Default New Project

Well most of you must be wondering what i have been doing since i sold my 1994 Camaro Z28. I have been going back and forth on what i have wanted. Right after i sold my car i bought a 1995 Camaro 3.4 V6. My dad, 94trans, and I have been doing the body work on it ever since. The 1995 Camaro is almost done now and ready to be sold for profit. I also bought a 1996 Corvette that was procharged. The corvette went into the transmission shop and my dad had a guy offer him $5000 more than he had in it so he sold it. Next i started looking at newer corevettes and ended up coming across a 2005 jeep rubicon and i got it. Well come to find out insurance on a jeep for a 16 year old kid is not cheap so my parents got rid of it. I am now starting to settle down and ended up buying a 1998 Z28 roller today that i will be dropping a motor trans and rearend into.

Got the new 1998 Camaro Z28 hauled to my house today and got to work cleaning the engine bay so i can paint it this weekend.

Sorry for the crappy pictures. Camera is at a friends house.





UPDATE as of 4/20/08
I started taking apart the dash today because there will be a whole new dash going in. Also starting sanding and treating the rust in the engine bay. Have GM Artic white paint canned so i can paint the engine bay next weekend. I also detailed my brothers WS6.







Update as of May 8th 2008:

LT1 Style SS spoiler
Por-15 on the underbody soon to come.
Repainting engine bay when weather gets better

Well the car doesnt even go into the shop for a week and a half but should only take 2 to 3 days to complete.

This V6 camaro isnt bad to drive around until this is done. I mean with the way gas prices are now this V6 is saving me money for the time being.
