Made the transmission pan headers, slip on collectors, and 5” diameter mufflers, plus fabrication of a transmission cross member to clear the huge exhaust. Modified the dry sump pan to work in a Camaro

T&D did the rockers,and rocker stands, then I made the tie bars, and welded all of the stands together so they are one solid piece, and won’t pull out of the heads with 350 plus on the seats, and around 1100 pounds open with a 9200 rpm shift point

This is before it was painted blue, and it has a pro stock style hood scoop now instead of the aluminum boat thing on it in the picture

Got a lot of funny looks showing up with a NHRA Pro Stock car on an open trailer behind a pickup truck

This is in my driveway, I had just finished putting the main colors on it, and started the final assembly. I was in my 20s

Some pictures of my younger years heavily involved with other serious gear heads. I built this 4.500 bore 3.5” stroke (I think it was around 445 cubic inches)big block with seriously modified 24 degree heads 17 to1 compression, dry sump, sheet metal intake, split dominators before you could buy them that way (it took me about a week to figure out and build the throttle linkage)that made 980 horsepower

This is the race engine The hole in the passenger valve cover was for the vacuum pump missing in this picture, and I never ran a alternator, but will need to on the street deal

You had to do a lot of one off stuff back in the day if you wanted to have an edge on your competition

This is the car. I did all the fabrication including building the hedders and exhaust + chassis and roll cage which is certified to 8.50 The body and doors are steel, the front clip is bolt together fiberglass to give it more of a stock look

When I first built it before it was painted. Hadn’t made the air pan yet for the aero hood scoop so I slapped some boat scoop on I had laying around. Not ideal but I was trying to last minute make it to a race as usual.

This is how it currently sits, and ironically after many years it’s turn key right now

This 57 is my latest acquisition, and we have fun looking at on coming traffic, and watching their heads turn, I get waved at, the head nod or whatever from all ages young and old, I get stopped at the convenience store or gas station. When my wife drives the 67 Camaro convertible people take pictures and want to stand near it or sit in it to be photographed. Again it is the very young all the way to the very old. I think certain classic cars will never loose their luster especially c2 and C3

This is a joint cut in with a tool while the cement was being poured outside the shop. These suck for rolling things
