I've had this Camaro since 1992. It's getting close to being "finished" I still have to do the interior and install new roof rail weatherstripping.
Some other future mods include a posi rear end w/ 3.73 gears (currently an open diff w/ 3.08 gearing), a steel cowl hood instead of the grafted fiberglass cowl that is currently on my car. Once that is done, I'll think about painting some stripes on it.
The engine is a mild 350 w/ an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Street Demon 625 carb,Thorley Tri-Y headers, Flowmaster exhaust w/H pipe & transverse muffler. I wanted to keep it somewhat quite and not have my mufflers scrapping on any speed bumps.
The trans is a rebuilt 350 w/ a B&M Torkmaster 2400 Stall convertor- just the basic stuff.
The front suspension has all been replaced w/ polygraphite bushings,KYB shocks and a quick ratio steering box has been added. The rear leafs have been replaced and subframe connectors are in the future-I'll put those on when I swap out the sub-frame bushings.

I recently did the H4 lighting upgrade, complete with relays and all the exterior lighting has been upgraded to L.E.D. bulbs.

Here some pics before it was painted. I did all the bodywork & painting chores.
I decided to paint it the original color, which was white. When I first got the car, it had a faded red Earl Schib paint job on it.
Here it is in primer & some paint booth shots.
