Default My Project Camaro

Here is a little background information on it:

A friend of mine bought this car in March of 2003 from an old lady. He drove it around for about a week then spun a bearing and decided to tear it down to make it a racecar. He got the engine/trans out and took the dash/ac out as well. He bought a new crank and bearings as well as a hotcam but never put the car back together. Now the car has been sitting in his warehouse for almost 4 years and he calls me up asking if I want to buy it all from him. We settle on a price and I went to pick it up.


First time it has been washed in 4 years.



Blew out the interior with an air hose.


Halfway done cleaning the engine compartment.

Yeah, Green!

So what are your plans for it? Looks to be in good shape for sitting for 4 years.

I have to finish cleaning it up first, but here are my general plans for it.

- Mild heads/cam car with bolt-ons (maybe some gas too)
- Sell the T56 setup and put in a built 700r4 with a 3600rpm convertor
- Put my Fiske wheels I have sitting in the garage on it
