me too love the color orange on camaros,i think its the best color for our cars,would like to repaint it inferno orange,its the color of hugger orange but has lots of silver metallic in it.i would say the paint held up really well for being 32 years old.

I'm surprised you didn't say anything about a huge cowl hood.

yeah wish i had the money for a good blower,maybe in the future,hopefully just spent the last year saving and building my dream engine,the engine cost me more than the whole restoration will,its making 635 hp,and 680 tq.but i have plans for turbo or blower in the future as i built it with only 9.5:1 compression.but i do have a 250 shot of nitrous for it if u choose to do that not until its broke in anyway.

tear down begins yahhhhhh!
well guys and gals i finally got the chance to work on my baby for a couple hours today,dang was that a job,it was rusted so badly on the front nose but i did get my complete front nose off,but sad to say my radiator core support is gonna need some work,wich is ok i wanted to beef that up anyway,and make some mounts for my intercooler in the future as my plans are to twin turbo charge it once its broke in,i also need the mounts for my twin tranny coolers its gonna be tight,also my innwer fenders are pretty bad,and my fenders will need bottom rear patch panel,so what can i excpect after 32 years and a 300 dollar car,id say i got a pretty good deal,surely didnt expect it to be rust free.but its very solid.
