Default New here, buddys 1980 camaro (resto project)

This is my buddies 80 z28 camaro. we took this car from some driveway in junkyard condition to this work in progress took us about 3 years.

Custom dash w/ autometer gauges. MSD mounted behind the dash. Hypertech ignition, stock 350 w/ TH400 w/ transpak. these came with the car (Torker intake, edelbrock carb, thumper heads), electric fan, HO alt, headers, flowmaster crossflow exhaust, hi flow fuel pump, stainless fuel lines and brakelines, full hotchkis suspesion, es bushings, lowering springs, red koni adjustables, new lowered leafsprings, all new seals, 2 layers of dynamat on the whole car, welded in new floor panels, C&C t-tops (note, the seals cost $400 a side) plus lots more that i can't think of. And lots more to come (hint stroker motor, new rear, roll cage, finish the interior, stainless tips, blacked out chrome)





trying to get a pic of the C&C t tops sticker

And this is my car, it's not a chevy, but a ford.....[&:]

A 1991 Lincoln Mark VII
Stock 302 5.0 (for now). I have modified a mustang exhaust 2.5"(bbk h pipe, custom flow tubes, 40 series, and stainless tips, all mandrel bent) Added in some cross drilled/slotted rotors, some BBS rims and Falken tires.





This is my towncar next to my Mark VII... one day I will own a chevy. probably a truck.

Hehe... I knew I'd get knocked for drivin' a Ford, but hey, it's a nice car. We have much love for Camaros. His brother in law owns a 67 camaro that is currently down to just a frame and body, that is our current project. If I found the right camaro, i'd get one, just havn't seen it yet!

Does anyone know if these Cars & Concepts t-tops are rare? Took us almost 2 years to find seals, and at a hefty price. I know they are out of business, so just wondering...

Welcome. Whats that red thing behind the 67? Looks like some kind of drivers-ed-sort-of-go-kart thing.....

the 67 and the SVT cobra are both my buddies sisters cars believe it or not. he has a 80, she has a 67. She sold the cobra last year and someone crashed it the following week. they have so many cars at their house it is rediculous. Her husband is a ford fan, but we will soon change that with the 67. He owns like 5 mustangs (65-93).
