Hi Guys

Picked up my car last year, it needed some work. So I set aside a budget, did the body work myself it took about 6 months or so. It really was fun watching it all come alive.

My buddy's painted the base, had someone clear it. Wasn't impressed with the clear so I gotta fix.
I need to finish wet sanding some spots and it needs a nice speed buffing.

Check out our video of what the car was and what it is now. Next is the big block. Can't wait...need to set aside some more money though.


It'll take a few seconds to load,

Took it out yesterday for the first time with the T's off....I like!

 

I hate that your name is "stangboy" ... but you did right by that Camaro. Very nice work. Most people would have just trashed that in the condition it was in.

 

Stangs, Vettes and Camaros are all nice machines. I own them all and they are all unique in there own way.

I couldn't pass up on that car, the floors were mint. It needed restoration.

Thanks for the compliment.

 

looks like a great project. you don't find too many solid floors around here. keep us posted

 

Doesnt look bad man.

those 17's ? Stock springs or aftermarket?

 

Thanks, they're 17's. The car rides on the stock springs, I plan on upgrading once I put in the motor. I'd like to see how it sits with the 454 it, I expect the block to lower the front end.

 

Looks great I am glad to see that it was brought back from the dead nice work. I love seeing third gens being fixed up instead of being trashed.

 

Nice Video...I too love to see them come back to life. I finished my camaro last year and I get alot of thumbs up. People tell me that they don't really see these cars fixed up anymore. Glad you did it right.

 

Thanks, It was a great experience. Although it wasn't a walk in the part when it came to block sanding the car. It was so tedious, not something I would plan on doing again.

 

just wet sanded some runs and speed buffed the whole car.
Here's three more picks





Going to get around installing the system, I gutted the rear seats, and recarpeted them.

I'll get some pics up, if I remember

 

Looks great, your hard work shows. Nice Z06 seats also.

 

WOW! Now thats the SCHEIBE. I ALLLLSO like to see cars brought back rather than being crushed and melted down.

Anyway mad props

I wouldnt mind a Fox-Body...NOTCH ONLY!

KEEP IT UP AND KEEP US POSTED!

 

Looks good, I like those seats

 

Here's some more pics of both my machines, it looks like I'm going to take it easy for a bit...the motor is next on the camaro. I need to figure out what standard transmission would be best for the 454. M22 rock crusher, ST10 or a T56...I plan on keeping and rebuilding the rear end with a set of 3.42 or 3.73's.

I need to figure out what would be the cheapest and efficient root plus I need to start putting some money aside for this.

 

looks good.

 

your going to keep stock rearend with gears when your putting in a 454 ummmmm snappppppp lol

 

12 bolts are a bit stronger, but right now it's not in my budget. It's not a racer. It's not going to be dogged or will ever visit the strip.

We'll see.

 

will it be able to have an inspection sticker???? ? me and dad has pondered the idea of a 454 in the camaro but afraid of not being able to get it inspected >!

 

this car is currently my summer daily driver with the original 305, I fixed whatever needed fixen.

The question is, will your camaro pass the e-test with a big block? I'm not sure.

 

not sure what you mean by most people would have trashed it in the condition it was in. Looks like all it really needed was some minor body work and paint..

 

$5900

 

thats a sexy *** car. nice job.. Cant wait until mine looks that nice. What size rims are those??

 

huh?

 

I think hes selling it for 5900$ I saw it on autotrader/ebay or somewhere.

 

they are 17" rims.

And yep, I'm selling the car...I've posted it on a few sites.
