Re: My 82 Camaro

I'm going to put air shocks in the rear to keep the fender from hitting on the 10's and i'll probably get a new 2 core all aluminum radiator to help keep the car cooler since i had the 305 bored 40 over(engine given to me) and I need or want to put short headers and do some interior work. I'm trying to find some rocker emblems also(i did make a thread in the wanted section) and probably need to get the heads done, my fault i didn't quite check them but had everything else done with new parts in the engine except the rods. My car smokes bad on start up because of bad valve guides, it quits after running it for a little.

Re: My 82 Camaro

Aww, why did you put an incorrect hood on it? Was there something wrong with the original one?

Re: My 82 Camaro

I put on some different wheels on because the other ones were too wide making the tires rub the fenders. Also this is the latest of what I have done lately on the car.

Get the Z28 Decals off Ebay or Hawk's (assuming your car is infact a Z28). Keep it simple as far as that goes and you'll have it looking good.

Re: My 82 Camaro

I'm glad you kept the graphics from 82. The 82-84 and the 91-92 graphics look the best, but you don't see many of the 82-84 around anymore.

Very true, I don't see my type anymore, I really do like the 91-92 effects but I'm not paying all that money to convert over.
