This is our son's 86 camaro, It started out as a $400.00 white 6 banger beater.
And my son wanted something different then everybody else's 3rd gen so this is what he did.
Please keep in mind this whole project was done in our home garage by our son and my self ( Dad).
Our son did all the painting,,He was 19 at the time it all took place. Started Apr-06 finished Nov-06.
Our son died in an auto accident on Jan 3, 07 so he really didn't have much time to enjoy it or show it off. So that's my job now to show it off for him , And all the awesome work he did to his pride and joy.
We would like to thank everyone that rated our sons camaro to the top #1 spot its an awesome feeling and I'm sure our son has a smile from ear to ear right now. R.I.P Bobby your at the top. As of 12-14-08 Bobby's Camaro was rated #1 overall 45+ times.
SHOW OFF OF THE WEEK 12-15-08
WE would like to thank all the members who nominated Bobby's Camaro SOTW and thanks to the Car Domain staff for picking his ride. Thanks to all very much.
Please read below before you decide to rate it.
This page was not created to say our sons camaro is better than anybody else's car or project they are working on . Because I will tell you all there are some bad ass cars on this CarDomain that I see getting kicked to the curb all the time for no reason other then personal gain or jealousy and that's sad .This camaro won't hold a candle to a lot of these cars. This page was made in MEMORY OF OUR SON and to show other's you can do just about anything you set out to do. And to keep his memorys and dreams alive. You can rate it anyway you please but it will never change the fact that this is what my son accomplished. It was put here to maybe give others ideas they could do to there rides and no not everyone will like what he did. Some will - some won't . But what matters here is this is what he wanted and he built it.... not bought it.... And we are prouder then ever of him and his accomplishments he made in is 19 years of life.
The picture just below is the day he bought it in April 06. Yeah it was a $400.00 6 banger automatic beater.
If you want to comment great if you want to rate it that's great also.
So just please enjoy the pictures and what we wrote about him and is camaro.

WOW! He did all the work? That is so inspiring! Pure talent on the paint job, i read the description before the pictures loaded and i thought it was going to be a simple paint job. Pleasantly surprised to see the two tone, and the detail on the door jab and the cool graphic on the rear quarter panel. And you are right, Bobby didn't have enough time to enjoy the great craftsmanship put into this beautiful piece of machinery. I am sorry you had to loose him.
