Before and After pics

Well to start off I bought my car from a scrap yard, about 4 years ago, Me and my dad worked on it for roughly a year, because i was still in school and under 16. I had to change or clean almost everything on the car, for my b-day and christmas i got parts for it. I acquired parts from local swap meets and a few donor cars. But all in all it was a great learning expeireince. Here are a few pics of the before.

Thanks for all the complents guys, as far my handy work is concerned, Ive been around cars and such since I was prob 6 or 7 yrs old. The one thing that I love doing is fabricating parts, such as my sub frame connector, boxing rear control arm, and other numerous things. But I cant take all the credit I owe a few people for my bodywork and motor skill, and Ive learned most of my metal working skill from my friend Ben. Plus he can weld, not saying I cant, but mine just dont look as good as his.

The paint scheme was my dad's idea, its been completed for about 3 years now, and its still the only car that looks that way around here, and trust me there are alot of camaros around here.

Not to bad of a car bought for 500 bucks, I think I have a total of around 2500 in it.

That really looks awsome. I love the red/black color scheme. Course I'm a little biased on that!
