Re: Mid-Life Crisis '68 Camaro
Just thought I'd share the pics that were posted by the fellow who helped build and painted my Camaro, Steve Dobos. Not sure if he's on the site yet, but a great guy who put these up on another Camaro site.

Re: Mid-Life Crisis '68 Camaro
Steve, the gentleman who built and painted the car with the original owner, Norm, wrote me this awesome message. What a great guy he is, and I'm going to try to get him on this site. Can't imagine winding the little 302 up to 10k, yikes.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Mark, glad the Camaro made it to someone who will enjoy it. Me and Norm had a lot of fun building, showing and driving it. It started as a 1/8 mile drag car then we turned it into a show car then weekend cruiser. When Norm past away his wife wouldn't sell it to me we were not friends she hated the car I lost track of it. The best 1/4 mile time for the vehicle was 10.2 and from what I can remember the racing motor was still in it when Norm passed away. Get in touch with me I have all the build pictures, engine information original DZ motor, 202 heads with Manley valves, old school pink rods that have been x-rayed, Crane rev kit and girdle, Pete Jackson gear drive, a true 13.1 compression, spark plug need to be indexed so pistons do not hit plug at 10,000 shifting point, 670 Crane roller cam, should idle 2,000, cam comes in at 5,000 rpm and goes to 10,000. It launched at 5,500 and pulled gears at 10,000. The last time I drove it had 6.17 gears in the rear end. I have attached a couple pictures of a show we took it to in Montreal Canada. Hope to hear from you Steve! </div></div>
