As ambitious teenagers often do, he pestered and pleaded to get a ride in that jewel, and with some time and no lack of determination, he eventually befriended his neighbor and was given a ride in his pride and joy. Every time the old BBC turned over, it pulled at Slow\\u2019s heartstrings.

That is, until a divorce came along. Fifteen years after his first introduction to the car, Slow recieved a text from the Camaro\\u2019s owner with a set of cryptic numbers and nothing else. When inquired, the owner responded with a reluctant \\u201cthat\\u2019s what I want for the Camaro. Come and get it before I change my mind.\\u201d  Slow\\u2019s dream had come true, but with one major caveat: the car was in pieces. The part-out process was not as the owner had wanted it to go, and amidst the mess of a divorce, he let it go for a good deal. So the transaction was made, and the former childhood icon now laid in a million bits scattered across Slow\\u2019s garage floor. He might\\u2019ve had second thoughts about his purchase at that point.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image06.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38300&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;However, along with the Camaro came a stock block BBC, a TH400, DOT tires, and plenty of potential to keep him going through the arduous build process. Which he would need; the interior was totally stripped, looking a bit like Dresden. Only a tachometer and some matte Autometer style-gauges popped up from the rubble below.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image03.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38297&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Fortunately, the primered body was in good shape, and only needed a mid of modification to the doors to be in pristine condition. Slow added some Harwood enlarged wheel openings and a fiberglass cowl from Glasstek measuring 6\\u201d before deferring to Adkins Racecars for the major chassis tweaks.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image00.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38294&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Slow knew his strengths and his weaknesses, and wisely stepped back to let the shop pull the suspicious-looking rear crossmember and bind up a four-link setup to accommodate the new suspension pieces and mounts.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image02.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38296&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;After his painter had established a paint date two weeks in the future, Slow waited eagerly with the miserable Ohio winter cramping his style. To make a cold winter even colder, his painter suffered a heart attack on Christmas Eve. Certainly not an auspicious start for a remarkable build, but the painter was in decent health and after a speedy recovery, applied a couple coats of Chrysler Deep Cherry Crystal Coat.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image05-1024x686.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38299&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Next came the trim, and the cowl hood.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image04-1024x576.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38298&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;The aesthetics mainly in order, Slow turned to getting the drivetrain settled. He sent the motor off to a local builder to make a few tweaks. Nothing too special\\u2014just a .060-over 454 with some decent heads and a small cam. Specifically, he opted for a .060 JE Pistons, 11:1 compression, JEG\\u2019s 320cc aluminum heads, a Comp Cams hydraulic camshaft with .640 lift, Edelbrock Victor JR intake, and a Holley 750cfm carburetor.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image09-1024x682.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38303&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;With the fuel system in working shape, Slow turned the cherry red Camaro over for the first time, and experienced it moving under its own power for the first time in years. Now, to effectively put the power down and give the car a little retro-cool, he threw on a set of Drag Lites.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/04\\\/image08-1024x768.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38302&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Slow\\u0026#8217;s Pro Street \\u0026#8217;67 Camaro&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Pro Street Camaro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;To keep everything in check, a set of Wilwood brakes were packed underneath the Billet Specialities Comp 5 wheels.
