93 PPM Camaro restoration(Progress thread) I am pretty new to the boards and I havnt shown my camaro on here because it is a mess.
Story behind the car:
I bought the camaro from a local guy that actually rolled the car over and was going to junk it. I got a really great deal on the car. I figured I needed a good project to keep myself out of trouble. This is my 3rd camaro and I have always loved them so to see this car how it is really hurts me so I hav e dedicated myself to make it look good once again.
****DON'T TELL ME HOW TO SPEND MY MONEY****DON'T TELL ME THAT IM SPENDING TO MUCH MONEY ON MY CAR****
I dont have any pics of how it looked befor I took off the panels (Front Bumper,fenders,roof,Rear bumper, side ground effects)
Wish I did
How it looks now with everything stripped(Almost)

Old rims
Under Body Shot (RUST) Only surface really, will be geting cleaned up
What I got to clean it up: I got a sand blaster and some stuff thats exactly like por 15.
I plan on doing a full suspencion upgrade either through UMI or BMR to replace the nasty rusty stock stuff. I just want to clean the floor and everything I cant buy aftermarket. Thats all the pics I have for now

I have been working on my car alot over the past week trying to remove all of the rust and what not from under the car, Sandblasting and grinding sucks..lol..After all that crap I used my Rust preventive paint, Man is that stuff strong. Supposed to be just as strong as POR 15.
I started to attempt to fix the rear quarter panel that was dented but I think that Im gonna hold off on that and just pay somone to do it, I cant get it round enough like the other side.
The antenna and RS spoiler holes were all welded and covered up. So it will be smooth now
I bought all of the brackets for the 98+ front end conversion this weed so I decided to just Put everything on and see what it would look like. I also need to fix the SS hood that I bought awhile back. The fitment it rough because nothing is really bolted down except for the hood. everything will be coming over over the next month anyway to get realy for paint.
The SS hood was cracked in the front so I cut it out and bought another broken one with a good front to fix mine, Overall I only paid like 300 so its not bad for an OEM SS hood. Fiberglassing that back together will start tomorrow.
Also I bought an AFTERMARKET SS spoiler from ebay a couple weeks back and i am actually quite please with the quality and fitment of it. Comes with everything needed including the 3rd breaklight. All for under 200 shipped.
The entire interior is gutter and painted with the the rust preventive paint.
Enough talking on with the pics.................
