Some Motion swag of my own.

[RichSchmidt]

I finally found a bunch of my old papers. Back in the day the owner of my 73 Camaro bought a mirrored dash cluster insert. When I bought the car in 1988,he gave me the receipt. It isn't anything crazy,but it is my own little piece of Motion performance.


It still shines up nice.



Back when I bought the car in 1989.

That is too cool! Enough with the teaser, let's see the rest of the car!

Us Joysey guys gotta stick togeddah! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Haha. The rest of the car is my daily driver. It started life as a plain Jane 307/th350/2.73 posi/F41 suspention car. It now has a 400 HP 400 small block,the same th-350,and it had 3.90's but I swapped in some 3.08's. I am building a good 200r4 for it so that I can put the 3.90's back in. I tubbed the car out back in the day,and un-tubbed the car using a clip from a 79,so now I need to put all the sheet metal and trunk floor back to a 1973.

The &quot;born with&quot; 307 in 1989








The 307 lookalike today.





Yup,it makes over 400 HP with the single horn air cleaner. I call this my street racer special setup.

Summer of 89. Between junior and senior year of high school.



Summer of 91.

Just part of what I have to fix the rear clip.





Summer of 92. This is what happens when a 21 year old kid with big dreams and a bunch of cut off wheels gets in over his head.




BTW,this IS NOT a Motion car and has nothing to do with the invoice in my other tread. It just has my little piece of Motion performance on it.

Unfortunately,I had a little set back last month. Driving to work in a sleepy stupor,there was a little mishap. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

I rounded up all the parts to fix it,but just need some time.

[RichSchmidt]

After over 26 years,I am finally happy with the way it looks under the hood. The Motion &quot;Street racer special&quot; package ain't got nuthin on me. I would tell you how fast it is but I would have to kill ya. :-)






I am debating if I should hold out for the correct &quot;long&quot; L-88 hood,or just go with what I have. I already have 2 quarts of base ready to respray the front clip after the damage,so I might just make the leap.

LOL, it's the Camaro cousin to my Gramma's 75 Firebird Esprit. Even the sleeper engine replacement! And the color!
