Hey guys, name's Chris.
About me: I am enlisted in the United States Army, and am currently deployed in Afghanistan. I am and always have been a big Camaro fan. Before purchasing my current 1980 camaro, I owned a 1992 RS 305 TBI anniversary Camaro. When I deployed I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, so had to sell her. since being over here I thought I earned another Camaro so I bought my 1980. My 1980 has a 427 with 500 miles on it, it has a mighty demon carb msd DIST, 6al box, and some other goodies. The trany is a bulletproof hughes with a 3000 stall converter. Has subframe connectors and traction bars. things that I do have to work on though however are the door hinges, they sag. weather stripping, and some trim work. I got to drive it when I was home one leave for the first time a few months back and it is an amazing experience. Hope to ask you guys some questions down the road. thanks for reading.

Welcome Chris! Thanks for serving in the Army! That's a beautiful car, and probably doesn't need much to be perfect! My '71 has the same engine, and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it!

I am currently doing the LS1 conversion. The same as a C5 except smaller rotors. 12" verse 13". I got the prints for the brackets and am saving tons by doing this my self. Buying parts is nice but the satisfaction from "building" my car can't be matched.

pyrostick, first, thanks for serving. I'm an Army vet and i have a daughter in the Air Force currently at Travis AFB (Ca.) she has a 96 RS convertable. Your 80 is really nice. I'm doing the BB (454) swap into my 79 real soon. Good luck with your tour and be safe so we can keep helping each other here!
