Ca79maro's 1979 Chevrolet Camaro

This is my 1979 Chevrolet Camaro. I purchased it back in Novemeber of '04. it was an ugly '57 chevy teal with the stock 305 ( excellant runner but no power, especially considering it was running of 7 cylinders.)Come February of '05 i took to my vocational school and i painted it. (shown in booth in the picture)Paint is DuPont Chromabase, the best stuff and the Clear is U-Tech 4.0.

Then random suspension parts like sway bar, bushings, etc from Addco were put on to improve handling and reduce body roll.
Come the beginning of July a new rebuilt 350 (bored .020) was bought and built. Specs are...

you car is so nice, especially the interior. the racing seats looks sweet and i really like the bowtie on the rear deck. I plan on getting my interior custom made at some point. Awesome work, awesome paint. 5 stars without a doubt. Take a look at my 79 and let me know what u think.

Nice ride, really like the stripes. Hopefully mine will also be black when it's ready for paint.
