There's a whole mess of pix... go to www.transamcountry.com or www.performanceyears.com or even p-t. com
They do look nice!

Thanks man! I love the BRE rims but they are too much, so 17in Snow Flakes are the way to go, would like to see what 17 or 18 inch TT2's would look like, but I want to keep it fairly stock looking.

I tried to start the car today, and about an inch or two of gas shot up out of the carburetor. I already bought a rebuild kit so my stepdad and I are going to work on it when he gets home. Hopefully she will run today.
Going to flush the brake lines tomorrow and then the Camaro is probably going to be sold :(

Also, putting up a pic of a car with 17inchers. Definitely a win, but the car looks like it needs to be lowered a little.

Well, wasn't getting spark so it wouldn't start. Going to look at it tomorrow and see whats going on.

Car runs now!! Bleeding the brakes tomorrow. Needs 1 rotor and brake pads for sure.

Why not install a pair of rotors??? Iundertand your on a budget there Trey but I have never just installed 1 rotor. Just my .02

When the camaro is gone I will. But right now I am just trying to get the necessities down so I can get the T/A on the road :thumbsup: Don't worry, most of the crap is going to be restored or replaced at one point.

The brakes right now are hands down the worst part of the car, and it all needs to go during summer.

But once we bleed the brakes tomorrow I am going to take it around the block. 1/8th of a mile shouldn't hurt much.

Got the front brakes done and had some fun with it. Put new rotors, calipers, pads and a master cylinder on the front. Going to need two weeks of cash to get the rear brakes done. Going to get calipers, pads and rotors for both sides ;).

Total into the car is $265

Very cool. now you have a great ride for the summer.
I watched the burnout videos, I can't wait to toast the tires on my own now!
You have a pretty cool car. Keep us posted on the progress please.

I bet you could get that paint to shine up. Claybar and some wax would do alot.
