"If it was easy..."

Story

My wife told me I couldn't have another Corvette, because we have 2 boys and they always wanted to ride at the same time. So a Camaro with Corvette stuff was a natural and I wanted a challenge. First time I saw the car it was in the barn (along with 5 others). Goal was to build a Camaro with Corvette suspension and fuel injected technology using GM parts found in salvage yards (a 2000 SS Camaro was the donor car for LS1, T56, radiator & accessories, and a 95 Corvette for the Dana 44 IRS) the internet and 'barns'. I wanted to do as much of the work as possible including sanding, blasting, scraping, wiring, wrenching, buffing, polishing, and installing. Nearly 2 years spent (internet & telephone) making sure it would ( or could) work and that the techno gliches could be overcome or figured out. So far so good. Thanks to Wayne, Brian and my wife for understanding while she still 'doesn't get it'.
