  • Hi, new f-body owner..

    Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.. I recently purchased a 1980 Camaro Z28 in rough shape, and I'll be somewhat restoring it within the next few months, and hopefully driving it a little bit this summer. My name is Dean, I'm in Central CT, and I'm 18 ...

    The car was black but the body work has already begun, so its multi-colored.. damn It's at the shop already, and I've been working on it with my body-guy/mechanic, and I'll try to post up some pics if anyone's interested. It is a real Z28, with the hood, lip/fender well kit, spoiler, etc.. and I love it already.

    We're building a 350 motor for it, and all we've modified in there so far is a little better cam/lifter combo. I'm not sure what kind is in there now, my mechanic did most of that without me around.. oh well :P It has a Turbo 400 tranny with a shift kit, a B&M shifter in the car (its an auto), flowmaster mufflers, headers, and some autometer gauges mounted in the nice NEW dashboard.. its in great shape. I'm really exciting about the car, and hope it turns out nice.. I think I want to paint it blue Then I might juice it a little bit, down the road It's a big learning experience for me, as most of you could probably tell already. I'll be on the board learning as much as possible
