SILVER BULLET RETURNS TO REUNION
I told Rob about three years ago that I hoped to bring the silver 1970 COPO Nova to the 10th reunion. This past December, my two sons dragged it out of storage, as it has not moved much in 7 years. We thought we should sexy it up and bit, so took the motor out and subframe out and the sexy started. Anywayz, I had some unexpected health issues come up which really slowed the process down, but...... the exhaust should be back on by 5 oclock today and we have the track rented for Friday here. My 16 year old son will do all the driving and he has'nt even driven it down my laneway yet, so he needs some practice.
Anywayz... it officially looks like we will be at the reunion with my 1970 COPO Nova, one of two sold in Canada, with my sons hammering on the car. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peter

Re: SILVER BULLET RETURNS TO REUNION
Pete,
I have to say it was an honor to help you and the boys this weekend. I hope I didn't slow the process too much! I am guessing that the car, if Owen can get the hang of rowing, will pull some 13.40's and maybe some .30's. Nothing like having Uncle JJ for rowing instructions! For everyone else, hang on to your hat. With a Simpson tune up on the LT-1, life will be he!! for the other small blocks!
