We finished the rear of the BumbleBee Camaro today.

I know the car is supposed to be a POS like the car in the first Transformers movie, and it is. I paid $900 for it and put another $500 in it. I gave it to my daughter Kylie, she loves it. We added black vinyl stripes but they were peeling off the trunk and spoiler and taking the paint with them. It looked awful. I sanded down the trunk lid, bumper, spoiler and a few rusty spots on the fenders. We got some paint to match after 2 tries. That was another $500. Today we painted the rear stripes on. She loves to race it in the 1/8th mile and I'm having a new 350 built for it. The car runs great as is but "Mo power baby!" The builder says it will be a 383 stroker, based on an old 4-bolt main 350 I had. He says it will be 475 hp/475/tq. Holy Sheeet! I have a posi for it but I think it will need to be rebuilt.


We did work on the 71 Charger today. I'm afraid the 727 is shot. It's okay I have another to swap in.

So great to see you passed along the old car itch to your daughter Steve
Seems to be less and less heard of these days unfortunately.
