Default Well the camaro is going down for the count..

Yup! i finally decided to put the camro down. It was up until recently my daily driver so i didnt really have a choice. But now i have another DD and the Z can get some much needed attention. I will be doing a build/restoration thread, so i hope some of you follow along. It will be a few months before i get started thought. I need to save up some dough and finish my shop. But i will be updating allong the whole process. SO whish me luck fellas!
