I Am Comfortable In Believing I Am Not Insane...

...however, to the average person it must appear I am. I just received the smog system today from Bill Hodel for my 69 Camaro. The original is long gone. Here I am with my eyes glazed over and a big stupid grin on my face looking all goofy, peering at this beautiful all original set up Bill sent me. To the average soul, it would seem insane that I could think this is so neat and would pay so much for it.

Doesn't Bill do awesome work? A restored original system including the hoses and clamps. Almost a shame to put it on a car (Brian and Joe won't look at it that way).

If you don't mind, I'd be curious to see what I would have to shell out for this. It is one of the few things that I need for the L78.

Dan,
Bill has some options for smog systems. One is a very nice system with some repro parts for, I believe, around 1600 bucks. The system in the PIC above is all original with no repro parts and includes original hoses and was 4500 bucks.
Regards,
Mark

That makes two of us...

but now since you posted a photo of the smog system, you have to post pictures of the Camaro...

I am going to let this one fly under the radar until the boyz in Latrobe are finished with it. That will be a good time to post PICS.

------Mark,,,I grew up the next town over from Bill in Ohio and he is the real deal. You cant possibly meet a better, more straight forward, honest guy. You just cant! Hes found a nitch and he has taken advantage of it and is doing well and yet treats everyone as if they are the only one hes doing business with. Always absolutely fair. I always just send him whatevever smog stuff comes with the car (if any) and just let him tell me what I need.

I think many of us on this board suffer from the same type of 'insanity', just some to a greater degree than others....

We are all sane... if we talk to one another about these things... it's when you tell one of them... you know "the outsiders" about our smog systems and phosphate plating and bolt head markings that the men in the white coats start coming for us.
