Chevrolet Performance, the high-performance parts division of Chevrolet, has announced that it will increase its contingency payouts to those who race in NHRA-sanctioned events using Chevrolet Performance parts while displaying the brand’s decals.

Says Jim Campbell, General Motors U.S. Vice President of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports, “Chevrolet has a long history of supporting NHRA drag racers and our 2014 contingency program rewards sportsman and Pro Stock racers for top performances. When you race with Chevrolet Performance parts and display our decals, you are eligible for a contingency payout that can be reinvested in your race team.”

Barber Motorsports Park is providing the backdrop this week as Chevrolet introduces its new Camaro Z/28 to journalists from top auto enthusiast magazines.

About 100 people are visiting Birmingham and the park over a 10-day span, including Chevrolet engineers, as well as writers, photographers and videographers for Motor Trend, Road & Track, Car and Driver, Hot Rod and others.

A simple and inexpensive way to tighten and seal up your Camaro is to replace the weatherstripping. This cowl and roof rail weather stripping will give a tight seal that cuts down on wind noise.

Parts Needed:

• WS-4: 68-69 Roof rail weather strip with molded ends

• WS-100: 67-69 Hood to cowl seal

Tools you will need:

1. Saw or Dremel Tool

1. 200 plus grit sandpaper

1. 10 mm socket

First off, you will need a fuel door off a 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Even though the door looks like it’s made of billet, it’s aluminum.

One inexpensive and simple way to tighten and seal up your Camaro is to replace the weatherstripping! These door and trunk weatherstrip pieces are correct to give you an exact fit on your car, attaching with the original style pins and screws.

Parts Needed:

• WS-2: 68-69 Door weatherstrip w/molded ends

• WS-5: 67-81 Trunk weatherstrip

If you’ve invested in lowering springs for your 4^th Gen Camaro or Firebird...

Have you always loved the blacked-out tail panel look that appears on the Berger Camaros?

This 1973 Camaro RS Z/28 clone (a real RS, not a Z/28)had been sold to two good friends in Australia, but they both found other projects in OZ to take on instead. So, after 5 years of sitting around and collecting parts, I decided to do something with it. I named it Project Boomerang because it just kept coming back!

I’ve owned this Camaro for the past eleven years– I purchased it at the Spring Daytona swap meet in March of 2002. I had decided I wanted a project car to work on, as I had always wanted a ‘69 Camaro for that exact purpose. My plan was to work on the project as funds became available. I thought that it would take as little as 5 years, (depending on the condition of the car, of course). As I walked around the Daytona Swap Meet that day it looked like I wasn’t going to find my project car. All the Camaros found were already restored and were commanding at least $35-$40 thousand dollars.
