Back Ground
This was my first ThirdGen Camaro.  It was bought in 1992 for $2500 with 74000 original miles on a completely stock Camaro Berlinetta. It has undergone MANY changes over the years and continues to be the car I thrive to drive as often as I can !  Just after rolling over 100K the car got it's first MAJOR overhaul with the installation of a 350HP 355ci ( built by Golens Engine Service ). That was back around 99 and the car became a "seasonal" car at that time.  I then added a 9-Bolt 4.35 Rear end and a T56 6-speed followed a few seasons later.  The Interior was built slowly over time and the seats were re-covered by a local upholstery shop using NOS fabric over 1984 Duel Trans Am LS Conteur Bucket seats.  ( Rear Seats are factory seats ).       

I was able to enjoy a few years  without any significant changes and it was great being able to enjoy the car for the entire season time and time again.  But - as is always the case -  The body took some abuse over the years and it's 10+ Y/O Green / Black Stripe paint needed to be fixed.  (Someone backed into the nose at a gas station and a bad storm blew the cars shelter around causing rear bumper and quarter panel damage. )  Since the car is no longer in service,...... I figured this would be the best time to do some additional mechanical adjustments too while I was at it !

As I write this ( 12-03-11 ) the Body has been COMPLETELY stripped back to metal and coated in Etch Primer.  The Plan is to be able to get the minor bodywork and prep done early in the spring so the car can be painted.  I have not FIRMLY decided on colors yet - but am leaning @ green again ! )  Once painted the new drive-train needs to be be installed by late spring  so teh bugs can be worked out and it will be road worthy for the Summer 2012.  The new Rear end ( 4th gen with 4.11 gearing and LS1 Rear Brakes) and Fuel Injection Fuel Tank/Pump, and new Sub-frame connectors have already been installed. The Replacement engine ( 95 LT1 ) has been partially built but there still wiggle room for improvement !.  Here are a few pictures showing some of the progress that I've made to date.
