Default Build Thread...sort of

So I have decided to finally try and take care of all the rust issues that I have with my car as well as some minor body work and do some weight reduction with the car. I know there are a number of threads like this but I thought I would make my own.

I'm basically making similar changes like Mike (Black1994z28) and hopefully he will be helping me with some of the work as well.

So far I have:
Removed all of the interior parts from the car including carpet, seats, dash (which was a BITCH!), and I plan on cutting out the front part of the driver's side floor pan today.

Plans:
- Weld in new driver's side floor pan
- Fix rust/scratches on the body
- Install Glasstek 4" cowl hood
- Install new wheel studs for the Weld Wheels (have SpeedInc install rears)
- Put everything all back together

I'd like to get my heads and intake ported by LE, finish the suspension, and get a dynotune but I have to wait till I graduate this year and get a full-time job before I drop more money into the car.

I will also try to post up pictures ASAP, the camera is at my gf's house right now.

Well Im more than happy to help you whenever, but it is easier if you can bring the car to my place since half the time my garage time is spur of the moment and it does seem rare that I have much free time these days as Im helping my neighbor with his Honda Prelude (prepping it for paint) my buddys 92 RS Camaro, working between my 91 and 94 Camaros, and I still have the GTO (which Im looking at finding storage somewhere where I can forget about it, going to save that for a retirement project since by then I will have the funds to do the car the way I will be happy with.

But as always, my labor is always free (or do take donations in the form of Mountain dew or car parts lol)
