Yeah i am only doing the front but its turning out to be a fun project. I always love working on my car getting dirty its a good feeling, and when you finally get in and see it work it makes you feel even better.

Yeah im really working on that project. I have an engine picked out locally for $700 and it comes with all the hoses and everything so im pretty phsyced but i just need the money first. I am getting close but i really cant wait to start on that project. The engine is running with only 20,000 miles on it because it was rebuilt so all i have to do is bolt it in and get a bell houseing to fit my 5spd and im set then i get some new headers and new carb and new exhaust and ill be pushing way more than now. Cant wait to get started. I am 16 with a job but as you know when your 16 jobs dont pay to well so for a 16 year old driving a camaro for a first car it can be expensive

Lol I was in the exact same boat in HS. I have a 1979 Camaro I'm building up. I bought it was 17. I worked 2 jobs my senior year. Freshmen year of college I picked up a 3rd. My daily driver is a 2001 Chevy S10 lol. My daily driver in hs was an 01 Ford Explorer though. I had to sell it cuz my parents and sister ruined it.
