1967 Camaro RS

I've been recovering from the motorcycle accident over the past few weeks, and just haven't had the enthusiasm to post anything lately. I know...pretty lame excuse, but the leg is still hurting and I don't want to blog about that. Damn, I just did it.
Anyway, I traded the '64 Stingray for a sweet 1967 Camaro RS. It is a numbers matching car that has been totally restored, and looks great. I've got a bunch of great photos to post of the restoration, maybe I'll make a video or slideshow with them. (Thanks Mike!) 

The previous owner, that would be Mike, did a great job on the body work, however there were a few things I had to fix. The radiator must have had a leak, because it was full of Bars Leak, and he added an electric fan to compensate for the resulting overheating of that crap in the cooling system. A good flushing, new thermostat and new radiator, and now she sits at 160. He also had installed an Edelbrock carb, and you need to install a  Edelbrock #9266 heat insulator gasket on those things like I did with the '71 Chevelle or the fuel will percolate when it gets hot, making hot starting a bitch. I fixed both of those items today.

The RS hideaway lights were not functioning correctly, and after a ton of research, I found out that they were wired incorrectly. The system on the '67 is electric with 3 relays and 4 limit switches and a flux-capacitor....man it is a pain to get right. I finally has it, and all I needed to do was to remove the drivers side motor and tighten up the bolt after shimming it up. Yup, I broke it. Snapped that sucker right in half. So, I'm of to the swap meet to find a new one this weekend.
