      The wife got transferred . Less $ And no OT for me .
      So only small things for me to do to the car. Looks like the new 383 will have to wait. Also we are putting more in to my daughters college fund.
      Good thing the car only needs small things or up grades.

          Camaro is mainly finish-ups, i already have everything i need parts wise with the exception of the door panels - which will probably have to wait for awhile

          Trans Am projects will probably be whittled down to the decal kit as it's over 500.00

          can always dream though right?

                What I would like to do and what I'm going to do is two different things.
                I have a whole list of things, but no money = nothing.

                  Redo the exhaust system, fix some odds and ends.

                  If i even do that, right now im debating leaving the car uninsured for a year while I do some financial recovering.

                  edit: oops, didnt realize this was a 1st gen thread at first.

                        Since my summer project did not get completed - get Camaro running, that will be the winter project. Set valves, install front end of motor, install intake and carb, radiator, hoses, wiring, etc.

                          Measure the one you have. I was looking and ready to purchse a 1 1/8" sway bar kit but then found out that my car already had a 1" sway bar. I think it is worth it if you car has a small diameter one on it and you want it to handle better.

                            I would say it is 3/4 stock I think. Car is in a storage bag must wait until spring.

                              I don't want any part of that,

                              Its a 302 Z28 camaro, he has The full leather interior, all the Z/28 tags and the RS stuff to, Headlights, grill, tags you name it, and he has a 427 sitting around for it to.

                              I'm not playing around with it, the car has zero rust but, I've offered he doesn't want to work on it
