ya, here are some before pictures. And yes, i made it out of 2 cars, a 1990, and a 1985, so i guess it's a 1987.5 Notice teh caved in body panels one the white one, which is what the yellow car came from.

wow thats crazy,...now i dont feel so bad about my camaros....dont get me wrong i love them both but my silver one needs alot of work....like the white one did. BTW that 90 RS is a striking resemblance to my 88 IROC after slipping on black ice at a stop sign and hitting the front of a mack truck and spinning around and getting my rear end caught under the trailer!
lucky to be alive i guess

ya, i have some engine pics. I'll post a few, but the stuff you don't see is what is important. A 93 year old japanese guy at Mile high Machine shop, he liked me, so he said he would biuld my engine for free, as long as i did all the work. Gee, what a shame, i had to biuld the engine. as if it was a chore. It was the coolest thing i have ever done. He got me all the parts at racer price, and he did all the little tricks he had learned over the years. He sold me for 225 dollars, a 350 four bolt main block, and chevy 495 casting angle plug heads. He then tuaght me how to machine them, and then i got a 3 angle valve job and bronze valve guides. I balanced and blueprinted the engine, i even have the specs card. i have a healthy Crane Cam computor camshaft, and custom bent 3 inch exhaust. Block is bored 30 over, polished crank, forged pistons, and a compression of 9.86:1 and Eagle "H" beams. Some of the things you do see in the pictures are: the cranks and water pump pulley etc. was christmas 2 years ago,adn the intake took me about 12 hrs to do. 3 coats of balck, and 3 coats of clear, after polsihing the intake of coarse. The Bulldog alarm, and Summit perportioning valve. Custom wiring etc. etc. It also has a full 8 point rollcage and 5 point harnesses.
thanks for looking guys, ill post picks of didfferent aspects if people are interested.

That's one amazing looking ride!
The "RACE ME!" yellow looks great and the black on the hood makes it look awesome!
Nice choices all around...

Congrats! Nice job. Obviously you have invested some time and hard work it shows. Just be sure stay out of the rhubarb so you don't damage that sweet paint job

wow...
looks awsome!
I'm a junior in HS also.....though my car (just got it) isnt anywhere as nice as yours :-/....i'm not unhappy about my car though....i literally just got it like a week ago, and once i get all the wireing problems cleared up, things will slowly get better with it :-)
but damn man....the color looks great! I personaly would get the windows tinted like 20% all around, maybe darker, and go with different seats, but it looks great as it is!

A junior in high school did this?? 
You, sir, have my highest respects. :hail: Only thing I would suggest is seeing if you can get the hood to line up a little better, unless I'm looking at shadows. Did you take out the high beams?
Unreal...

I'm sorry, is it April 1? I gotta be honest...I think the car looks excellent and, no disrespect intended, I only half believe the story. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because I remember going to high school with some talented friends who did amazing jobs on their rides. I mean....look at that engine for starters. Holy pistons batman!! That is some clean work under the hood. Where did the money come from? No part-time gig I know of pays that kind of cash quick enough to put an engine like that together. Someone please help me believe this.

Hey kammi... what's the size and specs on those magneatos? I've got 17X8 front and 17X10 rear... but mine look alot different.... it could also be because my car is completely slammed. What is your rear backspacing and width?
