Well guys this is my real first post. I'm trying to get more involved with the community of Pro Touring and meet some fellow Camaro guys here in Denver. My project started as a nice looking buy from E bay which as we all know is not the way to buy a car. You have to understand my personality is very anal and very attension to detail. Upon recieving the car, it looked great in my garage but driving it was a joke. The rear right tire rubbed when you turned and a lot of other misc items. After three months I took the car to a few custom body shops and received a lot of info like, rear quarters were riveted on, rust in the floor pan, the trans was supposed to be a munchie but it was a Saginaw etc. I had to have the car right. I contracted a shop to do all the body work which I could not do. He made it sound like the car would be done in about a year. The car was a complete rotisserie. once I started the project I could not stop my self. I needed it to look like the cars on the internet. The motor became an LS 3 out of a 2010 camaro with a 6 speed tremic, Detroit speed front sub frame, Detroit speed four link rear, Mini tubs, welded in sub frame connectors, Bosie wheels Billet hinges, Bear 13" slotted and drilled rotors with 6 piston calipers on all four, tru tract 12 bolt shortened with 32 spline moser axles. The exhaust is stainless 2 1/2" with magna flow mufflers. Fast forward to three years and the car is about to come home. I have a ton of work to get the car driving. I will be doing a lot of research on this web sit and looking for advise when I get to the different stages. Here is a picture of the car as it is now. Sorry. I tried uploading a before and after pic but I think the file is to big. Thank you for all who respond

well good luck! Seems like you have a lot of time to research and ask questions to formulate the perfect plane if it will be in body/paint jail for that time! Good luck for your build. You can change the picture size in photo bucket as well!
