Here is my Camaro. This pic was taken circa 1998 when it still ran. It is a restoration project I've been wanting to start since I bought the car when I was 17. BUT, as I have read on here like many others this project got put on the back burner for a LONG time. It still might be a year or so before I can even start working on it as I am about to get married, so all my savings are getting funneled in that direction. No worries about my future wife being against this rebuild though. She has seen the car and knows how much I loved it when I was a kid. She is actually looking forward to it getting back on the road one of these days.

Dang vowels! FYI I think I've always misspelled it. My bad...LOL

Thanks for the comments!

I will get pics of the LT in its current condition sometime soon. Believe me, it will not be a pretty sight.


I like this site. There doesn't seem to be alot of post flaming like on the motorcycle boards I'm on.

Usually you hear the story "Getting married need to sell". I guess you are one of the lucky ones. Welcome aboard and good luck to you on your restoration.

Updated pictures

Here are some pics of how my LT sits today. I took these this afternoon.

Fairly decent sheet meatal. There is cancer in the rear quaters though.

I think these are Z28 wheels. If I'm incorrect, please, someone let me know. And Whatyear Z28 they are off of???

The badge is still on it.

And the most important pic of all.
