Default New guy from Eastern Iowa

Hello from North Liberty, Iowa, my name is George. Hope everybody's Christmas was good! I signed up a few years ago and am pretty sure this is my first post. I spend time on pro-touring.com, lateral-g.net, nastyz28.com regularly.

I am building a 1980 Camaro pro touring influence, mini-tubbed w/ 4 link, coil-overs all around. Plans are wide open for engine and trans, but expect to go LS and auto. The car is a ground up build. I have included my rendering.

I look forward to hearing from members here!

Thanks,
George

I have 76 skylark 2dr hatchback. It now has 06 Silverado L33 5.3/4L65E. Motor all aluminum and in stock for now. I used a 98-02 Camaro radiator electric fan set up. Set of shorty headers hooked up to jegs 2 1/2 dual exhaust kit. I also have squarebody 88 chevy truck. It was far easiest to get motor in. It has 06 iron block 5.3/4L60E in it. Same shorty headers fit it well too. Im in alburnett 319-202-0216 Richard if want to chat.

Happy new year Richard!

I like your swaps. I want to add a 73-80 square body to my gang of cars someday. I'll give you a call.

Thanks,
George
