86Z28 Progress

Thought i would post up with some pics/progress of my camaro.

The car is/was drivable (blew up the stock rear end first time getting on it)
Engine 355 (Smokin87TA's longblock)
Trans T56 (bought from 406TPI)
Spohn ADJ torque arm w/ driveshaft loop and x-member
Spohn Wonderbar
hotckis SFC's
I have a beefed up 10Bolt 373 with pbr disc's that im getting ready to put in. (crawlin 2th's)

Id like to send a HUGE thank-you out to this board for the awesome help and letting me find the parts i need!

now that its running, i will be starting on the bodywork so that i can paint it. Color will be Inferno Red.

Richard,

Looks like you are making good progress. Looks good. Do you intend to paint it before winter?

Well that depends on how bad the rear quarters are. it will probably be painted this winter though, hopefully before spring.

Has Danny still been helping?

Had the camaro out today. It was nice taking it for a little cruise, but got a bad whine up front. Think it is the bearings in the water pump. Oh well, that's how it goes. Put a magnaflow catback on a couple of weeks ago. Sound good.

Danny's been a huge help, but lately he has been busy with work/school. I still havent decided on what exhaust im going to go with, I have a complete 2.5" one to put in, but i think its going to be a little too restrictive for the motor.

I pulled basically a brand new exhaust off the car, kind of a shame, but it definitely need to breath better.
