Pure awesome PaulE I love your container yard and especially your maintenance train with those bulldozers and diggers, just amazing indeed with I had a room big enough for a permanent layout , getting all my modules out today depending on how hot it gets . Keep those pics coming . Tony

Bit of a cold snap. Cave is down to 45F, so paint & adhesives don't behave well. Back to the books on the to-do stand.

Paul,
This just gets better and better mate.

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. Will step back from the bench for a bit till the cave warms up. BTW, GM says they'll start building my LT1 next week. Here's hoping for dry pavement when delivered. PaulE

Is there a snow tire option? :tongue-out3: Rick H.

[minitnkr]

No room in trunk for spare so run-flats are stock. I could not find 20" snow tires to fit w/i wheel wells.:disappointed:PaulE

[stillp]

OK, I'll be the first - what's an LT1?
Pete

The LT1 model was introduced in 2020 as a more affordable V8 Camaro, as the SS Camaro was pretty pricey with all the std. features. The 2021 LT1 is available w/o SS features. Mine is black w/gray interior, graphics delete, air effects delete, 6spd. std. trans., 3.73 rear gear, 460hp 6.2L V8, & variable exhaust (open exhaust cutouts). The results looks like a 'plain Jane' Camaro. This should satisfy my need for speed at an affordable price. PaulE

Glad Pete asked what it was, cheers mate.

Gotcha on the tires Paul...same goes for me 'vette. if you could get run flats in snow tread they would prolly break the bank.......I might have one more season on mine and then it's time to "pay the Piper" for some new rubber.......I shudder to think of it. Oh and pics. plz. when your new "Toy" comes in. :thumb2: Rick H.

[minitnkr]

Rick, saw a report on relative costs between run-flats & regular tires, including tows for failures. Regular tires are the way to go if you are close to cities where relatively short response times are normal. Maybe not in Montana. PaulE

[Mini Me]

I'm sticking with the run flats, I have had excellent performance, mileage and peace of mind.......besides I'm more than a little ways from town......half way up the mountain, truth be told. Rick H.
