I thought I'd share what I've been doing to my Camaro with you guys. Lots of pictures.

I lowered the suspension 1.75"

I replaced a fender that had plastic filler covering the side marker light.

Sanded down the body

Did some plastic welding.

Filled some minor dings

Removed the damaged and ugly plastic trim. (This stuff stunk from all the crap that built up inside over the years)

Removed previous owners hilariously constructed "system" wiring.

After all the redundant wires were removed it weighed close to 12lbs!

The previous owner thought it'd be cool to use blue zip ties under the hood. I've yet to remove all the ugly blue wire conduit.

I was literally able to scrape the stripes off the hood with a razor blade.

I don't have pictures of it, but I also had a new windshield installed and I removed the back seats (the seat belts were rusted away anyhow). I also filled and smoothed over or "shaved" the door lock cylinders because on my honeymoon some guy broke into the car and stole my $70 stereo reciever. He stuck a screwdriver into the door and destroyed the hole even though I left the window rolled half way down.

Here's a pic of it in it's current state. Sorry for the low quality I took it with my phone.

I hope you guys enjoyed. Let me know what you think.
