    Look at the rear foot wells, if you have doubled up thin gauge sheet metal then I hope you got a great deal. Not trying to be downer but that guy was nothing but trouble. What did you do with the old hood?

    Haha that's why I was asking the questions I was asking. The only difference was Bob's car had more motor work done to it than Connor's car has listed.

      The dude I got this car from (brad) was from montrose, he was very straight forward with me about quite a few of the issues, the problems I found, Im not sure that he knew about, he wasnt shady by anymeans, but seemed a little uneducated as far as what he had, and really really jittery, almost like he diddnt quite know what he was doing, It may have been that he was nervous he is 5'7 maybe 120 lbs, and my friend who went with me is 6'2 220 and im 6' 250... So he may have just been intimidated, im not sure. But he answered all of my questions, and it was a VERY good deal. I started with a 1998 jeep grand cherokee that was acquired for $400, did nothing to it, it was a shit vehicle. traded it for a 1997 cadillac seville, I had to have the caddy towed to my house ($50), andI couldnt afford the insurance (was worse than camaro), and I traded that car for the camaro. so essentially I got the camaro for $450, all in all, I would say I practically stole the car for what I got it for. The first picture I posted of it in a profile view was taken in Brad's driveway if it helps to identify. Either way, the car is quite strong motor wise, I knew I had tranny trouble when I got it (clutch) so I wasnt too concerned. Right now, all in, almost fixed(just need to get it done), im in it, $1350. I feel for my age and situation being my first F-body (which has helped me learn TONS about working on cars) I would say I doing pretty good. If anybody knows, what motor work did bob have, the dyno sheet I got with the car said 375hp at the wheels, 390fpt, which seems high for what is in it that I know of.

      I still have the hood (Lt1/93-96 ss style), and whole old front clip (Ls1/97-2002 style), plus a spare set of taillight housings (Lt1), and headlight housings(Ls1). Pm me if you are interested in them, all of them are OBO. Hood is pending sale ATM but the guy that wants it, isnt sure he can afford it, he is getting back to me today.

      EDIT: Found bob's old account I think, if you guys are talking about 9302z28ss, then NO, I did not get my car from him, im sure he still has it. his car had a lot more paint under the hood, and a few things done a bit different than my car, plus my cars body is in better shape in a few spots (rear wheelwells) so have no fear, my car wasnt originally owned by him.

      Current Rides:
      Daily Driver: 1993 Camaro v6, LT1/T56 Swap, full SLP Suspension, Bahnhof Stage 3 Clutch, 4:10 Posi, Flowmaster Exhaust, SS wheels, 2002 front clip, SS spoiler,minor cam, aluminum heads with more to come.

      Project: 1989 Corvette tuneport 350 automatic, aftermarket suspension and exhaust: planning LS1/4l60e swap in coming year or so, and some other misc stuff such as 4-point harnesses, posi, new paint, and some other potential goodies. Mostly still on chalk board

      Logic: building a ridiculous daily driver, then having a fairly plain performance car
