Well not a celebrity by any means but he did end up on discovery channel so long story short the show Wheeler Dealers and there crew came to sacramento to buy a 67/69 camaro for there show to build and sell..the owner of the show Mike ended up at Super muscle parts asking for locals with old camaros and hot rods who would come to sac raceway for some filming,well my dad got a call and showed up with 2/3 customer cars and his 427 fastback,the camaro the shows host drives down the track is a recent car we finished last year and runs a H/C ls2/6spd/Fab9..dude couldn't drive that great but it was a fun day never thought it would actually end up on tv lol yes my dads the big dude talking about the fastback,the ONLY ford that day btw The show airs August 7th@9pm on Velocity..

Awesome! Love the show. Though, I would have given Mike some shit for his Corvette C4 episode where he said American cars are known for their dodgy electrics. WTF? I guess he forgot about Lucas Electrics.

Lol go check all the 5 other vids I got on my YouTube account he can def shift believe that bud that pass broke the cheap lokar gas pedal hence the shit run,he was also on street tires with an un prepped track...it's gone a best of 11.80s at 120mph never can get a solid 60ft' out of it on slicks or DRs the car also sways waaaayyy to much on et streets,TCP Alston suspension isn't the easiest to dial in..

Yes he does also the pinion angle is set,he's been a rear end/gears guy for 20+ years its not in that department we think its in the struts/coil spring weigh but qa1 struts being ridiculous $$ and the car not being a drag car he could care less the car on the street is ridiculous with the power and very easy to drive..it would go 10s I'm sure with some skinnies and the 300 pounds worth of stereo takin out of it,more seat time and minor tweaks...

^ Right on. Well it's still fast, looks great & sounds damn good too. Did he run 2.5 or 3" out back? I know that kit is a little on the tight side in the rear with tail pipes....... But deff not impossible to fab up.
