Yes I do, but barely it seems. Definitely gotta get it out more this summer. I usually don't put full insurance back on it till May, weather permitting.

Thanks, I wouldn't mind my ear getting bent in that direction once in a while. It seems lately many of my body parts are getting pulled in different directions, which leaves me with less "me time".

I know exactly what thats like. The wife makes me "to do" lists and theres never anything on there that I want to actually do much less anything to do with the Camaro.

Scooch, your car looks good out of the garage. I do think the car sits good and looks nice with wheels and tires you have. I enjoy driving my car and have a lot of fun with it. We just got back last week end from the Pigeon Forge, Ten. Rod Run. It's about 350 miles one way for us. On the way down it rained from the time we pulled out of the garage to time we pulled into hotel parking lot. Passed A LOT of trailer queens along the way, which might be "their thing". But my car is a toy not a show car I like driving them and having fun.

thanks Darrell, thats a heck of a road trip. I hope to be able to trust mine that far but Id definitely have to change out the Trans or the Rear Gear because this thing is not built for the Interstate.

and, I LOVE your 69.... that thing is beautiful

Thanks for your kind words Scooch about my car. My car isn't a "show car" it's a toy.
My "bracket racing days" are over LoL and I run a shorter 373 gear which with the Muncie 4speed and 14" wheels it's still a little Tall for the street...But I am a gear head so hot rodding is in my blood and a 4speed is just fun LoL. I do drive it like a 3speed 90% of the time guess I'm getting OLD.

well, I figured out that I forgot to put the vacuum hose on the vacuum advance, just too much other stuff goin on I guess. today I got the carb adjusted and the timing set. it runs like a completely different car. and I thought it ran pretty good before. now when I get it sideways it doesnt bog anymore.
