Default Hello Everyone

Hello I'm new here to the forum, I have a 1978 Camaro that I have been rebuilding with my uncle since I was 15. As of now the car is soley mine. Its a 350 bored and stroked to a 383 with an upgraded transmission. She runs but is still in massive project mode.

An edelbrock 750 was thrown on it (yes I know its too big for a small block) but I didnt put it on. It needs 2 front seats is covered in rust and spray painted black just to match.

Thats why I'm here, to finish the project so any help in the future from anyone I greatly appreciate!!

I just ordered new rotors for the brake job I'm doing. Hopefully that will be done this weekend and it will be drivable, and I will take some new photos to throw up. Right now its nothing to really look at, all the work is under the hood.

Bingo!!!

Gave the car to a guy who said $800 he would paint the car at his shop.

3 months later I can't reach the guy, his number is out of service, so I drive to his shop to see what was going on and when I get there the cars sanded in random spots (where I saw it's been repainted several times) with the nose on the ground a few feet away, the shop was all boarded up and the key was inside the center console.

So my uncle and I said the heck with it and grabbed some black spray paint and had ourselves a fun sunday.
