AC for the 69 Camaro… compressor is the easy part. Main HVAC unit under the dash is going to be a chore.

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
Wait, you have a 69 camaro!?
That was my very first car. Got it when i was 14. All my buddies were getting lowered pick ups, and me not knowing what i had, i got rid of it. I regret that day.

That looks fun and sounds delicious! Great vid of what I'm sure was a great time. Super soft spot for the mid 60's ford crew monster truck lookin thing but it sounds like you guys got to see all sorts of good stuff.

It was pretty amazing. We set the bar pretty high right out of the gate… note sure we’ll ever top it!ChaseTruck754 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 5:45 pmThat looks fun and sounds delicious!

Bechard and I drove over 2700 miles round trip… through blistering heat, a monsoon, hail, tornado warning in NV… was an epic time.

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
Sounds like it. Trips like that can be hard to replicate or top and sometimes the 1st one ist just never matched. BUT, the fun is in trying right??
Was the trip just the Rugged crew? Or was it an invite or semi open invite thing?

It'd be fun to do a central coast version!

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
Once it was all planned and all our accommodations were set, we started getting the word out. Only requirements were, drive something cool (what's cool is up to you), and have a GMRS radio on Channel 19.ChaseTruck754 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 8:15 amWas the trip just the Rugged crew?

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
More Camaro updates… ordered me some exhaust leaks
Nah, I have a Magnaflow 2.5” exhaust system for the car but still had stock manifolds. I really wanted new manifolds with a 2.5” collector but couldn’t find anything that was supposed to fit this car, so I ordered these shorties with a ball flange (instead of gasket)… looking forward to installing them!

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
Looking good Steve! I have also inherited a family jewel. 66 ford stroked fe with fuel injection. Currently a majority is done. The motor loses oil pressure when warm so im going to pull it and check main and rod bearings. Its got some really good parts in it.
My uncle was putting it together before he passed from cancer. Im going to finish it his way.

Re: Random updates... what are you working on?
Yeah it’s been a ongoing project the last 2 years this year I redid the entire fuel system and she’s been problem free since. I put about 5000 miles on it this year so farhobbyturnedobsession wrote:That’ll preoccupy plenty of time. That should be fun.
