OK, here is the car photo that I picked for this week.

I thought I would stick with classic hot rods again this week. This is a 1931 Chevrolet Sedan Hot Rod. It has a custom paint job and a trailer that is painted to match. Under the hood was a 350ci Chevy Small Block V8 engine. This was a really cool car.

I took this photo at the Springfield Car Show in Springfield, Oregon - July, 2005.

I hope you like it.

Kinda like the car, but I don't like trailers period (for cars anyway.) because a Prowler, in the oncoming lane, with a trailer hit a bump at like 89MPH, and the trailer flew off and hit our car, nearly killing me and my mother. I say you show pics of YOUR Camaro, as you keep doing stuff to it.

I honestly try not to post very many pics of my Camaro or say much about it because I don't want to come off like I'm boasting. But, I am going to be doing an engine swap this winter so I will be posting pics of that as it happens. But until then, I'm not going to be doing much on it (I'm saving my money for the engine swap and I'm enjoying the car while the weather is still nice. Grin

).

Not too bad..

Trailer looks decent with it compared to one that isn't painted! Wink

Well, since you guys asked-here are a couple of my car:

First, a couple exterior front and back shots.

Here is a recent interior shot:

Here is the engine that is currently in the car. It is a GM Goodwrench 350ci V8 Small Block engine with about 260hp.

Here is the new engine for the Camaro which I haven't put in yet. It will be put in this fall once the car shows are all over and once the weather begins to get bad. It is a high performance custom built 396ci V8 Big-Block engine. It has about 400hp and 450ft/lbs of torque. This is a 1966 engine (probably out of a Chevelle originally). Note, that is painted the original GM engine orange but its not that bright. I took that photo when it was getting dark so it made the photo brighter than it actually is. Roll Eyes

Finally, the proud owner (me) holding the first show trophy this car was awarded. This was at the local Father's Day Car Show:

Well, I hope you guys liked them photos. There are a lot more pics at my cardomain site. The link is in my signature.
