As I remember it, I think your car ( 67,8,9 Camaro) was in primer back in the mid to late 70's at the Patch. Didn't need paint way back then.............

I agree Joe, which is why I gave him kudos for the great (against the norm) cars he's raced over the years. Actually, I wish he was here in my neck of the woods, because his knowledge of engines for the slower rollers could be helpful in getting my car to run quick enough against the index, to make a run at Indy (with todays warped minded qualifying and class win structure), seem like a worthy investment. Used to be that you could win your class, by just beating your class opponent (or the index by the same .5 that would give you a national record), and you'd be in the final field at Indy. Now you need to win a runoff against other single class racers, and you best be able to qualify in the top 128, or you wasted your time/money/effort to even show up there.

At least I know that if I had Billy's knowledge to help with my cars prep, I wouldn't lose because my car wasn't quick enough, I'd probably have to detune it so the ahfs wouldn't punish my hp factor to make me uncompetitive again...I'd rather deal with that though...lol.
