Bring on the VOTES!!!

Nominees:

Microkid

she is currently a work in progress. 36,000 original miles, I picked it up with around 23,000. Has zero rust, rebuilt 700R4, no engine at the moment. Future plans include a Blueprint Engines 355 crate engine, Moser 12 bolt drop in rear, subframe connectors and a full tubular k-member and control arms, as well as all the other needed parts to run 450 fuel injected ponies. Plans are to run low 12's and still get about 14mpg and a decent highway cruise

my car is a 1986 camaro z28. Motors all stock which isn't very good considering it's a 305. Gotta fix that. but yeah i had to covert all my grey interior to black which id a very hard painstaking process. I have cragar ss rims 17 in x 7 in., 5 x 4.75 in in the rear and just regular size in the front. i got my paintjob done by a tattoo artist here in town for a steal (300 bucks!). The paintjob under the flames however costed me a little bit more, it was about 4000 with a little bit of body work. it is black with gold flakes.





c4maro

1987 Z28 Camaro w/ T-Tops, 5.0L v8, auto, Edelbrock intake, headers, high performance ignition, Carter 4 barrel carb, 3 Orion amps, 4 10" MTX subs, pioneer 3 pre-out deck - Bluetooth. 2 mid-rang Kenwood speakers.

wow! there all great lookers. I'm almost speechless on what one to pick?


Microkid
: you got the cleanest factory ride. I love that color.

Saint Ebony:
you got the lovely black look I'm after for my black omen.

Danthemanz28;
you got the wildest flamer I ever seen on a camaro.

c4maro & Jr. Mechanic
we need better photos of your cars

now we have 5 cars to pick from! I guess I'm going to have to wait a few days to make up my mind.
hopefully more photo should arise to help the problem.

My car is a 1983 Z28 and started life as a Cross Fire Injection car. I started the build when I was 14 years old (now almost 17) with a 350 4 bolt main that I found behind the shop:

Spent a good month on the engine, and eventually she looked like this:



Packed it up for the winter and by the next summer I was ready to buy a car. After a year of hunting, I Found
a 1983 Z28 with a tired 305 for $900 bucks:

After removing the 305, installing all new brakes and suspension components, and having the transmission built, I was ready to drop the 350 in and fire her up:

Factory options: Leather, G80 3.23 LSD disc brake rear end, cruise, Cross Fire Injection, T Tops, and basically every option that was available.

Thanks for the votes guys, and good luck to everyone else!
