Well, I'll add more meat to this later but for now this is a good start. My sig has the up to date specs.



Old school pics of my 1st camaro, that ended up donating it's frame when I wrecked the new one. I spent most of the summer doing bodywork on the car.

These are pics my dad took before I bought the car. I actually never saw the car before I bought it. He told be about it over the phone and I said buy it. This was when I was 17 years old. I already had the other camaro to my name since I was 15.



Here's without the snow on top of it

I don't have many pics during this stage of the car's life. Didn't have a digital camera back then. But This is what I do have

Before I could afford wheels and tires

After about 6 months of saving, I bought wheels and tires and for $100 had the exhaust finished from purple hornies back.




1981gMachine 03-25-2008 10:41:23 PM

Then the wreck, happen a few months after I started driving the car. Inexperience plus, 4.10 posi equals bad news.




1981gMachine 03-25-2008 10:41:54 PM

So the only repair pics I have. My 1st camaro gave up it's frame for the wrecked one. I sanded the whole thing down and painted the frame and rad support. After a 12hr day we had everything swapped between the two cars except the sheet metal and small stuff.



1981gMachine 03-25-2008 10:42:24 PM

The car all fixed up



1981gMachine 03-25-2008 10:42:54 PM

Old taillights, and the ones I polished up for it



Did some suspension work, here are the few pics I have of it. QA1's at all 4 corners, plated the rear frame rails for strength. All brackets were made from scratch. Fatman Fab control arms in the front. Poly bushings everywhere I could put them. Solid motor mounts.

To end this for now I’ll post the “glamour shots”

I should fix that part. They were old ones that I polished up. I got them off of one of about 4 camaros I collected parts from. At one point I had 2 complete sets of interiors and a few left over pieces. Sold a few here and there.
