I will be updating with pictures and stuff of the few things where im going into detail on like the body work ect. But when it rains it poors, now im laid off tho and i have lots of time to fix it until about april of next year lol

A couple pics of the body work I have to do on the maro

a to do list always gets bigger, i received my drop spindles and coils for my truck but i have to finish meddling with the rear first so now i just wanna get everything done.
i got some free time right now but my buddys don't, i hope you get the chance to pull your stuff together

also, got any performance mods on the lss?

the thought crossed my mind lol. just to do the basic cai/pully swap with a new tune to bring it to about 300 hp for shits and giggles, but its my daily driver / work car shes got 231k miles on her atm lol. dont think it would be a smart thing to do lol.

http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/p/456-Stage-2-Performance-Package.aspx <-- the package to give it an extra 40 hp pretty close to 300 at the crank which is pretty nice

as it sits now. still waiting on getting a few things in. ive got my door and rear quarter for the camaro sitting in the garage. i just have to find time to start the work. havnt decided if im going to fix the body work and sell it for a newer f body or just stick with the lt1. i would love to get me a ls1 but with the money and time i would put into finishing my lt1 with paint and body work im thinking i may aswell just stick with it and do a top end kid from AI

which would be about my power goal id be looking to get. the goal is to get as close to 11.50 in the 1/4 as i can. figure that and a trans rebuild with some stickys and i would be pretty close. maybe after some internals a 100 shot plate kit and blow out my rear end in the process lol.

damn that looks like some nasty damage on the door.

ya its gonna take some time lol. the antena is all bent up and the mirror is gone to. gonna be lots of cutting and welding, ive never welded before either ><

is the door repairable? looks like a bitch trying to fiberglass that door lock back in just right.

there is like a fiberglass skin over the top of the actual door. i just went to the junkyard and cut one off tho lol. it looked like it was gonna be a pain to get just the skin off without fucking up the door itself.

bumping the thread, the goal is to start up the body work this weekend on the camaro and finish the van. never welded before hope i dont warp the metal when i try to weld on the new fenders lol

... man i remember the fisrt time i welded, shit even the first few dozen times i welded...
It's a fantastic skill to have, but i wouldn't recomend the first time you weld to do it on your car things can get sloppy and go south before you even know what's happening.

PLEASE find some metal to do some practice welds before you take the torch to your car.
