What about it? He doesn't want to part it and the only things my car needs are the center cap emblem, seat rip repair, and spare tire well fixed, other than that it's complete. Only other things I'm doing are wants like chrome rims, new exhaust, new engine, rear disk posi rear end and suspension work.

 

Just thought you might be interested in it.

 

No lol I dOnt need or want another project right now, cause right now I'm either getting my truck or my new engine and I'm voting truck

 

Went to the exhaust shop today, for me to get the new muffler installed is $50 but my exhaust tips are $15 a peice do $80 for everything. I'm happy

 

got my pictures enlarged so here they are guys

 

and a few more

 

and the last one showing the whole car, repaired quarter and pin stripping

 

Got my exhaust done today, and I'm amazed. It sounds like a muscle car now, has a nice deep tone, my tips look good and I'm just happy with everything, bedding use any clamps or anything I had him weld it all in so it's leak free. My internets down right now so when it gets back up and running I'll post up some pictures

 

here are the pictures i promised, got my exhaust done, got my new hatch bolt in finally, and have a new center cap emblem on the way so im happy, she looks amazing on the outside now, like she should. next thing im doing is getting my cat taken out and a pipe welded in to help with the flow, then im doing a new trans line so its all good, forgot to add im also getting my tattoo done, its only the outline right now, im getting a ribbon done below the emblem with camaro in it and i still have to get my colors

 

took her to zone today to get my new tranny lines, bought two 6ft lines for $16 and i also got some new silverstar back up lights because my stock ones i couldnt see out of when trying to back up for the life of me so hopefully these will help me see better. other than that i got tired of looking at her dirty so i took her and powerwashed her at the local carwash, and decided to take some pictures so here they are, oh and i got my new center cap emblem installed

 

and some more

 

well next on the list are installing my new tranny lines, then new brakes, hopeing i dont have to replace my wheel cylinders or drums, brakes are the most expensive damn thing i think iv bought . $170 for shoes,pads,and roters.

 

got my tat worked on alittle tonight, almost finished, now i jsut need my white outlines, and my white stars.

 

noice

 

thank ya, found something else im buying for my car aswell, its a brakelights sticker for my third light on the glass, i like it and its only $10 bucks so hell, why not, link below, they have them for other year camaros aswell!


http://custombrakelights.com/catalog...roducts_id=553

 

well i order my brakes, i bought duralast gold rotors, wagner thermoquiet pads and shoes, timiken wheel seals and inner and outer bearings. so those are sitting in my closest now along with my tranny line waiting for a warm day, havent bought my taillight sticker yet but im going to order that and another front parking lamp since my other is fogged up and looks bad next to my new one. other than that i bought a cupholder for my car that im going to install, im mounting it on my console, well inside the console. what else can i do to my car? lol

 

I got National wheel bearings for my camaro. I was under the impression I was buying decent bearings. I read the boxes and found two said "made in USA" the other two said "made in Taiwan"

 

atleast 2 of them are good then

to answer your question, you can super ocd clean it in strange places, get a jack and clean it up underneath, spray the bottom of the floorpans with some dupli-color bedliner to protect em a lil better, vaccuum all the carpet, armor all the plastics, clean everything you can, if your feeling brave clean the engine bay, take a little wd-40 on a rag/shopvtowel and clean up all the wires/vacuum lines/plugs/fitings anything thats been kinda faded out with time and heat

 

the ones i bought are made in the usa, and have been around for a LONG time, like wagner, i didnt want to cheap out on my brakes, only thing i couldnt get that i wanted were my wagner rotors, but i hope the duralasts will hold up okay

 

my engines bays clean, cleaned everything when i put that new engine in, only thing i didnt do there that i wanted was spraying the bay black, but im going to do that when i drop my lt1. also when ever i replace anything i also clean the area im in, ic cleaned the floors alittle and tossed the idea around about undercoating. maybe one day.

i guess the next things im going to do are, fourth gen rear end, hopfully 3.73 posi, founders LCAs and PHB, SFCs, then my new engine and tranny. other than that i want to replace my booster and master cylinder, all the brake lines, and braking componets. just so everything is good and new and i dont have to worry, my brake fluid is really dirty though so thats going to be soon.

 

Love the tat man! Mine is so boring compared to yours... I want to add some stuff, but am keeping it all black so I don't have to touch it up as much. Here is me being a goofball at work. The car is looking better than ever! You will NEVER want to drive anything else after you get that V8 swap done!

i wouldn't have believed you a year ago, but having had a v6 and v8 car i love the v8 so much its not as responsive and it feels heavier, but its got torque for days to haul its heavy *** around

also what is that large piece of cloth with the Chevrolet logo on it

i see, so i'm not the only one who wants a showroom clean car lol

 

yeah I thought about getting a tat like yours where it was just the emblem but acrossed my back on my shoulder blades but I found this one, yours looks good too man but believe me I don't like driving anything else besides my car now, my grandma let me borrow her 2008 impala with a 3900 in it that ranges at like 300hp for like 2 weeks while my car was in the shop getting that dent repaired and I was going crazy wanting mine back, nobody understood why becUse the impala is newer, faster, roomier, quieter, and everything else but I missed my baby lol. But as far as the v8 goes I can't wait to drop it in, I think I'm going to stroke it to a 383 lt1 and toss a turbo in with it I won't have to worry about anything being able to overtake my engine lol. Seming how with just the engine I'm aiming for 500 rhp .but for now this little v6 is keeping me occupied, I'm looking for a set of heads and intake so I can port them and I'm going to buy a bigger cam and tune my ECM so I'll have alittle more power, I haven't decided on headers yet.

 

got my rockauto box in today containing my wheels seals, inner wheel bearings, and wagner thermoquiet pads and shoes. so i decided to take a picture. the black thing is my cup holder

 

got my cupholder in today, was alittle pain in the ***, went out and bout a $20 3 1/4 hole saw to do it and i had to file it down pretty good to get it in but i got it, also i went to zone today to replace the battery and i started looking at their anntenas because im wanting a short black one, well while looking around i found a little 13" one that looks almost identical to the factoy one, so guess what im buying . i think it will help my apperence out alot not having the giant anntena sitting out there.

 

got my antenna, looks great, and factoy just really tiny lol, tell me what you think!!

just realized its dark and kinda hard to see, sorry guys, i cant wait till i get my new garage lights installed so they will brighten up my work area!!

 

should have just got a factory power antenna

 

What's wrong with the one I bought?

 

I think it's too short.

a power antenna would give you the streamlined look you were after and still look completely factory

 

Awesome I just read through like 80% of the whole thread, Car looks awesome now.

I'm just now learning about cars and got some kinda clicking/ticking/knock noise and the guy who owned the car before me rigged some stuff.

Grats on having an awesome car!

 

Thank you and welcome to TGO!! If you have a v6 I would recommend you go to the v6 board because those guys are a huge help and know these engines and can help find and fix your problem

 

Ripping into my car tomorrow to replace those transmission lines. Was thinking I was going to have nice warm weather to work but after have almost 70 degree it dropped down to below 30 degrees and snowing so yeah lol, time to break out the salamander!!!!

 

got my lines replaced today and i dont have a leak anymore, those lines were a major pain in the *** to bend correctly but it looks better, shifts better, and idk if its me and my imagination but my car doesnt jerk into gear like it did, what i mean is like what i put my car into drive, or reverse it slammed like the whole car moved, and it was really bad going from neautral to reverse or drive but didnt do it while i was moving, but anyways it doesnt do that since i had my new lines on, it might be cause the fluid is cold or it didnt have alot of fluid moving yet but it didnt slam and it really suprised me. but i guess the best part about today was climbing under my car and looking at my floor pans, they are still spotless and rust free even after 4 years of driving and 2 winters of indiana winter plus the other 27 years my car is still rust free and you can still see red paint on the bottom of the car. idk why but it just made me smile.

 

i know the feeling, on both accounts, my car is still largely black underneath but with some white overspray (i think its been undercoated by po) and mine still jerks every time and its a 4l60 idk why it didn't jerk for ya might just be a one time thing, it'd unnerve me if mine didn't

 

Normally if it's cold out it doesn't jerk till it warms up or my car warns up but I drove my car around alittle to get thr fluid moving and it never jerked. So I'm stumped, oh well I like it. And my car hasn't been under coated so it's amazing it didn't rust

 

I can't wait till it stays warm here, and hopefully no more hail and tornados.

 

I'm with ya there bud!! I don't mind the tornados because I live in a vally so I'm pretty safe from them but I want it warn, and the weathers trying to warn up atleast

 

Looks amazing! (And I agree you need to put the stripes back.)
Where did you find your grill? I am looking for one.

 

What stripes? I had pin strips put back on and I got my grille from a member here in the classified section

 

The stripes I was referring to are the lower body stripes. The black and gray stripes around the bottom.

 

Well my car started acting up a few days ago and it was shaking bad and misfiring and running like crap. Well I installed new injectors, new plugs And wires N
And now my car runs amazing, it idles and responds smoothly, it starts quicker, I'm hoping my gas mileage will go up since I had a few leaking injectors and a bad one.

 

Good news..... I found a grille on Ebay, and it arrived yesterday from St Louis. Already have it on, and I'm so happy! Still need a dash pad, and a T-5 5 speed shifter plate.
Also need some information on the hatch motor, if anyone has had a similar problem and could tell me what I need to fix it. The fuse has been pulled because the hatch motor was opening and closing continuously and running my battery down overnight. Could this be the electrical contact? Or is it the hatch motor? I would appreciate any suggestions or information. Thank you!

 

my first guess would be the hatch motor. The track was messed up on my iroc so we had welded it in place. When i got my 88 everything seemed in tact but the motor didnt work so I swapped the motor from the iroc into it and it worked flawlessly. It could also be the relay but my first guess would be the motor. Personally id buy a whole working hatch pull down assembly from ebay.

 

or hawks

 

Well I'm ordering a new driver side parking lamp. I ordered one not too long ago from a place called house of camaro because my passenger was cracked and dirty. Well when I got my new one from house of camaro it looked brand new, so I'm going to order my driver so they look new. You guys might check them out. They are a sponsor on here and have a website, and are very good to work with " www.houseofcamaro.com " but I'm also going to have my interior shampooed and cleaned, might have the shop wax my car, I haven't decided yet.

 

Well I ran into some problems today. Got out of school and found a text that my mom had sent me telling me my grandma had a stroke and she was taking her to the hospital about 30 minutes away so I start booking it to the hospital. Well I get just into the town and stop at a stop sign but when I went to go I had no power and my car tried to die on me, well I limped it to the side of the road and started listening and I heard my Fuel pump just screaming, well I limped it into a near by gas station and jump out and start checking everything and to me it seems like my pumps about to die, well I ended up having my engine vapor lock on me. I got going again and got into town to the hospital but the car kept dying on me and surging and having no power what so ever. Well it decided to die on me in the middle of an intersection with on coming traffic, well I through my car into neutral and tried to restart it and nothing happend. Well stupid me decided to throw it into park while I was g

Well stupid me decided to throw it into park while I was going about 40 trying to restart it. Now my cars shifting longer into 2nd..... It's not making any loud noises. A little rattle noisr in gear and shifts Tlat 3000 rpm now......

 

hmmmm interesting, my 4l60 does something odd everynow and again when i've reversed too far it wont shift till 6k and then jerks the car incredible hard when it does and after i shut it off and the wait about a min and restart her, its all fine, but this sounds different, and i hope you get it fixed, you have a very nice car

 

I hope I Didn't do anything to it do I don't have to fix it. I heard wrapping your fuel lines with aluminum foil helps it from vapor locking so I'm wrapping those tomorrow and hoping my tranny isn't hurt....

 

haha guess that made me a hypocrite oh well still hunting another black v6 bird, also still banking the cash to get one
