This is Mario, you'll see him this Sunday... he's pretty funny on the show...




Here's Mario's 1969 Camaro with a 1967 Corvette 427 Engine and a 1967 Corvette hood custom fabricated to fit the Camaro...


And recently we had his 1972 Challenger down here for some features... in fact we demonstrated Poorboy's Blackhole Show Car Glaze in one our features on the show.

Craig Danzig is the owner of the Belair, GTX and the 1966 Corvette in the first post above, he's got a great story about the 1966 Corvette that involves a Pitchfork and Hay!

He's going to share that story on the show...

Did any CF member catch it today?

If not, it repeats on Monday, May 2nd at 4:30pm Eastern Time...


Earl the Plumber and Mario both came by and watched it with me in the studio today, since they both drive hot rods every day for daily drivers I took a couple pictures of them while they were parked out in front of the studio.

Look to see Mario's 1969 Camaro back for a future project...


The 1969 Camaro has a 1967 427 BBC in it and the 1970 El Camino has a 512 BBC in it... both sound awesome!







This is the hood off of a 1967 Corvette that Mario customized to fit on his 1969 Camaro, looks very cool...






Skulls painted throughout the stripes...









Mario has some custom machine work done throughout the car including these CNC machined lug nuts...





That's it for today... time to take the rest of the day off and recharge batteries for the week ahead...

Pretty cool. Chevrolet did not offer a 327/365 HP engine in the 1966 Corvette, looked like the 350HP sticker was on the air cleaner as well (L-79 327/350 HP) . 1965 was the last year for 327/365HP engine.
