I still need wheels. I'm gonna put the chrome one's off the black one I bought on this one for now and repaint the salad shooters black or silver to go on the black one for when I sell it.
how much were you planning to sell it for? I am thinking about selling my camaro as well, i have dumped over $9000 replacing stuff/upgrades/mods/ into it not including the 4k i bought it for.

Probably ask for $5k, get talked down to $4k. $3500 is about the lowest I'll go. Hell, if I sold it for $2500 I'd still be making profit off it. The black one I own is all stock other than the SLP cat back, but it does have the M6 and t-tops going for it.

I wish i knew about cars before spending so much money on my camaro. I know im not going to get anywhere close to the amount i spent on it. But i went threw your build and it looks badass. Let me know what you end up selling it for

I'm not selling my red one. That'll never happen as I already decided my nephew gets it when he turns 16, whether my sister likes it or not.

The one I'm selling is this black one shown in the background here. I only paid $1500 for it, $250 for clutch job, and I'll have less than another $500 in it for paint and body parts.

Whatever I make off it goes toward my student loans and saving for down payment on a house.

The 8.5 isn't a drop in and go. I'm custom making mine to be used with the torque arm.

It never does. Plan is to have it back on the road in April. Works out because I need to renew my registration.
