His plate is GLUMAKR not King Cater. My forum name is not my plate, neither is his. He is playing upon a Camaro - Mustang rivalry....saying that his car sends cars (with horse names) to the glue factory because that's what they do with dead horses...turn them into glue.

His plate essentially means Mustang killer.

Some of us are a little thick...

Thanks man! Yeah since I bought it they have gone up in price, but you can still find a nice one like mine for 4500-5500. For me the car is worth more that its worth cuz I have ALOT of time and money put into it. Actually I have a little too much money put into it but its unique and I love it so whatever

I'm not a fan of the 98-02 ws6 hoods on these, I like the 93-97 ws6 hoods those fit the car. As far as lowering it some more I agree but I wont cut my springs it will ride worse and handle worse. I wonder if anyone makes a even lower kit for it? there Ebiach sportlines, but it doesnt look low enough, o well I love it.

As for your car I think it would be worth a solid 5500-6500 once your done with it, considering you'll have a nice 350 with a WCt5 combo. Not alot but way more than they used to be worth I think the camaro's are more sot after that the firebirds of this year.
