Figured I'd drop a line and say hi! This is my 86 camaro that Ive been working relentlessly on for the past year and a half to go from trash - to respectable. Still havent done the engine and drivetrain yet (due to being in college) but Im planning it all out as of now. Well until then, here's some pics of the first 20k or so dollars Ive put into her, comments or suggestions welcome. Love the site, and all the rides on here!
Oh, and here's what it used to look like

I was gonna ask to see some old pics but you posted some. you car looks awsome. so what are the plans for her. if you put that much money into how she looks you have to be cooking up something pretty dam good.

I always love to see a third gen taken care of, i love the look of those cars. Whats the plan for the "go"?? Can't wait to here then considering how much you spent for the "show". Looks great though!

Thanks for all the nice compliments everyone....I do have a few good ideas about what to drop under the hood, and in due time it'll get there....unfortunatly Im pre-med in school so funds are a little low these days, but I imagine sometime around next summer/early fall Ill have something nice ready to go in (hoping force-inducted lsx) I still might swap in a 4th gen dash and door panels though so we'll see
. As far as how much I spent so far, take in consideration that the paintjob alone was about half of the total amount invested....candy isnt cheap. Throw in the custom coddingtons, complete suspension makeover, some interior parts, hood and spoiler....it's not hard to see how people refer to f-bodies as a disease....cant stop spending
