hey guys, i have not been on here for a while because of school and work. But now i have found some time to chill down a little. Well i here is the updates on my car/car(s). I sold the F-150 for $900 and i bought it for $800. It just took up space and used WAY to much gas. I did not put any money in it but gas so i probly broke even on that deal. All i did to it was take it mudding and do 4wd burnouts,lol. The camaro is still running strong. I fixed the over heating problem. It was the cooling fan switch between the 6th and 8th cylender under the exhaust manifold. Over the past two weeks here is what i put in it. New starter,cooling fan switch,thermo (160), fan relay,oil change, grease whole under car,and cooling temp switch,new 235/60/15's in front with the same 295/50/15's in back,along with lots of gas,lol. I now go to a vocational High School so i am in auto shop. We have three lifts, one you drive up on (the alinment rack), and two of the 2 post lifts. That where i do most of my work on my car now. I have also saved up the money to get it painted. I am just wating till spring so we don't get any more snow so it is safe to paint. Sorry about the long post, but there my update.

Sounds good. But I thought you were going a different route withe the car, like a different engine or something. I don't completely remember. But why did you go with such smaller tires on the front than the rear?

Yea i am looking for a LT1 or LT4 block so i can rebuild it but that will go in later down the road. And i put the 235's in front because 295's will not fit and allow me to turn. I think i am goin to put 245's all the way around on it when they wear down. The 295's were for traction and looks. I wish i would have gotten 235/50's instead of 60's because every once in a while if i am turning all the way one way and i hit a bump some times the fronts will rub a tiny bit. And i still got the LT1 cam in my room ready to go in just need some more time and a sunny day and i also need to buy my valve springs still.
