You can only attach 3 pictures per thread, you're gonna have to delete some of those or else a moderator will.

its sharp, congrats you did good work
like firebirdjosh said you can olny post 3 pics per thread. if you want to post more you have to host them somewhere else like cardomain or photobucket and post the URLs

Looks great! I've heard it said before, but it's so true: the vahicle always looks it's worst during prep.
It gets looking so much better really quickly, though.

don't forget to change the heater core seeing that you now have easy access to it!!! 

no need to change the heater core in a street Rod!
i deleted all the heat and A/C. i only drive it about may thru august. i plan to make it a targa top also n put a roll cage in it before i leave school this may. hopefully i can get her into the 13's after i get all my bolt ons now my engine rebuild is done. in a couple weeks she will be two tone black and white. i will keep you posted. that top pic is what it looked like last summer!

yea, but i pretty much consider camaros, especially looking like that with that kinda motor, a z regardless.
yea i know what you mean, it is a Z technically but in 88 they dropped the Z and the sport coupe is the Z for that year basically. thanks for looking guys!

the car looks great. did you complete the targa top conversion and did you use glass or steel for the top. how do the seals work if completed.
