So, wonder what all the OGs are up to these days

So... The ChadChop is working for you then? Do you still cry over the dinosaurs being extinct?

I do cry, but some chocolate milk always makes me feel better.

You need to post up that sexy black LT1 you had first Chad! That was the original ProjectCamaro after all!

B, please give us a little history on how Project Camaro and the Original Gangstas came into being. Us newer guys don't know the story, and it sounds like the history of PC fed into the creation of MiFBody.

ProjectCamaro.com was actually where I called "home" prior to MiFBody starting. Chad [ProjectCamaro] started the site and it was a friendly, social nationwide site for people to talk about customizing their Camaros. It was a time where anything other than an SS hood, SS spoiler, ZR1 rims or Y2k rims would be considered "rice" on other national sites like LS1Tech.com (where my hatred for that site began). The "OGs" or "Original Gangstas" were the ones that considered themselves the "original members" of ProjectCamaro.

Admittedly, when I created MiFBody I drifted away from PC.com a bit but I always considered PC.com my home away from home. I actually modeled the structure off of Chad's ProjectCamaro forum structure and the "family atmosphere" is directly from how it was at ProjectCamaro.com. Really if it wasn't for Chad, MiFBody wouldn't be here -- his site really inspired me to create a Michigan-centric FBody site.

I'm a little foggy on the latter years which Chad or someone else can describe more, but basically as Chad weened from the site to focus on his personal life, a new administrator came in. Soon thereafter the new admin obliterated the site with a shit ton of advertisements and the site just lost all of it's steam. Unfortunately after PC.com was taken down and the domain expired, some shithead in Japan bought the domain and turned it into nothing more than a front page for some Google ads... the content seems to be fake or written by someone who doesn't understand English...

That pretty much nails it. When I'm not so tired I'll explain the latter stages but those were very short lived.

Always loved your black Camaro. I always dreamed of getting my 94' to that level

I appreciate that. I'll have to start a thread with pictures of my '94 from different angles including the interior along with pictures of my '99. It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything about them.

I remember when people were trying to sell your Camaro on ebay... funny stuff.

Gosh, I havent seen that Car in years Chad. Such a pretty car.

I LIVED on PC, it was Brans posting about have a local (michigan based) site that brought me here. Hard to believe that was almost 6 YEARS ago!

I really miss PC, I remember right when I bought my car the first thing I did was go to google and type "camaro forums" and PC was right at the top, thats where it all began......

Funny, I was just talking about that with Adric... How it seems like just yesterday we were having discussions about the Camaro concept when the photos were leaked, that was back in like 2005! Can't believe its been 7 years already.

Found these digging around on the way back machine, they are about the only photos that would load correctly.

In order from newest to oldest. Thought that would bring back some memories!
