Nice score Steve, you just can't get enough of LSX powered 1st gens. That looks like a pretty solid body which is the main thing.

I'd like to see the most you could get out of a stock subframe with say DSE coil overs and ATS spindles. Maybe try out an air-bar or g-bar rear suspension. I'd paint it charcoal metallic grey on black ralley stripes. With some charcoal centered Fikse profil 5s 18's. And for power I'd do a pullout 6.0L truck motor with L92/L76 setup and a T56. Let's see if you can do a budget build without it snowballing too much

If your gunna do the budget deal, I say a budget street fighter would be cool. First gen without all the bling would be diff at this point.

Steve, just buy it. You need it. It needs you.

<edit> Oh wait, I see that you pulled the trigger. Excellent.

Looks good to me! Should be able to build a real nice car with what you have in mind.

Like Anthony said...This will be fun to watch. Though I'm betting it will be more wild than mild knowing you.

Personally I don't see the point in building another camaro pro-touring style when you have Penny... which has pretty much every pro-touring bell and whistle you can imagine.

I'm probably gonna get al kinds of crap for even suggesting this, but maybe since you already have arguably one of the nicest pro-touring camaro builds out there, why not try building something a little more like pro-street meets pro-touring meets street racer... like some big shiny wheels, with plenty of tire in the back, a huge cube LSX with forced induction, and some nitrous maybe... I dunno. I feel like something like that could potentially be a lot of fun to build.

I have to agree, flat black is getting a little too done. Maybe tone on tone with a flat grey, with gloss grey graphics, and then flat black powder coat the trim. Do your motor up in grey's and brushed look. Just a couple of ideas for color schems....

Sent you a PM, I have some great ideas for wheels!

Default Congrats on the new purchase.

Nice looking car!

I would make it a track rat just like you stated earlier. Epoxy primer (tinted to your choice of colors) , full cage, LSX motor and aftermarket subframe. I think you will have about the same amount in modifying stock one. Maybe even some steel NASCAR rims and rubber....slight flair of fenders on all corners.

Keep Penny shiney and beat the crap out of Buffalo (as in Buffalo nickle)

So you don't answer your PM's? What do I need to do to get on the A list? LOL
