type in restoration and camaro firebird in any search engine and you will find what you are looking for. The process is the same for any car. I am a Automotive Restoration Major in college and you can find this stuff all over the web pics included. Problem is the third gens are still a little too "new" to be completely restored from the ground up. I am in the process of restoring my car but its not going to be stripped to the frame.

Also look at the threads below posted by member khoebringer you'll get an idea what's involved and along the excellent job Kurt and his son Derek did on Derek's '82 Z28.

Also this is the page Kurt had done to document the work.
