Oh it has been quiet in hear!



just sitting on JFK and waiting on my flight back to Austria. Spent 2 weeks in Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo and New York.



also visited the Ames Performance Pontiac Nationalson SummitRacing Motorsport park in Norwalk.



at the Oberhead Vammer Chapter reunion dinner my project received a long distance award and on Saturday I was nominated to judge 4 ohc6 cars - Firebird, LeMans, Tempest and modified!



I will post some show pictures and track racimg action the next days and hopefully a running Omega!

If car enthusiasts are also audiophiles, than I am!

1st switch on of the audio system (first I ever installed myself)

Great present, my wife found one for my '80 Cutlass a few years back. Saw the feature of your car in JWO too, beautiful Omega!

I swear your car is one of my favorite builds. You cared about what you wanted and nothing else. Your car is so unique. It has turned out so nice. You should be so proud of your build.

We are coming closer! Fuel lines installed till engine compartment. And my brother added some color 😁🤩


The experience and creativity of my brother can not be paid!! 2 blue parts together are actually a holder for hydraulic hoses from a Havester. 😍

Exhaust system installed! Has been some work and quite some modifications needed but I love the result!

Tomorrow we will start the engine!
