This is a 1980 Camaro Z28 that I have owned for approx 9 years now.  The car was purchased as a solid stock driver that was brought to Michigan from California.  The original colors were Arctic White paint w/ Blue stripes and a Dark Blue interior.

My main objectives when I purchased this vehicle were to get
- a solid body
-T - tops
Everything else could and would be changed.

The first major undertaking was too eliminate the undepowered 165 HP stock 305 and replace it with a GM 385 Fastburncrate motor w/ aluminum heads. At the same time the stock 350 trans was sent out to be rebuilt and beefed up to accomoodate the new motor. Also added was a Griffin aluminum radiator. All of which I swapped out myself.

Over the next few years to come several chrome/aluminum mods (March serpentine pulleys, Edelbrock intake etc.)were added to the engine as well as a complete polyurethane suspension upgrade .

Then several years and thousands of saved dollars later came the body and paint restoration. It was so nice to work on a solid bodied ,rust free car. The new paint was to be 2007 Corvette Silver. A good majority of the disassembly and reassembly was done by myself and a good friend of mine sprayed the car at his paint shop.

Finally, 9 weeks later the paint was complete and the new Budnik ice wheels were ordered
17x8 - 4.5 b.s. on front w/ 245 45 17 BFG
17x9.5- 5.5 b.s. on rear w 255 50 17 BFG

After this I developed a custom Black leather interior w/ new door panels and a custom console.

The seats are out of a 2008 Pontiac G6 and the foam was modified and custom leather covers were cut and sewn. All of the interior work was also done by myself as this is what I do for a living
