Re: 1969 Camaro "Yenko" Clone

Ok, so to start off, it has been doin nothing but raining here for the last week or two, we have had a ton of rain, and has been hard to get the parts out for primer and powdercoat, so the last bit I have been finishing up sandblasting all the little parts and getting that done, man was there ever alot of pieces, hours and hours worth. oh well. After that i got the rest done for powder coating, man it is going great everything is getting done!!!! I finished up the the throttle pedal and modified it for the linkage, got the heater box modded for the firewall mod, everything is awesome.

Friday was the day to get some parts to the body shop for paint and primer, then I had to meet up with the powdercoated as everything was going to north battleford for this process. This place is about 1.5hrs away. Anyways I currently do not have a truck so I went and borrowed a friends truck thursday nite, at 11 that nite i figured I would try the lights out, NOTHING WORKED!!!! So that morning I ph'd another friend to borow his truck, no problem, went with the one truck and got another one. Then went over to my brothers and got the enclosed trailer, got everything hooked up and pulled away. well that did not work, the brakes locked up and I drug the trailer. SO I ran to my brothers work place with this trucka and grabbed my brothers avalanche. Went back and away we go, FINAY after 2 hours had the trailer ready to rock. Problem on truck one, no lights, truks two problem, no trailer brake control, and finally the rest was history once we got the third truck.

So after a day of screwing around, I got around to returning 2 of the trucks. I returned the 2nd truck and sat down with him and had a beer, well, i went to leave and return the 1st truck and reached into my pocket for the keys, HA. NO KEYS, somewhere along the path during that day I lost the keys for the truck OOPS!!!!! I ph'd my bud and he did nothing but laugh at me. so I guess tomorrow night we have to either find a key for it at his parents house or we hot wire it, one of the two. All in all it was an interesting day and turned out kinda funny in the end.

Anyways sorry for the rant and on to pics. BTW THANKS TYLER, JASON AND MY BROTHER JASON FOR THE USE OF THE TRUCKS. Ans sorry for the keys tyler. On to pics.
