ya there everywhere till u start looking for one, then u cant find one. This car used to be a nice car back in june, then the tranny went, which was right after the motor had been rebuilt, then his daughter waxed it and didnt get all the wax off so it baked and faded. Then in july he wrecked it. Car has rust though, which is odd to see around here. I havent yet owned one with any rust except this one now. Oh well none of my parts i need are rusty. I looked at it tonight closely and looks like all it needs is a serious alignment and tie rods and a idler arm

Uhhh, have you looked at that left front wheel? It looks a little fubarred.

Plus, now you've opened up this thread to "Man, those wheels are ugly on a Camaro" comments. I think that's what Mark was hinting at.

Well you at least made it look very very Sweet dude.

I got a 91GTA with the vented fender's Ramair2 hood and the notch back hatch.
But i did swappin the fireBird tail light's cause i think they look better well brighter anyway.....

I'm trying to con my buddy knightRider350 into heading up north with me just alittle 400 mile trip no biggie.... to take some pic's of it..... trust me tho it's sweet.

it's got a dual duce injected 406TBi it's going to rip some nice run's hoping mid 12's evey one say's it should go mid to low 11's but I'll just assume mid 12's cause you know third gen's and traction once you get some power

Rock on Dude

-Mikey
