What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

Camaro's are the current body kit kings, original body ones will be the holy grail when they get collector status much like finding an original engine in a first gen. There were some absolutely hideous ones at the local shows. I really think the 80s are coming back in car culture.

Proof:

 

Maybe not the same as a visor and more 90's than 80's, but pretty close.

Before you know it, cars will have heatsinks on the doors again

All looks good to me! Except for that light bar ... good Lord!

 

Been trying to find a set of raised white letter tires for the Silverado, and my '74 Yamaha RD350. Really difficult to find these days, wtf.

 

RWL, FTW!

Waiting on last parts lately, but got a lot done since last post, I think. Just need rear brakes and parking brakes so I can finish axle. Then my tranny crossmember and it on to wiring with custom dual exhaust last to get it running. After a while when it's all tuned I'll take it back off the road for a roll cage.

Just automotive paint and clear. Same as what I used on my strut bar.

Been thinking about the Firebird. I remember when I first bought it the oil pressures were way too high so I did an oil change to a lot lighter weight and synthetic. I'm guessing it was conventional 20w-50 from experience on how it flowed. That'd be ok on an original 50 year old engine.....

Butvthing thing was buikt using all modern parts and techniques, just based on the old architecture.

 

 

I'm thinking if it was a spun bearing, or lubricated oart failure, thats where the damage probably happened, the 9 months(although 4 was in storage) it was owned by a non car-guy running a likely way too thick oil.

I used to run 20w-50 in my V8's all year round - beat the snot out of all of them, and never had one engine problem ever.

 

Only engine I've ever blown up in my life was in my '71 C20. Someone tossed a POS 305 in there to sell it, and I was spinning the thing around 6k on the highway (4.56 rears - throttle pinned) one day when it violently spun a few bearings towards the back side of the crank. Who knows what the previous owner had done to it prior to me buying it. Wasn't long after I bought it, so it probably got bearing slapped as I was on my way to pick it up.

What years were they?

Oh boy you're gonna make me use my brain now ...

 

'72 ,'78, '81, '85, '86, '89, and '94 - might have missed a couple there too ...
