That's one awesome battery.....don't laugh though I have worked extensively in India (it looks like that shot was from India). You talk work cover. My company builds and install voice and data networks. During the huge floods in Mumbai about 2 years ago (over 100 people drowned by being sucked down street drains) a customers call centre went off the air due to the equipment being in the basement and flooded. Our India guys somehow got there in 3-5 feet of water in teh street then "duck dived" down to the basement for 5 hours slowly unscrewing all the kit from the racks, took it up 3 floors dried it out with towels and industrial fans and got it all working again...only lost 2 power supplies due to shorts.

Now if anyone has seen indian streets no way I would even walk in that water let alone duck dive into it

Very india alright...though could also be somewhere in Africa...China is a modern country by comparison....nice girls too.

I read this and thought you were nuts, and then realised it was your india guys that went snorkelling in that water. It kills normal mortals. Yah mumbai is bollox in the rain.

You must work for Cisco, or Di Data or something like that.....

lol :)

The 69 was on a cruise we organised up here recently.

The camaro has just arrived fairly recently in the condition in the photo's direct from the states I think (still has US rego),... as far as I know it will just be a weekend car. The pics of the camaro I didnt take myself, so Im unsure of some details.

Some things for rego will need to be changed - side intrusion bars, the roll cage and of course the NOS lines lol

They guy who bought it got it for a fairly good price I hear.

ill post up more details on it when they become available.

EDIT: http://www.geezers.com.au/archivedetails.php?id=74 looks like it was purchased from here

Hi Gav,
the wheels are costing me $2540US plus $300 each rear to cut and machine back to 9.5inch wide rather than the 19x10 so ex factory $3140US. It is an extra $75US per wheel for special finishes. If i didn't have so much chrome and polished ali i would have gone the brushed rims with the smoke finish centre. Jason is a great guy to talk to and has been fantastic to deal with to date. I think that he is extremely well respected by his peers on Lat-g so i am confident that he will do the right thing by me. If you want his contact detail PM me
Regards
Adam

[TUFF68]

:cool: .so no slouch then.Whats times has it run Marty?-coz I'm going to be asked :D
The pass before the wheelstand was a 9.13 after qualifying with a 9.14, and like Jamie, i'm not sure of her PB. I'm expecting to see wheelie bars on it next time it hits the track :D

[WILD68]

I cant believe she hasnt put wheely bars on it already:o

Greg Gower has been tuning and up until the wheely the were hoping for a high eight, i have seen it run 9.14 but dunno what her best is.

Hi guys.. I stumbled across this thread.. I tune Cass' car and did the engine combo, porting, etc.
Here's a vid of the wheelstand:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPZCjwZF4fk

The car has run in the 8.90's.. I'd been warning that it was getting too high, but the air wasn't too flash on the night and we weren't expecting it that night.

The reason it didn't have wheelie bars is that's it's still kinda Street.. no race suspension.. it's still on leaf springs.

[blackoutsteve]

Hey guys, joined a little while ago, said I'd throw some pics up of the Old Man's 69 Fastback.

When we first got it, sorry, no daytime pics. Was a decent car, very little rust, very driveable as is, just a bit tired.

http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/7987/imgp0277a.jpg (http://img260.imageshack.us/i/imgp0277a.jpg/)

Mid build in the shed at home. Paint was done locally, as was the engine. It's an alloy headed stroker, engine dynoed at over 600hp.

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1746/pa200182.jpg (http://img185.imageshack.us/i/pa200182.jpg/)

Basically as it sit's now, ended up with a set of Mickey T street 'slicks' on it as it didn't really have much traction with the Yoko's.

Local drags day, out on the airstrip, rough track, and 35 degree heat add up to rubbish times. He's talking about running it at Heathcote soon, so keep an eye out for it. I'm working in London for a couple of years, so will miss out. This is me piloting here. Loving it.

Thankyou. Your build has been a real inspiration.
rear end is all strange with wilwood brakes and santhuff shocks.
Frontend is all rebuilt.

This will be a longterm build as im doing everything myself (except paint).

Hopefully by next year have it painted candy blue with white stripes.
Ive already got convo pros for it.

The dream is a 7second street car on radials.

I wish I could have done more stuff on my car, but lack of time and skill (top shelf skills, I can certainly hack with the best of em)...

Holy sh!t Steve where the hell did you get that from...Looks like your discussing the damage the brake fluid he got on your car has caused...Havn't seen Zop for years but that is exactly how i remember him...You reckon your down n out & in a sh!tty mood and you drag that photo out??? Hurry up & finish your car so you can go and get a circa 2010 photo with him.....He's still alive:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[blackoutsteve]

The brake fluid incident happened in the other shop he had about a street or two away. I saw some real seedy characters come and go while my car was there.. For example, do you remember a large guy with a brown-ish 1st Gen Firebird? Let me just say.. "Substances". :p
Tony Freeman was doing his electrical work.. Do you remember him? He seemed OK, -quite good actually. I wonder if he still has anything to do with Zop..
That pic as you will well know was taken at his brother's shop in Green St.
You can't see them in the pic, but maybe you remember up on that mezzanine down the back where the ladder is, there was a pair of Bowtie, non-hydraulic (no water jacket) aluminum BBC drag racing heads. At the time, they would have been some big money. They looked completely brand new too. I know Zop had no use for them and just assumed that they were collateral of some sort. :D

We still had a good relationship at this point. -but was short lived when he denied responsibility for the damage he did later on.
Edit: Actually he never did deny responsibility.. He just refused to pay and never showed at the claims tribunal when I thought the law was going to help me. They did absolutely nothing about it.
Somehow, I doubt I'll be attempting to go anywhere near him when my car is driving..
Instead, I think you & me need to burn up some drag strips again. Just like old times, but at the same time, this time! ;) Can't wait. :cool:

I'm in a great mood.. Those were just song lyrics for Gav. :D

The Electric Blue of that '57 is.. well.. Electric!
Beautiful. The Gun Metal roof works really well also. I love it. :)

The Matte Black Prius however.. Right color, totally wrong car.
Maybe it's a statement.. The matte black represents the doom and gloom of a chemically toxic car that is propelled by burning brown coal and the misperception of environmental cleanliness! :D

F@$%#$ no Way, that pic drags up some weird/hilarious memories, did some of my apprenticeship there in the late 80's & still catch up with one of the other guys that did his time there, we knew him as Fish ( fisha ) & smarter brother Bill:eek:, worked on a lot of Yank cars then, if thats your Camaro Steve i was gone by then;);) it was a grease pit of a workshop probably still is, i have some other pics of the shop if ya wanna see them

[zed28427]

i have some other pics of the shop if ya wanna see them

I would love to see them Luke....I'm just wondering who's got more stories you or me.....I reckon if i started a thread on it i'd have more pages than blackoutsteve and cluxford put together....I reckon i've seen every seedy prick in Melbourne in that place....."remember they were right behind cremorne st" and we all know what was going on there...i'm gathering your mate from there was Jimmy?????? You must have worked there pre MVP Import days??

22 year old who lived in the US until 2001 here :) have a fair idea what your talking bout but some bed time stories would be great :P and whats cremorne st

Yer Dease, have lots of memories good & bad, shifties, cut & shuts etc etc, MVP just started up i guess just before i left, 1st car they imported was a faded green 68 327 camaro which they converted & painted grey, we raced that car in the back streets of richmond flat out, the other guy i worked with was Louie good guy) i know Jim ( Jimara bad guy) he worked there on the school holidays, runs black rock motors now i think , chessnut steet was behind green st i think the perice family lived there, i was there when cops in black trim with sledge hammers & big arse guns closed all surrounding streets for a massive bust, we were told to close the roller doors, that workshop was a half way house the wild stories, the weird, strange, normal, famous people we meet @ 19 yo what buzz, the other work shop run by shifty wogs was Shift-O-Matics: AKA Shifties eek:, plenty of action @ cherry tree hotel 2:D

[skywalker]

check out the state of the art work shop, it was a grease pit dump, but we didn't know any better, we loved working there, i guess because we loved working/driving Cool fast cars, due to our age & the guys we worked for, they pulled shifties over us eg they told us on occasions they had no money to pay us for wages:confused:, pay you next week:(, we were apprentices on 250 a week more or less for F@#$ sake

Is that a photo of BJ actually drag racing?

[blackoutsteve]

No idea, but just think, that ZL1 is in landfill somewhere.
You'd think that one of 69 ZL1s ever made at a cost of US$7500 (just 3x the base model price) might be worth hanging on to.. maybe? :rolleyes:

I thought it was rebuilt:confused:

[blackoutsteve]

The orange car was rebuilt, as we know, and has the engine in it from this blue ZL1.
The engine from the orange ZL1 was probably scrapped after many years of racing injuries. (I remember seeing a ZL1 block at Crankshaft Rebuilders years ago and offered to buy it. My offer was low due to the amount of welding, machining and recoiling that had been done to it, and the machining that still would have been required. My offer was refused. -This could have been the block from the Orange ZL1.)
The orange car was a serious hack-job too. Although it's an "original" ZL1, not really very much of it is original to the car at all. It's value is in it's racing history.

[qik66]

Was told the orignal engine out of the orange car ended up beening sent to the UK and continued to be raced

[YenkoSC]

This is true. It was put in a 70 Camaro of Frank Gardner and won the British Touring Car Championship in 73. From there the history is cloudy.

[blackoutsteve]

Then I wonder which block I seen that day.. It was the real thing. Casting numbers were correct with the Winters Foundry logo.
Maybe an "over the counter" block and not OE from any Camaro.

[blackoutsteve]

I am totally amazed (and a little embarrassed :o) that this water pump was able to actually circulate water around the V6 S/charged engine in my Statesman and keep it cool -no hotter than the thermostat temp and even while towing a near complete Blackout on a 750kg tandem 200ks on the open road.
I had an inconsistant heating issue that would come and go at idle, which made me only consider the pump, but not pin-point it.
Today, in a process of elimination (and frustration) I decided to remove it with a new replacement standing by.
Bloody Hell! :eek:

Amazed it moved any water.

That would have just been stirring the water Steve.
Was the impellor acting as a sacrifical anode?

Great pic Russ. :)

It was circulating it.. Not very well of course, but it was. When the temp would raise up, only when stationary (but not always when stationary), I would select neutral, bring the revs to about 2K and the temp would fall very quickly back down the the normal running temp. These 2 reasons are why I thought the pump was working. The fact that the car could sit stationary for long periods with a such an inefficient pump shows how much capacity the cooling system must have in these cars.
Not a sacrificial impeller, but it was a poorly maintained cooling system and probably been cavatating with air in the system. Cavatation kills impellers.

Just added another 3 storeys to my tool box.. I have the now-discontinued charcoal Kincrome Limited Edition box, so the new Kincrome "Blue Steel" 3 drawer add-on is my only option -short of painting it -which I wont.
Ever tried to lift a tool box full of tools? Damn they get heavy!

Engine crane comes in handy.. :D

Valid point but the way you capture the mopar is amazing and always get the right angle and background as once person told me once a good pictures becomes great with a good backdrop

[Russ]

Thanks for the complements. I suppose in most cases I just get lucky. I would have taken 15 of just this one shot in varying angles , distances etc. This was the only one that was worth using.

Guess if you take that many attempts at a shot, you're bound to get 1 right :D

Thought I'd get down to the Hawkesbury River at the break of dawn for some nice backdrop shots - but it was wet & miserable.
