dustinpscamaro’s 1988 Chevrolet Camaro

Coming together. Still not sure why the paint looks so light grey in some pics... MotorThe motor is going to be shipped to TPIS for a full strocker build. They are an awesome company and I like the piece of mind that comes with a trusted shop doing the build. Not to mention its a fair price for a 500 hp motor! The PaintExterior: PPG BlackEngine Bay, Ground Effects, Mirrors, Spoiler: PPG Graphite

We got much better as we went along! It took some time to decide on where to run the back bars. In the end I was pleased with the results. Easy to cut the carpet around them and it will look like it came from the factory like this when its done!

UPDATE:Go to Page 3 to see the new PaintProject in the WORKS!I have tried to include most of the parts I have as of now, but I am sure I missed things.ALL of the work has been done in my garage. It is something I NEVER want to do again without a lift. Its amazing how hard it is to clean the underneath of a car on jack stands, nevermind paininting it!Suspension/Chasis/Brake Upgrades:Hotchkis 1” Drop Spring SetJ&M Products Adjustable Caster/Camber PlatesHotchkis Sport Suspension Anti-Sway Bar Kit ( 1 7/16” Front & 1” Rear)KYB GR-2 Gas Strut  (Front)KYB GR-2 Gas Shock  (Rear)Stainless Steel Brakes Quick Change Caliper Upgrade KitPower Stop Cragar Cryogenic Performance Brake RotorsEnergy Suspension Tie Rod End Dust BootsEnergy Suspension Ball Joint Dust BootsGlobal West Suspension Coil Spring SpacersEarl's Performance Hyperfirm Brake Line KitsRear Disc ConversionBMR Steering Brace (red)BMR Tubular Rear Lower Control Arms (red)Hotchkis Adjustable Tubular Panhard Bar (red)UMI Performance Front Lower Control Arms (red)Roll CageFinally got it on a lift. Looks GREAT!

One of my favorite parts of the car. This is my 4th third gen and it had to be a 6 speed!Starting to wire everything. Removed the heater core and all vent related parts. Frees up a ton of room and makes everything a lot easier to work with. I won't need heat or a/c anyways, this girl will never see a bad day!

Hawks rear disc conversion for the rear (Left over from the Z28. The IROC came stock with disc, but since I had this kit, I used it) DRIVETRAIN:What I have so far...TA Performance 9-Bolt Rear End Support Diff CoverT-56 6 Speed w/ all required conversion parts and clutchEnergy Suspension Transmission MountBMR Torque Arm Rear Mounting Hardware KitTransmission Crossmember BoltsSpeed Slave Cylinder SpacerVehicle Speed Sensor

I removed ALL heat and a/c related parts and vents so I am going to put my switches in the HVAC control area. This is a mock I made out of cardboard, its going to be perfect. None of the wires had to be spliced either, they are plenty long enough, you just have to disconnect them from the original position and follow them all the way back to the area under the dash. The trunk release is CLOSE, it has to be run under the d/s carpet!
