Update I: Digging up the past
Update II: "What? This car is still around?" Video updates!
Hi all, my names Matt and this is a continuation of an older thread about my 1995 Camaro Z28 project. The old thread was just too buried, too old and too cluttered for me to bring back and hadn't been updated since June, so i'm making a second part which will hopefully be more organized. Where to start? Short story: I bought my first car with purely my own money last year, a crashed 6 speed manual pony car from the 90's. Well last you all heard, the car was sitting with discolored fenders and i droned on about my 70's 2nd gen and gave up on the project. What since then?
Well, the car sat for a few months because i lacked money and motivation to do anything, mostly looking something like this:
Once in a blue moon i would take the car out for a spin on nice south florida days. Its funny the looks you get with a tri-colored open headers v8 camaro
But lately i just had to do something with the car, so i got some sandpaper and a HVLP paint gun and went to work! The car is currently in the middle of a backyard paint job, and i'm doing the best i can considering i don't know the first thing about bodywork or painting. But at least its all one color (except for the bondo and primer marks)! The front half has its first 2 paint coats on and i'm still doing bodywork on the back.
As well as doing my best to keep the engine clean and maintained.
Ill take this chance to leave a bit of a cliffhanger for the next update, when ill show you what i've been up to under the hood in the last 8 months...
