yeah thats a good way to do it also wich is the way i will start doing soon because of finances find some things that i can improve or fix without alot of money if there is such a thing.LOL

 

I kinda hop around depending on how I feel, or how it works out. I have been spreading body filler, so while it sets up I go sand something. Then come back to the filler and work it down. Maybe jump to something mechanical if sanding get old.
When something has to be figured out I go to something else, but keep thinking how to attack another problem. If I think of a possible plan I jump back and attack the problem. But sometimes I just stand and stare at the car until I either figure it out, or give up and go inside the house.
There are certain methods to doing some tasks and I stick to them, but otherwise I just do what feels right.

 

yeah thats kind of what i do to,but soon my harness from ATM will be here and i have enough to keep me busy for a while,just love doing a complete rewire,for some reason im pretty good at wiring and finding electrical problems.i also love bodywork and im pretty good at that also,took auto body in high school,i just love working on my camaro all in general help me relax,except when things get messed up,and im hard on myself because im a profectionist so have lots of patients to do it right,if i have to do it 10 times,guess thats part of my mild case of ocd.

 

i guess its all just my love for camaros,i have deep passion for camaros and know have the chance to build my dream 80 camaro just like my dad had,i also have an 87 iroc but it just isnt the second gen that i love,i also have owned an 88 formula 350 since new,its alright but just cant haNDLE THE POWER IM PUTTING OUT.

 

its beautiful day to day but im kind of at a dead end and its driving me crazy,one minute i wanna make my car a 70-73 clone the next i vote to keep it an 80 its really making me crazy,the thing is all the parts to make my car an early second gen is readily available thats what makes my decision hard,the back i know i can do,the front i deffanetly can do so what keeps stopping,please help me decide before i go crazy.and every time i see a 70-73 camaro i fall inlove with it and change my mind.

 

You wont be happy until you have one, so either sell it and buy one, or make one!

 

i know thats what i have decided build it once the way i want it or i wont be happy ur exactly right,if u just make it an 80 i will never be hapy in few yers i would just end up doing it over again,do it just once and be done with it,.so the 71 camaro rs/ss it is.my car is defanetly gonna have to be a split bumper car.love them,not much protection but they look awesome

 

now that i have made my final decision on the 71 front end,,i need to come up with a parts list of all the parts i need to locate for my swap,guess its time to do some searching

 

I'll say it again. Make a plan, write it down and stick to it. If you don't you'll never get it done. If you flip flop all the time you'll get no where. I have a plan and I'll stick to it.My car will never be "done" though. So I build it with that in mind. The color/body I'm firm on. I won't stray from that. But engine and tranny mods, well I'm already planning my next motor and I haven't had this on on the road yet.

I also love the early cars. I want one too. But I want my 80 as well. I think in the end I will look for a car that is nice enough to drive as is. I am really thinking it will be a 70ish Trans Am though. A bone stock SD replica will be fine and because its a replica it will be cheaper.

 

thats why its so hard to deside i love the 70-73 but i also love the 79-81.so either one i decide will be right for me and if i dont like how it turns out i will change,its the only thing i can do,just my engine alone cost over 8,000 dollars with the fuel injection by holley,so i dont think i will be changing engines for a while.maybe turbo charge it in the future,maybe when it gets broke in.
