My 86 Camaro

Well now that the weather in Wisconsin is decent enough to bring out the car I took it out, washed it, and took a few pics. It is still a major work in progress but it is coming along nicely. As of right now I just put the front C6 wheels on. I need to get the adjustable panhard bar to center the rear yet. The IROCs went back on that day so it doesn't look stupid. The engine bay is a bit of a mess right now and the rear is a little messed up (I didn't do it. The kid I bought it from on here did it) but overall I think it is looking great. I also would of moved it to a better location rather than dead grass but as soon as I hit the gravel driveway with the exhaust dumped before the rear it would of kicked up some dust. Anyways here is the link.

Enjoy!

Re: My 86 Camaro

Yea I am not sure if I like it myself either. The hood and the high rise came with the car when I bought it. I think the ss hood is better with the high rise but not so good with the old GFX though it doesn't really bother me too much. Also forgot to mention it is a South Carolina car so it has piratically no rust. Only bad spot I found is in the engine bay under the battary. I added a few more pictures of the the exhaust and what it looked like when I bought it.

Re: My 86 Camaro

the sun really kills red interiors. my 85 has red on the seats....well once it had red on the seats, now its more of a whitish pink color. i'm glad you removed the Z- Rated thing, that looked tacky

Yes I noticed this myself. From what I gather the last guy said he got it that way from South Carolina from all the sun they have there. Also the rear deck on the outside has wear spots in the paint from the sun and the top around the t-tops have piratically no clear left. Also the last guy must of took a buffer to it and did it wrong with the amount of scratches and swirl marks.
