Nice!
Damn dude,what do you do for a living,I'm in the wrong business lol.
A lot of money invested in rolling stock in those two cars.

the camaro is actually hugger orange, original paint still. I love cars... if you went to autorama you would of seen my supercharged cts v gmdcamaro and I also had the LS7 and my 67 in autorama last year if you went.. it won best in class.

I don't make much money at all. it's just that I am single with no kids or child support to worry about. I bought my 67 as a total POS when I was 17 years old and built it up over the years to what it is now. I admit, I have a LOT of money in my 67 with this build, probably more than I want to know.. I don't even want to attempt to guess how much is in the LS7 motor alone.. never mind the rest of the car.. but then again all hobbies takes money. At least with car hobbies we can enjoy them and drive them unlike basketball cards and RC cars and things like that. there is definately a lot of worse things we could be spending money on than cars... things like drugs and civics... lol

I am out in weber county.. Where are you at gmdcamaro? I was born and raised here in utah and I love it here.. except we are supposed to get 4" of snow tomorrow.. damnit.

I just love cars and am always working on something. right now I have a 1940 chevy coupe I am building for my father ( surprise for him ).. going to run a LS1 / t56 combo... Throw on a ls6 intake, better heads and a cam and make 460 wheel all day long after i tune it.. should be pretty fun to cruise around in.. that's my winter project.. I just sold my supercharged cts V and my 69 camaro to make room for more projects but I will NEVER sell my 67.. it's my baby and there is no amount of money that would tempt me to sell it.

thanks for all the compliments.. I really appreciate it.. I am happy to be here to help out and mingle with all the other car lovers here.

Well I guess that makes sense,if I didn't have 3 kids,a boat a Harley a 4X4 and a house on 5.5 acres I could have a couple bad cars.
I sure wouldn't waste money on a civic lol,never owned rice and never will.
You right about hobbies costing money,especially anything with a motor.

i wish I was on 5.5 acres.. My house is on 1.5 acres and I love it.. I Just can't afford any more land right now.. Land is not cheap that's for sure.

I'm down in Lehi. I went last year, though I don't remember to much of it.
I'm a Cali native, but I've been here for about 16 yrs. (I'm 19)

How'd you like the first snowfall today?

Welcome to the forum Nathan, I gotta ask for a pic of the engine. If you posted it on another thread just let me know and I'll go look at it, but I want to see this beast.
