Project round two: 1992 Chevy Camaro

[Darren]

Joel I can investigate more when I get home, these wheels are as new as I have ever seen them minus maybe the really nice set Brian had at one point. I wonder if he did buy them and then flip them, he literally had 8 sets of wheels in his garage. But he kept saying they were not his... so it threw me off. Either way I didnt care since I was getting a good deal IMO too. $300 is a steal, I am surprised you sold yours for that and where was I!?!?

Here are the only two pictures I Have of the wheels.

Take a pic of the tires im curious if they are the same. Possible that guy snagged them to quick flip.

If i remember right one of the bowtie centers has a scratch on it

BFG comp tas and they were still on the wheels. I sold them 10 years ago for $300 to buy my SS hood. the guy never put them on a car. I had class that night, wasnt going to skip over a set of wheels i didnt need when we were in the middle of a huge blizzard. oh well.

mhm interesting, I was just trying to figure out if these where the same wheels, but I doubt it because the guy I bought them for would not take $300 for them... But they do have BFG G force tires on them.

different set of wheels, and if you could have gotten some mint ones for $300 then you should have left whatever you were doing to get them. I paid more for these, but yeah they were in the ghetto... But yes his name was Mike in fact. What tires where on the wheels when you sold them?

[JoeliusZ28]

Hmm the mike i was thinking of is closer to ann arbor and he isnt mexican. I was going to buy them for $300 on a saturday but someone else rushed in and snagged them. But mine were mint with the same red bowtie caps. I was going to use them for autocross wheels.

[Darren]

I believe his name was Mike, a mexican guy down in Mexican town of Detroit... I was quite sure they were stolen wheels when I left there, he said they were his buddies wheels... But they are MINT! I'll sell them to ya

[JoeliusZ28]

Did you buy those ZR1s from a guy named Mike? If so those are my old wheels i was trying to buy them back but he wouldnt wait for me!

Just keep breaking it down into small goals and check them off one by one.

Yeah that is the plan, figure if I can tackle at least one thing every couple of days (cant work on it everyday) then it should be done. I have a goal, dont really want to post it (because you all will hold me accountable and I will probably miss it). The only two BIG items that I can think off (unless I am missing something) is getting the motor dialed in (it does run, or think it still does, lol) and paint/body work. Which is going to suck and I keep putting that off...

Looking good bud

Wish I could help more.

You ever around town at all anymore? If you are stop by and see the progress. I will be very disappointed if this car isnt drivable this year but Jon is really helping me out recently to try to get it done. Jon has been busting his butt as much as I have recently. Hoping its on all 4's here soon, and then I can get the motor running and then be reintroduced to a big pile of sand paper again...

Today a few more things off the checklist...

Both the fenders REMOVED.....
rear brakes DONE
rear brake lines DONE
torque arm bolted up
trans is filled
throttle (as seen above) DONE


ugh, almost? nope....

looks so much cleaner though then stock

[Darren]

The throttle cable, stock cable like I wanted to use wouldn't work. Had to buy universal and make one.
