Seeing your Trans Am makes me miss my 1985 Firebird. Was my first car and I still want one again, mostly to turn into a track day kind of car. My daily is 2006 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner. Its a 4.0 V6 236hp with 6spd manual for those that are curious. Bone stock and decently quick, handles great for a truck. I've been tempted many times to modify it, but my $ is being spent on the next car in this post.


This is my baby, 1967 Camaro. Started as a 6cyl Powerglide car, now has a mild 350 with a 350 trans that I can't wait to ditch for 5 or 6spd with a clutch. A few more rc items might have to go to make it happen sooner.
How she looked 2 years ago when I got her


Things quickly progressed to a total teardown. New floors, new outer rockers, new rear full quarters, new outer wheelwells, new cowl, new dash top, new door skins, all done by me. Thankfully not all with that Harbor Frieght welder, I upgraded to a Miller 211 shortly after this pic was taken. Yes I made the dolly the car is sitting on.


And how she sits now. Metal work basically done excpet for a couple patches around the windshield but otherwise ready for fenders and bodywork. Suspension is completely rebuilt, engine and trans are in, still need all new plumbing, wiring and interior though. Pic was taken during a short stay at fathers garage before coming to our new home.


Her new home


Pushed out to replace the clutch on the daily driver
