My project has been off the road since Feb 03 after failing emissions testing. Decided to swap in a TPI 305, after finding a good deal on one. Complications lead to it being off the road wayy longer than intended. Add to that my returning to school last year. Needless to say, I have almost everything I need to put her back on the road, just have to get my *** in gear. HAS to be done before Feb... 2 years is far too long to be without My Camaro

Sorry no pic's. The '91 is driveable but sitting in the parking lot of my printshop under 2 covers. The front end is off(all but the hood)and the corner of the core support straighted. After I finish cancer treatment in January and get my taxes back,she's going in the shop to have the frame straighted, 2 new fenders, a new hood, and the engine compartment repainted. Then she comes home and the rebuild begins. Chris

Well, my GTA has been down since september '04 now.... I sold the 355TPI/T56 out of it and I have my H/C LS1 sitting on the engine stand ready to go in.... me and my fiance are getting ready to buy a house, but I'm still hoping to have it on the streets in the summer of '04... not much left to buy to finish putting it back together... here is what I have ready to go in it and what is already in it....

*346ci LS1
-ported LS1 heads
-comp 918 springs
-titaniuim retainers
-hardened pushrods
-thunder racing cam
-ASP pulley
-ARP rod bolts
-ported LS6 oil pump
-double roller timing set
-custom made LT headers
-dual electric cutouts
-stock 4th gen WS6 catback
*T56 tranny w/ a B&M ripper and a Lou's short stick on it

**That is about all that is sitting around in the garage or else already in the car... after this I'm still planning on repainting it green with a RAI hood and putting black interior in it with white faced gauges and an a-pillar pod with gauges and a hidden shift light. Here are a few pics....

Car as it sits currently....

Moser 4th gen 9"
