Well i guess you should really make an exact outline of what you want first, colors and all. I spent quite a bit of money changing my mind lots of times on my car.
Are you planning on painting a car a certain color or do you want a done car you can just upgrade? That particular car looks really clean but has some rather ugly stripes just my opinion of course.. Sometimes its easier to find one that is kinda rough and doing body and paint yourself so you know what it has on it. That car could be full of bondo and who knows what, and once you find that out your going to be redoing it anyway, but you just paid a finished price for it, just an example.. if you can crawl all over it and under it with a flashlight and whatnot and it looks nice then that camaro does look pretty good. Another thing is if your going to change the interior color and all that you might as well get one with ratty interior and throw that in the garbage instead know what i mean..?

Your welcome to give me a call and discuss goal and budget. That is what we do. I probably do not have anything to sell you, but might be able to guide you.

Chris,

Your right, with the car, I will be throwing the interior away and having it repainted black or silver down the road.

I probably wouldn't wait to get rid of the sizzy strips by repainting the hood and trunk. They were done nicely. The strip are under the clear coat and supposedly it's PPG paint. Unfortunately, the blueish color on the strip looks a little girly to me.

My biggest attraction to the car is that the body is really clean in person. This would allow me to do the mechanical as the budget allows without having to worry about replacing the floor 1st, etc... This also would give me the opportunity to drive to car to church and enjoy it some on the weekends.

I will take a magnet next time I go see it make sure it's not a bondo queen.

Frank, I will try to call you today. Thanks for your time in advance.

Guys here's my goal. I'm looking to attack the build in stages over the next three years. I budgeting $20,000 for each year.

1) Suspension: DSE Sub, Quadra Link, Mini tub, Sub Frame connectors, Brakes and Wheels/tires.

2) Drivetrain: LS3, 5 or 6 Speed and all the other peripheral that come along with the conversion.

3) Interior: Black Deluxe, Dynomat, Upgraded front seat, etc.

4) Paint: Black or Silver, RS grille, cowl hood, etc.

I giving you my thoughts because I value the input.

Al, I think the blue one in the e bay ad looks good in the pics but I feel like the one up here is maybe a little closer to what you might want based on your outline for the future build. Let me know if you want me to go get better detail pics and a total rundown on the mechanical side of things. It is driver ready too so it could be enjoyed a bit before teardown. And I think the one up here could be had for less than the one on e bay.

PM sent with my cell number. What area code will you be calling from?
