Default Howdy

Hello, my name's Joe and I recently (January) purchased one helluva beat up T-top 1984 Camaro Z28, with no motor or driveshaft, and a door that's obviously a replacement.

I did however luck out on three things. First the T-Tops are perfect, and they don't leak. Second the transmission is a recently rebuilt 700R4 with a shift kit that has less than 1000 miles on it since the rebuild. Third, I only payed $150 dollars for it.

I plan on using a 350, of course the rest of the car (suspension, body, interior, lack of drive shaft) is FAR from making use of any motor so that's going to be on hold for a long time.

My project for the next few weeks is to re-paint and work on the interior, as the car is in dire need of TLC on the outside Right now it is silver and I'm going to be painting it white, with the fake ram-air hood dams blue. I hope to have pictures soon for you all.

I was considering selling them, but then I remembered I would have to buy new ones... and almost all decent to nice looking new ones are 18"+ rims... Low profiles are hard to get on to the rims too...

Will do. Though, it just snowed here so it'll be a while before I can even get the paint done.
