Default Greetings from Southamerica.

Hello everyone,

I've been a casual reader of this forum for about a year, when I started a project of swapping an LS2 engine with manual transmission into my 1974 Camaro (also, the camaro was modified to look like a 1970 RS some years ago).

I finally decided to be a part of the forum to share experiences, information and other car related things.

I live in capital city of Chile, Santiago and do most of the work on the car by my own or with help of friends. I also founded and manage one of the largest American Cars related forum in my country, "AmericanMuscle.cl" (in spanish).
The Camaro has been with me for 15 years and has suffered many mods during this years. Built the engine a couple times, brakes, suspension, interior, etc.

Now that the LS2 swap is complete I think it needs to refresh the body work, paint and electric and interior work... again.

I'm still struggling with the engine tuneup, but mostly due to lack of time to go out, drive, test and make changes.

This is my favorite pic of the car. This is about 4 years ago. Some changes since this pic is a cowl induction hood and some body damage. I also took the picture.





This is the first look it had from me, back in 2001, black paint and Iroc wheels (fitment issues, I Know).




Engine bay, couple weeks ago





Last week, with some local friends.
