Ive always wanted a split bumper Camaro and in September I finally got one(Its a clone and I don't care).The car spent a lot of its life on an 1/8 mile drag strip and that's how I bought it. This is a pic of the first day in her new home.
194974
The car is in pretty nice condition rust wise. Drivers side floor board has already been replaced along with a lot of other metal. I do have to do about a 6x6 panel repair on the passenger side floor board since somebody just filled some rust holes with bondo. Hopefully not a big deal.

So anyway, I pulled fenders and hood and started the paint prep process on the subframe. luckily the subframe mounts had already been replaced so I didn't have to go that far.I also ordered my Vintage Air kit and My hidden wiper system at this time. Here is the frame all painted
194976
By this point I received my BMR front suspension and Viking coil overs and installed all of that
194977

Since at this point I'm still waiting on my vintage air kit to get here and I am relocating my wiper motor to inside the cowl I decided I wanted to clean up the firewall so I got me some sheetmetal and started the process of smoothing the firewall. Im still working that process at this time as well as figuring out how I want to run the wiring system

Great build start and great to have you here in the forum. I went with Raingear wipers in the cowl, a very nice setup.
Good luck and keep it up.

Looking like some good progress.
I really like the BMR torque arm and watts link.
