mh82camaro’s 1982 Chevrolet Camaro

SPECIAL THANKS and Family:   Just wanted to say thank you to my wife,Amy, for putting up with me over the last 9 years and supporting me with all my projects and more to come.....it never ends. I could never have done all that i have done without her being understanding with my car addiction. my daughter Evelynn and son Avery .... love to go with my wife and i, to all the local car shows in our hometown, and cruise on nice days!!!!

june,3,2011 i blew the motor on my camaro...blew a main bearing just driving down the road...so i am currently in the process on taking out the old 327 and installing a new gmpp 350 4 bolt main....with all my aftermarket add-ons i already have summit racing said that it should be around 315-325 hoursepower...which is a improvement from what i had and the old irocs only had 245 horse from factory.

This is the earliest picture i have of my car...this picture is with a new painted harwood hood, different 15"cragar 5-spoke rims, and blacked out headlight bezels. When i got the car it had a old 82-84 z28 scoop hood on it, but with a big hole cut in  the center of it for a scoop that never was there. It also had the 15" solid faced cragar rims. ( i wish i did have a picture thought).

this year january 2011 i was tired of having transmission trouble with my old transmission....even after i replaced stall convertor and in stalled a shift kit and corvette servo. it was slipping really bad...hard time shifting towards the end. so i decided to get one done professionally....so i got one from Mad Dog Transmissions out of Cummings, Georgia.

Hello, my name is matt and welcome to the build up of my 1982 camaro berlinetta. Its been alot of work over the last 9 years. It was bought by my father, Larry as a fixer upper project for me. Originally came with a 145hp 305/ 200r4 (3speed trans)/3.23 gears....it was a berlinetta with Z28 options (remember that was fast in 1982....haha). There are pictures of the new paint job, old paint job, body work, mechanical buildup, dragstrip, etc. I put most of the main pictures on the first page...cause i see a lot of guys don't like to see all the pages.....so for those of you who are interested...feel free to check the other pages out. I have done all the work except for the new paint and body work. I am a member of the North East Ohio Camaro Club (NEOCC). Thanks for viewing and please let me know what you think and rate the ride if you have time i would appriciate it.***********************************************************************************new paint job with shaved handles,shaved key clinders, and shaved side emblem mounting holes, I custom Molded a z28 chin spoiler onto Berlinetta front end(just to be different) , GM Olympic White with gloss black hockey stripes and cowl accents (was in body shop for total of 6 weeks) :
