It needs paint, along with a motor and transmission. Other then that, its all there.

Luckily this thing doesnt have a bit of rust on it, a bit on the roof but thats about it. Which is really minor. The whole underbody is spotless excluding surface rust on differential and driveshaft, swing arms and such.

stock 3.73:1 gears in the differential. not sure if its open or LSD.

It has brand new interior, all redone. I'm still peicing it back together peice by peice. But coming together well.

I'm leaving the back seats out, because there just more weight. (this is gonna be a 1/4 mile car)

They will probably get replaced with removable sub enclothers.

 Everything works.

The trunk, probably will get amps mounted in it. This had a stereo in it previously, amp wires are already all ran.

The motor thats going in this is the same one i was going to put in the Z car, only difference with this is it will bolt right in, with no modification.

Since these pictures were taking, the distributor was timed, plug wires cleaned up.

I still have to put the power steering pump back on and get a alternator.

The stock manifolds in the pictures are only used to start the engine on the stand.

I will be using different headers in the car.

This motor is a stock engine, pushing 250HP 350 pounds of torque stock without any performance parts.

========================================================================

Started body work today, this car doesnt have much. But i wanted to tackle it before it got worse.

Chipped away all the paint and privious bondo and sanded/wire brushed it until it was shinny again.

Sanded until there was a 1/2 inch of shinny metal between the paint and the rust so i knew i got all the rust.

Next i put some resin on to seal it, and followed it down with some fiberglass.Michanic220's 1986 Chevrolet Camaro

I let that dry, and then cut all the loose glass off. Then sanded it level with the paint.Michanic220's 1986 Chevrolet CamaroMichanic220's 1986 Chevrolet Camaro

 Then started to fill the inperfections.

Sanding, sanding, and still more sanding.

All the rust got grinded/sanded and wirebrushed out. Then i filled what needed to be filled and clear coated the bear metal so it doesnt rust (things love to rust in florida)

I almost shit my self when I saw your 5 12" sub set up LOL that is crazy cool man! Hay do you have a sound clip or a little demo of how loud it was ? I don't think that the cam mic would have picked it up the best but if you have one post it and let me know I would, like to hear and see it.
