Many of my loyal readers are wondering why there hasn't been an update in...well...a long time. After the wheels were done and another Camaro Superfest award for 2006 was on the wall, I started to think about the future.
With the 2009 Camaro on the way, I wanted to make sure that I had the financials to get one and do it up right, my way. So, after many weeks of agonizing decision making, I sold my 2002 Camaro SS in the fall of 2006. It went to someone who assured me it would be well taken care of and you might see it around the state of Virginia and at various f-body car shows.
I won't be making many updates to this site for a while until my next Camaro is in my garage, but I will be leaving it up for those who want to check out what I did to the 2002 and to make minor updates about my daily driver Jeep. Please feel free to join my mailing list if you haven't already, but the updates will be very few and far between until 2009. Until then, catch me on CamaroZ28.Com or listen to Chris Frezza and I every week on the CamaroZ28.Com Podcast.
I want to thank everyone for the kind words that were offered about my 2002 Camaro. If you thought it was a kick ass car, just wait until you see what I have planned for my next one.

P.S. Don't forget to grab a set of SmoothLocks. :-)

Prototype wheels are on: FInally, the prototype wheels were completed and mounted. Click the images to the left to see for yourself. This is just the beginning, more pics and additional details to come in the near future.
New headers: I took my car to Advanced Powersports in Clinton Township, MI to install a set of Quick Time Performance long tube headers and y-pipe. The fit and finish cannot be beat. These are hands down the best premium stainless LS1 header on the market.
Another 1st place win! This year, my Camaro took first place at the 2005 Camaro Superfest in the '98-'02 Modified category. It was a very narrow victory, my friends who took 2nd and 3rd gave me a serious run for my money. |
Spring is on the way again! Good, because Michigan winter sucks. Lots of things have been planned over the past few months for the Camaro and they are looking to be finally coming together. Heads and cam are just about finalized and a nitrous kit is on the way with a lot more beyond that. Oooh...it is gonna be good.
If you have been reading these entries for a decent amount of time, you will know that I have been struggling with getting some new wheels for my Camaro. From poor fitment of one style to just being unable to decide on another. After two years, my solution has arrived. I am not able to mention many details at this point, but what it came down to is since I wanted it done my way, I had to do it myself. Chew on that for a while and be sure to join my newsletter for updates.
As far as the Jeep, it got me through another trouble-free winter. It might be old, it might ride rough and it might not have heated seats and cupholders and a built-in toilet behind the 4th row of seating, but it can power through snow with the best of them. It is due for a tune-up and some maintenance. Not bad after 87k miles.
Happy Holidays! A few updates here and there:
Most will think that I am out of my mind. Why? First
of all, I have had my car for over 2 years now, and I have only
put a little over 3,700 miles on it. To a purist, there
is nothing wrong with this. To a driver and enthusiast,
this is an absolute tragedy. I like to consider myself
more of an enthusiast, but sometimes I catch myself wondering.
We'll see what happens...
The competition was fierce at Camaro
SuperFest this year. My car was in better shape than
last year when I took 1st place, but this year I only took fourth.
Looks like I have my work cut out for me over the next
few months.
However, I don't think I am going to start with the outside.
I am planning on adding pretty decent head and cam package
to my car, and then work on a set of wheels.
I have been looking at new wheels for my car since before
I bought it, and I think it is about time that I make up my
mind. More to come.
Trunk SmoothLocks are now available and ready to
ship!
The nice part is they are 17mm, which fits MANY vehicles.
Newer GM trucks, Corvettes, etc.
Click here to check them out and to place an order!
In other news, my SLP Smooth Bellows came in. 5 minutes
after I removed it from the box, it iwas installed. I
can't tell how much additional power it makes, but it looks
a lot better.
Camaro
SuperFest is coming up fast, and I plan to kick ass
again.
You may be asking, "Okay, so what's up with the car?".
So far, the weather this year has been terrible, which
makes cruising around no fun.
In the meantime, I have some cool pics and info about my new
ported throttle body.
I also placed an order for an SLP
Smooth Bellows, but it is unfortunately on backorder.
Got SmoothLock?
My little appearance modificiation has really gotten some attention.
Everyone seems to like the fact that something so small
and inexpensive can make such a big visual difference. For
anyone who has SmoothLocks on their car, you can now put a cool
image link on your site to let people know where to get them.

Spring is again on the way! I hope to be pulling the Camaro
out of storage soon!
Speaking of which, I updated the Camaro
page with a better version of the image often used on this
site. You can also downoad a cool Windows desktop wallpaper
of it.
I also (finally!) added some images of the Jeep
Cherokee with the 3" lift kit. Check it out!
A new site for PhantomSS.Com. Let me know what you think!
You an still view the old bland site here.
More changes coming soon. Hopefully more photos of the cars
plus a cool t-shirt design or two for the store. Stay tuned!
