Previous Owner had someone put Trans Am T-Tops and i am guessing the fenders as well?

Ugly, awful interior pulled out the next day....

Floor had plenty of surface rust

18 at the time, didn't know much about curing rust so i bought Rustoleum Acrylic Primer :hah::hah::hah:

The Camaro was left alone for about 2 years, now that im older & work at a Paint Store & Body shop im coming back to it with much more knowledge!
Ive inspired myself to bring her back to life..

How she sit nows with Some American Racing Torq Thrust 15"& also replaced the T-tops with a hardtop, due to the weatherstrip not sealing at all with the T-Tops
also added a Fiberglass 2" cowl hood

Replaced the sending unit on the tank, while it was out i transformed this bad boy to this!!!

Then i coated the polished surface with some PPG DU100 clear!!
Looks much better underneath with my Full Stainless Steel Magnaflow Xpipe setup down there!!

My summit Order came in, upgrading my mechanical pump to a Holley Red 97gmp with Steel Braided lines

Upfront is all set & ready to go, never dealt with steel braided lines but man they are a hassle when you dont have that Koul Tool!!

Here is my bracket i will be using for my fuel pump, added some rubbers as well for vibrations.

This stuff works great!!!
