    Now we move into desperation territory (seeking advice)...

    If it were me, I would make new grounds. Just for peace of mind. Take off each ground and grind on the metal of both sides and put it back. If you are missing any of them, put new ones in place. You cannot be over grounded.

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    Wait! I do have a photo of the seat bottom all finished and waiting to go in. I sat in the truck last weekend when I was over there and with the new foam in the seat, my hair touches the roof. He is looking to lower the seat itself in the near future for more clearance. Over Memorial day we...

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    Now with the new console he couldn't leave things alone. He pulled the seat and carpet to find that things are pretty good under there. Note the sweet, sweet bookshelf speakers that were placed under the seat for tuneage... The seat was stripped of the covers and old foam. Broken springs on...

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    Now Paul is good with the wood work as well. He wanted a console with cupholders, so he made one for the truck. Also you can see the new fresh steering wheel he picked up for it in there... The engine didn't have a coolant collection tank, so it would just mark its territory occasionally. He...

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    Since my brother is lame and hasn't been keeping up on this, here I am with updates for heem... This truck came with some old school fog lights on it that looked terrible attached to the top of the bumper. Plus one was bashed and garbage, so a while ago he removed them.... Much better at his...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    After some thinking on it, this stuff is just hangin low and the pipe damage is probably all from speed bumps. She started it yesterday for her boyfriend as it was his first viewing of the car. Boy did it smoke a ton. Looks like we will try to bandaid the situation with some valve seals to...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    It does have some nice Magnaflow tips under it for sure. Stock trailing arms with actual new looking bushings, links, and shocks like the ad stated. Stock torque arm as well, I wonder why the dampness around the diff cover and tube... What wheels are lurking beneath the hub caps.... And...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    We have some Phuckin yikes stuff going on down here. Magnaflow muffler doesn't really seem all that growly of a muffler, so I looked a bit deeper. Been smashed a bit and I spy some booger welding... Ohhh good lawd! Then I looked forward to the front. Smash-o! And they WTH is going on there...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    We did find this bolted to the bottom of the heater box cover, I wonder if it still works. This car has been wired (poorly) for a full stereo system.... More work will be needed to remove it for testing of the amp. If it works it will go back into the car in a far better location.

    Bose components for viewing. Front kick panels and rear deck. Underside of rear deck shows it is missing one of the speaker boxes. Front kick closer up...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Yes it is. Only has one speaker on the under side though. But on the top side it is complete and will be used for some rear fill. More photos to come tomorrow....

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I had Max pull the kick panels out and sure enough they are Bose. They wont stay Bose though as the head unit is already long gone. I will repurpose them to hold other speakers.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Unless you went and saw the car, I had not posted the RPO codes before you stated it had the Bose stuff. I see the code on my chart, but I haven't posted a photo of the rear hatch speakers. You are magic. Unless you are more nerd and saw something in the photos that I posted earlier that shows...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    So I sent Max and Der Burger on the test drive while I talked with Tony. He was surprised to hear that we are a hot rod family and that the car will be in good hands. I explained that I have made both the kids engage in the research for their own cars by making contact and asking questions. Her...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    He told us over the phone he bought it for the wheels that were on it. They were the stock ones that went on his 1986 Vette. He paid $4,000 for it and then told us that he was set on $2,600 and no lower. After it started right up and idled like a sewing machine I was good with his price. It is...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I had made her make all the connections and phone calls to the gentleman that was selling the car. He is a 70 year old guy that over the phone wanted to make sure she knew what she was getting into as he knew she is an 18 year old girl. So I put Max on the phone and he let him know we are better...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    So my daughter has been all over me for the last year and a half for us to purchase her a first car. She has been all over the place with what she wants, but one that remained in play over that time was a 3rd gen Camaro. We found this one in the local area on Marketplace and set up a time to go...

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    We pulled a roller L-29 454 out of the junkyard on half price day. That with its matching 4L80 two wheel drive transmission, driveshaft, and some other doo dads we were out the door at $450 or so. Got lucky that day, but I have seen several of the L-29 Vortec engines in the yard since. Another...

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    Without knowing more, this one could be fun. It has 218 degrees at .050 and that should be plenty for a heavy sub. Stock seems to be right around 200 degrees and more strip style cams seem to come around at 230 degrees and up. But please do research and call the cam company representative and...
