Default Project "Thor" Camaro...lots of pics

Well I finally decided to start my own build thread. Just a warning this will probably be one of the slowest builds here but here it goes anyways. Guess I will start at the first, I have had the car since I was 18 so almost 10 yeas now been through many stages over the years. About 3years ago built a 408 for the car and got it going pretty good then but only about 4k miles later lost oil pressure driving home one night. Had the the car towed home and didn't touch it for awhile, between ex girlfriends, moving a couple times, building a home, and family death. The car just got put on the back burner. About a year ago I finished my shop and started back working on the car when time and money allow me to. I take as many pics as I thought about it along the way and will post more as I go. Really don't have too many goals with the car, just mainly want a good "street car/race car". Main goal I have always wanted is a single digit time slip. So I started off with that goal in mind and should have no problem with that at all, on paper the car should run way better than that when completed. So I will shut up now and let the pics tell the story as I go from the start till the way it sits now. Let me know what you think.

Here is a couple before pics.
