Wow... the car looks even better than it did when it left our shop.
My boss sold the Camaro to the guy that Kirt bought it from.
I built the rear-end and ordered all the parts.
12-Bolt Chevy Chevelle housing.
New $295.00 Moser axles, 3" stud kit, wheel bearings installed, Moser housing ends, 33 spline spool, new bearing kit, new 1350 yoke, new Zoom 4.88 gears, new ladderbar brackets for the housing and new coil over brackets for the housing.
It also has new 32" Art Morrison ladder bars and new track locater that I didn't bolt on because the solid coilover simulators kept the body from moving side to side. The track locater brackets are installed, though and the track locater is still right where I put it when the car was picked up from our shop... right beside the drivers seat next to the rocker panel.
I still have the Moser axle stickers in my tool box at the shop because I forgot to put them on.
Moser used to cast "M/E" on the axle ends (my race car has Moser axles from the early 1990's with M/E casted) but they now put stickers on the end like Mark Williams axles have and so on.
It also had stock Chevelle drum brakes that went with the car, but not installed.
The wheels and tires shown in the pictures were the ones I put on the car.
It also has tubular front upper control arms from Speedway Motors with new upper ball joints and a new manual S-10 steering box.
It was set up for a BB Chevy and TH400 trans.
Has a 5 gallon fuel cell and rear mount batteries.
The "cracks" mentioned on the rear I think I can explain... when the rear wheel wells were extended and the "NEW" rear tail light panel was installed, the grey primer that was used was bad!!! When it dried, it started cracking.
The same can of primer was also accidently used on a hood we were working on for someone else.... when it dried it started cracking. I have since thrown away that can of primer so it won't get used again!!!
I'm not a body man, so I can't explain what was up with the primer... I just know what happened.
The car left our shop with NO front clip sheet metal....... looks nice with the front clip on it in metal!!!
The fenders, nose and hood were bought NEW by the guy that bought the car from my boss.
Not sure who installed them on the car? Kirt possibly, while he had it???
Remember... any used race car parts or engine parts are only worth .50 cents on the dollar.
I have no idea how much $ the intended buyer/trader had in his motor.
I felt like I needed to reply in this topic to help clear some issues up.
I'm not taking sides on this issue because the intended buyer of the Camaro knows me.
I would like to say, however, that I don't think the car was misrepresented and at least the gas money should be paid back to Kirt.
You would have spent gas money to drive down to look at the car... which is actually what you needed to have done.
It seems like Kirt made it clear in the e-mail he posted in this topic that if there's ANY reservations on doing the deal for the buyer to speak up before the trip was made.
Sight-un-seen deals are tough to do!!!
A couple of years ago, I did a trade for my current race car that was for sale here on racing junk.
I went over to look at the car, then the seller came over to look at the car I wanted to trade him. We came to an agreement, and THEN the cars were traded and delivered.
Good trades can be made on racing junk if they're done right.
