Hi Guys,

Introduced my brothers Ranch Wagon project a while back but thought I'd introduce my own project that I'm close to finishing.

Purchased this 1991 Camaro Z-28 way back in 1992 with only 20k, did a few mods at a time, and then went crazy ! I've been doing all the new mods over the last 8+ years and as you can see I'm almost nearing completion. Looking forward to finally driving it again after being off the road all those years !

Exterior Modifications:
Audi silver base with Ford GT Tungsten grey accent "SS" stripes, 20"x10",
19"x9.5" aftermarket Corvette Z06 wheels painted in grey accent color, BFG 285/30/20, 255/35/19 tires, Fiberglass 3.5" Cowl hood, shaved original emblems, shaved door handles with remote entry, third brake light LED mounted in rear spoiler, Billet fuel door, converted to Caprice composite headlights

Interior Modifications:
Recaro seats, rear seats and door panels covered in matching Recaro cloth, custom headliner with black ultra suede, 6-point roll cage, complete Autometer instrumentation with custom panel and gauge pods, 4th gen Camaro console, B&M Ripper shifter, Momo steering wheel, 4-point harnesses, 3rd gen Firebird radio pod, real carbon fiber accents throughout.

385 Stroker shortblock, TFS aluminum heads, Procharger 15lb supercharger with 12 rib belt system with custom front mount 3-core intercooler, full Comp Cams roller valvetrain with custom cam, custom built fuel injection manifold, full length Hooker headers, custom 3" y-pipe to 4" single system with Flowmaster muffler, Accel DFI, Holley Pro ignition, MSD wires, March pulley system, aluminum radiator, Paxton billet fuel pump, real carbon fiber accents, plus way too many other mods to list !

Suspension/Chassis:
Custom tubular control and panhard bars, custom built tubular adjustable torque arm with integrated driveshaft loops, lowering springs and poly bushings all around, Koni Yellow struts and shocks, slight mini tub, custom built double subframe connectors, Baer Track series brakes all around

Drivetrain:
T-56 6-speed with McLeod clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, Tilton hydraulic clutch pedal setup, chrome moly driveshaft, Ford 9" rear with 3.55 posi, 31 spline Strange axles

Electronics:
Alpine head unit, Alpine amps, Alpine 6x9, Rockford Fosgate subs, and front speakers, custom built fiberglass sub enclosure.

That looks great. Nice to see the third gens coming back to life. I at first did not like that body style That was back in the early 80s I got mine in 92 from a salvage yard the car was perfect only had a knocking 305 still dove it that summer and then fell in love the the third gens. Nice car Steve
