80-zcamaro's 1980 Chevrolet CamaroHere is my project Camaro, I bought it for $200.00 from a guy at work. This car changed hands 17 times in it's life and now needs it's second chance for a new  beginning. I have never restored a car befor so this is all new for me and I am always welcoming peoples input or ideas". Here is what I have come up with so far....I am putting a small block 350 with a stage 1 cam in with roller rockers, Holly intake either a Demon, Edle Brock or Holly 4 barrel cardurator. I am also planning on using ceramic coated headers, stiffening and lowering the suspension I am using the 15 inch Z/28 rims I bought and restoring the interior to origional condition and putting in a modern sterio system hidden away to keep the origional theme. I am going with either Flow Master or Magna Flow exhaust 2 and 3/4 inch exhaust running through 2 cats ending with stainless exhaust tips. I am sure I will come up with more ideas and change a few as I go along but time will tell, I do know that I will have everything figured out and written out befor I start so there won't be any surprises. The car it self needs to be completely dissmantled and sand blasted. The floor pans, quater panels, door bottoms and fire wall need metal work and it needs a new wind sheild.

Here are some pictures of the underside of my car, I am hoping that my frame rails are still solid. Sandblasting is going to be the first thing I do, this car is worth saving and with each passing year they are becoming rarer.80-zcamaro's 1980 Chevrolet Camaro80-zcamaro's 1980 Chevrolet Camaro80-zcamaro's 1980 Chevrolet Camaro80-zcamaro's 1980 Chevrolet Camaro

I see alot of potential in your car,and it doesn't look too far gon to bring it back...the dark blue,with light blue accents does look nice...or how about black with red accents...it would match your red interior a little better than the blue.

Thank you for your comment! Man, I can see the potential in this car, which is why it is beautiful even as it is. The world needs more people like you who are willing to give old classic un-loved rides a second, more wonderful life. 5 Stars to you for taking this on. I'm sure it will turn out wonderful. PLEASE post updates whenever you get them. I'd love to see it as it comes along. :) P.S. I love the interior.
