Story

I bought my Camaro in San Diego for $1700.00 23 years ago, rebuilt it ran it around and parked it here in the Chicago area in a damp garage. Fifteen years and some mice took there toll. In January of 2002 I started to take it apart. When it's done it will be low and fast .It's gonna be a looker and handle like a Z 06 Corrvete, Mabey better?
