They say the same thing on Team Camaro, but they say the bike is sweet. The bike is the reason the car isn't further along than it is. I have about 6 months to go before paint. I plan to hit it very hard in about three weeks. I am down to mostly cleaning, and re-assembly now with the car. I had worked on it for about 6 months without much of a break, but it got so unbelieveably hot that I just could not do it, and enjoy it. I sold my first (and only other) 67 when my daughter was born, and always said I'd have another one (67 that is). It is going to be hard dividing time between the bike and car when it is finished, but that is a good problem as I see it. Thanks for the comments on the car, I love 1st gen Camaros, but I love 67s the most.

OK I gotta ask what's under the hood or planned to be under the hood?

66-69 were great years, for the big 3. Then the GOV sic EPA started messing around and it was down hill from there. :

Right now I have a pretty basic 350 (the engine is out of a legitimate 11.00 second car, so maybe not entirely "basic") sitting on the stand. My long-range plans are for a big block. It isn't a numbers matching car, so originality isn't an issue (I wish it were). It is going to be a "nice" driver, but not a show car. Like every bike I have ever had, I feel that these cars should be used and driven, and I plan to drive it.
