Project Dullboy

[GM Muscle]

Hey guys. Im not a new member here but I've been lurking and posting in here and there. I'm thinking its officially time for a project build thread. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes me a dull boy.". After owning the car for years its been through a lot of changes, stages and swaps. I paint cars for a living and do a lot of side work on the weekends. sometimes i i feel like im burnt out on working on cars from messing with them all day and I just want to be able to enjoy my camaro. This time is the last time around! All work and no play has made me a dullboy. So I've officially named my project "Dullboy".

I find a lot of these builds to be rather intimidating budget-wise but i always try to make to due. Best bang for the buck is what i strive for. Ill try to find some time and post up a lot of pics and procedures i went through. Im about half done with it now and really hope to cruise it around feb/march, although it will prolly be more like next december! I better get back to work!
