Well for those of you that have not seen any of my other posts, the camaro is now sitting in my grandma's garage until I can come home everyone once and awhile from college. I'm now attending Kansas State University and majoring in Mechanical Engineering and planning to minor in Management/Business. I was also selected to be on the Track and Field/Cross Country team here which has been going great. I wanted to run at a D1 college and this worked out perfectly.
There won't be many updates as I won't be able to work on the car a whole lot.
Here's a pic the last night I had her out, I went to cruise and ate dinner with the family.
And all tucked away in the garage. I did put a cover on the car and that's how it'll sit for a couple months anyway
But college is already a blast, I'm loving it!
There's still lots to be done, which will get done when time is available! But right now college is priority- working hard, meeting people, and most of all having fun

Well progress the past 6 months has been about nothing...I've been at college and the car has been back at home. College has been going great and I've been able to travel across the nation for cross country!
I was able to get a new rear bumper without the huge guards from a parts car, and the front I should get here in the next few months once we can get it off. But I was able to get the car out while I was home for winter break and stuck the nastyz28 decal on my front spoiler, so here's my update

Pretty hot pictures, bro. I like it and I'm not normally one for the big bumpers period. Good job on it and keep up the good work.

Thanks man! My new camera makes a world of difference. I'm trying to keep the car clean while adding a few custom touches. Appreciate the comment

REAR BUMPER SWAP & TUCK
Finally got the car back for the summer and time to get to work!
Well I was able to get a hold of pretty decent rear bumper and brackets without the guards and decided to swap it for mine. It was pretty straight forward, especially since my previous bumper had been removed before. Wish I had more pictures, but here it is! In the process I tucked the rear bumper in probably around an inch or inch and a half. I love the way it looks! You can't tell either, but I painted all the brackets and the backside of the bumper black which cleaned it up a lot. Also polished the front which made it shine up pretty well! It isn't perfect, but it makes for a better looking driver
Before (old bumper)
Old bumper removed
New bumper!!
Let me know what you guys think!
