My 1987 Chevy Camaro

Hopefully they dig hoodscoops, could use a gf A lot of people have falmed me for putting that hood scoop on it but it will help cover up the horrible blemishes in my hood.

Got it paitned, everything looks good excepted my body work on the hood just sucked, may eventually get a new one and have it painted, well see how it looks after the lcear isn't so shiny!

for 800 bucks for body work and paint I can't complain, its a nice color, its one color, and theres no rot

Looks really good. What happened to the hood scoop though? Oh well, anyways looks great and it should be a good first car. Oh, and what is your father doing to the car in the last picture (at least I'm guessing it's your father)?

The hood scoop is in the trunk and painted. Me and my dad were picking everythign apart on it.

Long awaited updates.....

accident double post...

Dude that thing looks sik!! Great paint choice and I personally like the hood scoop

Car is looking really good, but I think if you took the time to make the scoop seamless it would have been even better

But that is one sick ride.

I must be of that .006% as I get away with cargo pants, then again it is about all I wear in the winter (pants wise). Although I do wear jeans every now and then, I can't stand them all that much. lol

Sk8r-Thanks glad you like the scoop.

Evil-wouldve loved to but it wasnt the time it was the fact that when closing the hood the bondo would eventually crack Even with the fiberglass on it.

I guess I should update with some pics, havent worked on it in a month due to snow and cold weather but this is where i left off...CAUTION PIC HEAVY









Started on teh engine compartment









Center console wrapped in vinyl



More pics of certain stuff upon request.

Looks good, nice job wrapping the center console, Oh and I like the seat covers too.

Thanks, it took a lot of trial and error to get the vinyl on the edges of the wood to curve just right. I beleive I picked up the seat covers at walmart for 40$ just to protect my mint seats. Not the best fitting covers I've seen though.

What's been added since last time:
Camaro mud flaps
Rubber side moldings
pioneer speakers
seat covers center console
new shiny emblem (not pictured)

All I can remember as of now...

looking sick man... you make me really jealous right now lol... Im almost 17 and still dont have my license... but it is confirmed that im getting a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis with less than 60K miles, brand new tires and breaks, in mint condidtion for free from my grandfather once i get that plastic card in my wallet =P

don't feel bad i'm 17 and i could've gotten my licence since last july, but still no, i don't think i'm gunna even get a car till sophmore year in college at this point....

the lug

Don't be that jealous, I've had this car sitting in my driveway for 6 MONTHS and I still don't have my permit, I'm getting it february vacation, really excited. You need to get that plastic card man! You can't pass up free! THen again it does cost a lot of money. By the time I'm done with lessons and insurance I"ll be in the 3 grand range...massachusettes laws are REDICULOUS.

I blame the Kennedy family...the insurance companies have to make back all of the money they lose on drunk driving accidents...and in Massachusetts historically 80% of those are Kennedys' .

And the worst part is that the classes are a joke....so its a big waste of money...

Here, Barber driving school, you just need to convince your parents to invest a little money and take a short drive (Like Rock Conn.) and you'll be the best driver around.

Or make the trip to Ohio and go to the Drivers School at the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course ...and be sure to wave as you pass my house.

I have seen some of those schools, they signifcantly lower your insurance, one of the girls in my classes is going to take one of the courses.

I highly doubt I'll be taking any roadtrips in the nearby future.

i'm gunna get my "licence" in time so i can drive people with my graduted licence in time for college... do they require you to get the real deal once you turn 18, cuz that'd suck if they did cuz i'm not gunna be that close to home...

the lug

Is there a difference now? We used to have a "probationary" license, but the only real difference was they could take it away easier.

Well you get what is called a "Junior Operator Liscence" and there are certain restrictions like you can't have other people in your car for the first 6 months besides immediate family. You lose your liscence with one speeding ticket and any other moving violation not associated with the vehicle. You hav e aliscence its just they place those certain restrictions of not being able to drive past 12:30 to like 5 until your 18.

yup, and its kinda annoying cuz now i gotta figure out what i need to do to go from a J.O. Licence to a full on one while at college.... cuz i'm not gunna go to school in vt.... so my JO isn't vaild i don't think....

the lug

I don't know the rules where you live but it shoudl be on your states website...

It was a nice 45 degrees out so my brother and I went to autozone to get some stuff, I picked up a spectre 3X6 inch pipe and filter. Beat the cracked up not much filtering previous stock intake...

ohh that does look like a nice upgrade

yeahh but that means like opening the DMV handbook or going to the site... its like WORK!!!

the lug

LOL I already took the Drivers ed class so I know it all (well most of it anyway, can't beat expirience!).
