New to the Board
Hey everyone i just signed up for this forum. been looking at it and reading for a while. i have been restoring my 88 camaro i have had since i was 15. im not doing the body work i never did that before so im letting aguy do the paint and body. im leaving the stock style suspension but it is all Spohn Chromoly parts, ford 9in rear, am going with rack and pinion steering. the body work is almost done. i am currently a civilian over in Iraq/ Afghanistan so im getting the body stuff done now. NORMALLY i build my own engines but i found a guy to build me my engine AND a custom set of stainless steel headers for cheaper then i can even buy the parts for. so im buying an engine also. Im trying to keep it streetable and a MONSTER at the same time. i wanted a 1000hp street car so im putting in a 632 BBC with a 300 fogger system on it. the guy says on pump gas the engine should make between 850-900hp so like i said i wanted that 1000hp. but the car is being painted the 2011 Camaro Synergy Green with pearl white racing stripes. i have a bunch of pictures but i dont know how to attach them to this post. but this is really just a thread to say Hello and if i can get a few pointers on how to start adding pictures to the thread i will do that. thank you in advance for any help you can give
