Exclamation fresh meat

hey guys, introducing myself.
95 camaro, base model.
hit a tree shortly after i got it, bad tires, not giving my lil ol v6 enough credit.
almost finished with the rebuild il post some pictures.
gotta weld in the missing chunk, part unibody part core support. then i can put it all back together!
shes from Florida. best looking 4th in my area (PA)

next project is a swap when i get the money.
im against v6 sports cars to be honest, in my opinion i have a CAMARO
therefore it needs to be FAST
or what is even the point?!
you guys feel me?

ive always looked at swap threads on here.
got my doner picked out, 96 z28 blown head gasket. garage stored, 99000!!!
so hopefully sooner than later it will be a true camaro.

love the site! helped me out SO many times when stuck with somethin on the marah! thanks

Welcome to the forum Woodstock, if the donor car just has a blown headgasket, why are you transing the engine into your V6?

especially when you wrecked the V6 car youll never get that car straight again the slightest tweak in the unibody and it will drive crooked

Hey! Finally someone close to my home...er..sorta. You're 2 1/2 hours North of me...but I don't know any one on here that's closer (except Cheeks when I'm at college). Welcome to the forums!

I'm curious too as why you would go through the whole swap if the donor only has a blown head gasket. Unless the PO parted the car?

i suppose i should clarify, my red, wrecked, 3.4, 1995 is the one im fixing. i have a rusted out 96 3.4 as a doner car to fix the 95.
as far as the 350 swap its something i would like to do, but havent started. depending on the body, if it is as nice as mine, i might just fix the head gasket. i try not to get ahead of myself, il get mine back on the road first. just somethin ive been thinkin about. all depends on the body of the z28

my frame rails arent to far off, ive done everything from truck and chains, to porterpowers. and its sooo close! i need a bigger porter this one i have dosent have enough guts to finish the job.
i had drove the car after the wreck, before any work was done. it drove straight as an arrow and felt the same as before. that was one of the deciding factors on repairing or scraping.
anyone elese feel the frame is toast and un-repairable?
because i do not.

this forum is the **** btw! ive been on here years diggin around for stuff. best decision i ever made was to start an account haha.

thanks guys.
