Next week? only if I had tons of money - I wish. My budget is only a few hundred bucks for now, yeah yeah I know... Once I hit budget its back to just looking at it till I save up again. The only way ill do somehting even close to a rotisserie is if I use a heavy sheet of ply wood, round one edge and bolt it to the font end - do the same on the back and poof, rotisserie.I am going to put more pictures up if I do that.

Anyone know the name of the glue for body panels? Im going to spot weld them in place but I dont know anything about the glue stuff. If its true/real, it sounds much easier than running a bead (which I can not do well) and sanding it down.

3M makes panel adhesive called Automix. I have the special gun, you can pick one up on ebay.
Check 3M's website for more info, they have different adhesives for different purposes.

Here is another pic of the heads. Still debating on using them on the 350. Cant afford new heads or I would get the aluminum ones.

glad to see you are working on the Camaro again. good job with the Pics too. Im still in a holding pattern on my heads. word on the street is they could be cracked from the heat (from the fire). Im sure somebody around here has a nice set of heads just layin around they will want to donate to the Scooch. keep up the progress man, we have got to hurry and get these things back on the road while they will still sell us Fossil Fuel to run them!
