For the first time in 10 years my ‘71 Camaro hit the road under its own power!
Yeah 10 years is a long time but sometimes life happens, and yeah the body needs a lot of work but it moved! On it’s own! I took it around the block just to get an idea of where things stand. It sounded like the left exhaust pipe is rattling around pretty good when idling in gear and some of the side marker lights need sorting but other than that it was pretty sound. I also got a double-take from a guy in a WRX. I guess he’s not used to seeing hood-less multicolored ‘71 Camaros taking their shakedown cruises.

Frau Blucher requests a pic of the car in question.

Blucher!
Here is a shot from a while back. It has an interior now and a different air cleaner (one not quite so flammable) but the body is just as bad now as it was then.

It’s the best. There isn’t a part of that car I haven’t bled on or cursed over but it’s all worth it when it’s actually moving down the street. I hope you can motivate him. The world needs more ‘55 Chevies.

Sorry, for some reason I didn’t get one. I only have a single car garage, which holds my wife’s car and isn’t big enough to work in anyway, so it is up at my parents’ roomy three-car garage otherwise I’d go out and take one. It’s pretty much the same as the pic I posted to Birddog except that it has carpet and seats and a different air cleaner.

I don’t have a recent shot but I posted one to Birddog above. It looks just about the same except with an interior and a big chrome air cleaner that won’t burst in to flames at the first backfire.

Looks pretty straight. Congrats on the progress. Car shows, tracks in the future? Make sure and post photos then.
