This car was bought from the junkyard for 500 bucks it was bought with an engine fire blue interior and rust. It was orignally supposed to be stock and just a daily driver but driving all stock with stock everything just doesnt cut it, I have 3 1980 camaros and all the new parts go to number 1 car nos parts and the cream of the crop. the used to be greatest parts get transfered to car 2 this one then this ones parts get moved to car 3, even car 3 is better than alot out there but im just a sick sick man. here are some progress pics for you guys to enjoy.

the paint on it is out of a spray can, its bright beauty laquer from the auto parts store, all i did is wait for a big rain storm went out with some sand paper and wetsanded with 600 then 1000 and then painted it the next day when it was sunny, the paint holds up fine and has been on there for a while with no signs of fading, the best part about it it just looks like a old faded black car not a regular primered maro. the paint will do for now but adventually it will get painted silver like it was from the factory.
