MyNameIsLevi's 1979 Chevrolet Camaro

    The looks you get when your young and drive a classic muscle car is probally the greatest feeling that I've ever had. This car was a present to me by my loving parents and it will be with me forever.

Brief History

    I got the car about a year and a half ago as a graduation present from my parents. They had the car drug from it's year and a half grave in a yard and had all the body work and fresh paint.
    The previous owner had done a complete restore from the ground up almost. He then gave the car to his son as a gift, wow that seems to be a trend with this car, but he was t-boned like six months afterwards. Which is why the car sat in a yard for a year and a half. After that the kid had no real ambition to fix the car. What was wrong with this kid, i mean a classic like that. Anyways his misfortune is my good luck, I guess.

Engine

    Along with exterior resto the guy had also had the engine rebuilt. It's a pretty stock Chevy 350 LT1 with the four bolt mains. When I first got the car it had the original Rochester Quadrajet, but it was to far gone to fix and was replaced with a Edelbrock 600 cfm Performer series.
    This was in an attempt to fix a problem the car had developed only weeks after I recieved it. The cap would run fine some days and like shit others. I also replaced the starter, cause it was slipping, the car and rotors, and finally got the problem with the fuel pump.
    I know you people are saying why didn't you just start with the fuel pump and save money, but i was going to replace the carb anyways so why not first. Plus it also got rid of the cars high rpm bog.

    I have an edelbrock performer series intake that is just waiting to be sand blasted, cuase someone painted it blue. THe plan is to also put on some headers, I was thinking hooker or edelbrock and some nice shorties. Sidepipes is what I was thinking for the exhaust, but I can't find what I am looking for. They are all in chrome and i want a flat black so i might have to paint some. For right now the tweenty year old rusted glass packs and unfinished exhaust will have to do.
