Pics of Cars, Trucks, & Bikes I use to own

My first camaro
My 84 Z28 after it was totaled, it's sitting next to the flatbed i use to drive in Carol Stream, IL.

 

The 94 Z28 i picked up with the insurance check from the 84.
out of all the camaros i've owned this one i had the most fun with, so far.

 

The 86 RS i picked with a busted 2.8, the number 6 connecting rod snapped. i replaced the 2.8 with the 305 out of the 84.

My 94z next to the 86 rs next to another co-workers maroon 86 rs under the cover. before the car was painted. It's just sitting in the tow shop parking lot, i used to push it into the shop at night and work on it between tows.

Old pic of me changing the intake and carb after i swapped the motor the old quadrajunk had to go.

 

The 86 after i had it repainted and sold back to the previous owner. The paint was a $500 dollar maaco special, after i did all the prep work.

 

Another 86 RS i picked up with a busted trans from the owner of the white 86 RS. this car was his  daughters then was sold to his nephew then to me when the trans went out. it was fun driving the car 20 miles with only 1st gear to the truck company i use to manage during the day. I replaced the trans with the one i had left over in from the motor swap i did with the white 86 RS

 

86 Iroc i picked up for the tuned port motor after the motor in the 80 blew up. I liked the way the IROCs look and i missed the 84 Z28 i had, so i picked another 86 IROC body at a local junkyard for $300.

This is what the car looked like when i got it, i was told the guy clipped the back of a hay bailer.

 

 

The whole reason i got the car, TPI.

 

I cut the car up to take it to the scrap yard, wish i had a trailer back then.

 

88 Z28

$200 dollar ebay parts car. 12 hours to go get the car, 10 hours to strip and gut, 6 hours to cut the front off and the rear quarter off. now off to the scrap yard for cash.

 

Trucks

79 C10 The truck had 454, 4" body lift, 6" suspension with 44x18x15 wheels. It would've been a fun truck if the damn oil gauge line did pop off and lock the motor.

81 El Camino with a 70 350 corvette motor bored .040 i traded the gray 86 RS for. I pulled the motor for my 80 Z28 and traded the body to a guy i knew and his dad for trailering the 80 z28 to my home.

 

Bikes

88 Honda CBR600F1 Hurricane
Started rebuilding the bike 1/1/05. I stripped and repainted the frame silver and the body metallic cherry red. i removed the rear turn signals, wired the tail light to work as the brake and turn signals, plastic welded the 3 rear plastic pieces in to one piece and recovered the seat with marine grade vinyl. I also hand polished the rims, bars, triple tree, gas cap, sprocket cover, foot pegs, muffler, and had planed on polishing the fork tubes, calipers & motor but ended up selling the bike to a guy in Guam.

 

 

Here is what the bike looked like when i sold it on ebay in march of 05. I got $1,975 of it, not to bad for a bike that i only paid $300 dollars for.
