67 Camaro Project Dirt Dobber....

[JChristian1835]

Ha, well this is my project affectionately named because it has been setting since may 1998. It was sunk 4 inches into the mud and had dirt dobber nests all in it. Sunday it'll be loaded on the trailer to head down to orlando with me.

Well after setting since 98 the car was moved from it's once thought "resting place". Just hit it with the pressure washer today and took some wonderful interior shots.

i like the color scheme and how the stripes are layed maybe redo it that way?

the interior whoa not feeling that style lol

[JChristian1835]

Dunno where I'm gonna go with the paint yet... I'm thinking a two tone look. Not many camaros with that but almost every other one has a stripe or two.. lol. Yeah the interior is HIDEOUS. That will be going away quickly

I bet that car was so badass back in the day.
I'll be watching the build.

Any thoughts on drivetrain yet?

[JChristian1835]

It'll be an LSx with a T56. Just don't know what route I wanna go with yet. Moving has taken a chunk of some money. I can't believe a moving truck rental place won't let me rent one for less than a week. That's madness. Oh well. We'll see how it goes and I'll talk with frank and we'll see where I wanna go with it.

sweet find..gotta love the tuck and rolled dash..be nice ppadding if ya crashed..lol

[JChristian1835]

Yeah.. I was NOT a fan of the interior at all.. Got a neat update though. The engine kinda fired today. It sputtered for a second and then died. But for setting for 12 years I'm pretty suprised. When I parked it, it barely ran.

[Code Red]

so how long have you owned it for?

[JChristian1835]

since I was 13.. I bought it for $200 and it was supposed to be a project for my first car but I never got around to it...

[JChristian1835]

Funny story about buying it. I never got allowance or anything growing up. My parents said I would do my chores because I loved them. But I did get $2 for lunch every day. I went through a year of not eating lunch and originally wanted to buy a playstation. BUT, dad said he had a friend that wanted to sell the car and it would be something I'd work on for my first car. Guy ran it into a guard rail. Parked it and never touched it. I always swore I'd start working on it but at 15 I got a job as a detailer at a local dealership and bought a truck, so the camaro kept getting put off..
