I just wanted to say hello to everyone, prior to picking all of your brains about knowledge that is second nature to you. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I'm learning more every day. After five years of waiting, I found and purchased my project '67 camaro in April. We found a pretty decent car, and already pulled the engine because it had a 'tic' when we bought it. We were planning on rebuilding the engine anyway, so the chipped piston didn't really throw us off that much.

I have a thread in the small block chevy engine room about the current process. The hard part which I've already noticed, is that I'm having a hard time putting extra money into certain aspects of the engine and other parts, because I want to get it on the road a.s.a.p. For now I'm driving my beater commuter car, and can't wait until the camaro is up and running. I've got a 350 that just got bored .040 over. We're starting with the engine, and after that will come the new paint job. I'm looking at going a rust, or copper orange, with gun metal gray racing stripes. The car is just going to be a weekend car, and maybe make it to the drags once in a blue moon.

Anyways I just want to thank all of you who have already given me advice on the engine, and I'm looking forward to updating my project pics on the site.
