<!!Epitome's Rebuild!!>




CLICK ON A THUMBNAIL TO SEE AND READ ABOUT THE REBUILD OF OUR HUNTER 34: EPITOME'.

And photos #134-#393 have been added with a BRIEF discussion of my '69 Camaro.

Did I mention that I bought my car new just like Epitome'? Yep, never sold either one. My Camaro has been kept in much better locations than Epitome' over the years.


Epitome' being off-loaded for the start of her 'make-over'.

Here's a video of our first burnout after the winter update



Here's the return trip. Scary. Especially after all that work. Wouldn't want to start over.



And here's a strip-trip from 6/2/7. Now to find more speed and ET.



And this is two weeks later in June. It's the fastest and quickest my car has ever gone; 12.28 @109.42. But there's so much more. Got lotsa ideas.



And this was faster yet, on 7-6-7. A 12.13@111.89. (see below)



(and in a couple of more races this summer the car has turned 12.10's and 112's. It's flat. Won't run with a surge just below the shift-points. Put it on a dyno yesterday (9-26-07), and the power-curve is just like at the track. The Projection4 is too small! But the car's never run better. Last race; first week of October. Still hope for the 11's.)
UPDATE; I DID IT! 11.90! Speed's in the lower teens! Over the winter a new injection system is in the works, and a new cam too. (maybe)
Check out the new fuel injection at the end of the Camaro film strips. I made it to the first race of the season in mid March and ran a all time best of 11.89 @113.76. Now if it would just quit snowing!
Update; Last race of the season for me was in September '09. Last run of the day was a 11.59et. Nothing was changed except for the tires since the first run after the rebuild two years ago. I guess that's called tuning.
And I've removed the dreaded Super Comp headers. I found Mickey Thompson Super Scavengers for my car in reproduction. They're identical to my original set. Check out picture #343 and up for a look.
UPDATE! 6-10-10. The new Lunati solid roller is in with a Comp shaft rocker system. Preliminary tests are starting at 11.50 @ 120.85. Now to get to tuning.

June 29, 2010. Now we're at 11.05 and 123+mph. Roll bar time! The track is gonna yell any minute. Here's a slightly slower run. Love to see the Wheelies.
