Back after 6 years with a new project...

Well bought a 91 Camaro V6/5 Speed car. Been sitting for awhile, was going to be a cash for clunkers car but they guy never insured it, so Im picking it up tomorrow for a couple hundred. Drivers front is smashed from a wreck but looks cosmetic. Whole car needs a repaint and new weatherstripping. Unsure weather Im just going to buy the car, paint it, and keep the V6 or swap a V8 in there. Am going to fix this up for a daily driver since my LT1 Camaro is leaning more from street car into the race car area. I took a pic with my phone so if someone can text me at 309-678-9949 i can send a pic for them to post.

As far as those who dont know me, I had a 89 RS that I swapped a carbed 355/Th350 into. I founded the Central Illinois F-Body car club and was president until I resigned after I sold my 89. (Not really sure if the club is still around??) I lived in Peoria at the time but now in the NW Chicago suburbs. I still have my GTO and the 94 z/28 mentioned above.

Anyways...Im back and Im sure this wreck is going to spiral out of control
