That’s right. I’m ordering Purple Hornies tomorrow. And yes, I’m the type of asshole who’s going to bolt them right to the headers so everyone within 3 miles knows the car’s being driven.
Funny part is I’m buying “mufflers” (quotation because I doubt they muffle much- just how I like ‘em!) but what the car needs is a carb. Well, as cruel as it may sound, I’ll ask my grandfather to buy the carb (remember- this is his Camaro. I just admire it and clean it and help Dad try to keep it running.)
The Flowmasters sound good, but everybody and their brother, their brother’s cousin, and their brother’s cousin’s dog runs them. Plus I hear they don’t really flow all that well anyways, so it shouldn’t lose too much performance. Hell, it might gain a little.
Also, I need a project name for this. Project Second Day? It’s a Day-2 70s Street Machine

Oh man.... I put ‘glass packs’ on my 86 bmw 328 in college. Local guy was an awesone fabricator. Car sounded SO great. Good luck with yours. Press the loud pedal often.

May I suggest Project Blacktop? It’s got the right vinyl top, and has Chevy Performance lineage that goes back to the 55 Chevy 150 in the film.

Okay, I like that. However, other than them both being Chevys, I don’t really see parallels to the TLB Chevy.

Both are Chevrolets, both have V8 engines, both were hooned in the early 70s. Not a ton of parallels, but I’m drawing a blank otherwise.

Well, hooned in the early 70s I don’t know of. I just know it’s got a lot of the things that were common back then. Pavement Pounder sounds good, but generic at the same time. Damn you Hot Rod Magazine, if it weren’t for them I could use Crusher Camaro.

‘63 , it had some sort of fuel leak and he just parked it and left it.

Funny, that’s why this was parked. Pissing fuel out the carb. Depending on where it is, why not fix the leak and get it running?

Some fuel line I think, they might have failed due to age

Perhaps. Well, hopefully you can get it running someday!

It’s a shame it’s not shitty enough to be called the “Crustmaro.”

Well, I don’t know about “shame”. Project Painful? Damn thing never runs right.

Hopefully my 68 camaro looks that nice when/if I ever finish it.

It’s a shame it’s not a Firebird with nitrous, for then it could be called “Project P-NOS” and get all the lulz on the internet.

It’ll probably look nicer to be honest. It’s beginning to rust under the vinyl top.

Sadly, it’s not happening. Because the brick wall known as Dad stepped in. SOMEDAY!
