Camaro

Bought this car back in 94 with my dad for $1000. The body was not great then and it ran like ****. We had it stripped down, Dad wanted a prostreet and we had a a hot 454, BUILT. We tinkered around when we had time and money. I left for the service and after I came back, mom and dad were divorced, Dad was lazy and left the B.B. with my mom. She left it when she moved out so there was a loss. it sat in a barn for four years, we moved it out to an uncle’s shed in in 2000. Found out, that uncle sold the 327 and trans for himself, so there it sat. Decided, with my oldest son, at 12 to go get it and get moving on it. Was going to do a crate but was talked into fuel injection, so I’m doing LS and T56 conversion. It is now out at a friend’s shop getting the “in between job’s” rate along with all the free powder coating on his line.

LS

Rear seat frame and springs were blasted and powder coated. Fronts would require the same if the springs weren’t broke. I think the fronts suck so I’m going with a new set, probably from TMI. Going with pearl white seats and door panels. Black on everything else.

Both qtrs and fenders were junk, tail pan and driver’s door, which was set on concrete in a barn for 16 years.
Going with a deep cobalt blue and pearl white hockey stripes.

2” hotchkis lowering springs up front
1.5” hotchkis lowering leafs in the rear.
