rebuilt properly from the ground up. The engine is all new. Heads, valve train, exhaust, the works. New intake for the 8-71 blower system and new carbs. All new, and properly designed, fuel system. Complete rewiring including integrated race dash system (all those gauges go and one LCD setup runs them all). All new MSD powergrid ignition system. Transmission all redone by the race shop. So from the fuel tank, to seats, to headers, to headlights - all redesigned and redone. Look for all new paint job soon.

For photos, specs, build info and other things just select from the menu items. As the build progresses I'll get some video compilations of the rebuild and some photos compilations.
