Default sorta a newbie..

Hey everyone, My names paul, and i have a 2001 Camaro SS. I'n in northern NJ and ive been a member here for a few months but just recently started posting since i have alot of stuff to sell and i dont meet the requirements for the classifieds section yet. Back in 2001 or so i was over on LS1.com a bit then i got tired of the "i'm faster, i'm better BS" Ive been into f bodies since i was 17 and do date i've had over 30, many of them were to be parts cars though. I bought my '01 SS new in august of 2001, then last summer, the motor blew due to bad fuel, a diesel mix, That hyrdolocked my motor and snapped #1 rod, taking out the block, pan and steering rack with it. Currently the car is still apart but should be back together within the month, with some basic upgrades. I have a full stereo system installed and appearence mods such as "berger" stripes and rear panel, clear front directionals, export taillights, export rear bumper, intrax springs, and spohn rear suspension. i'll try to post some pics soon, but most are old or when the car was just sitting for a year. I sell on ebay as SmokingSS and i'm also a very active member of www.njfboa.org (new jersey f body owners association). Ok well i think thats enough for now.. if anyone has any questions, just ask.

Here are some pics of the car, this is during last winter when it just sat with the blown motor. Then there is a pic of the damage to the block and the broken rod.
