1967 Camaro Buildup.
I had a lot of mall gift cards so I decided to buy somethig kind of pointless and I ended up at radio shack. I purchased the starter kit, carbon fiber chassis upgrade, body kit packages, and springs/tie rod ends. Sadly though I have learned that our drive way nor the nearby road is for this little car. I was drifting side ways (yes they can do that) and I hit a rock and the car ended up rolling 5 times. From the pics you can see the damage was not that bad, some of the chrome was knocked off the bottom of the rear bumper and it got a ding on the roof, fender, and hood. I'm not worried about it though cause tonight I'm converting it to a 70's model SS with a 4 inch cowl. 
These things are very addicting if you have some cash laying around I suggest picking one up.

Iv always wanted one just so I could mess around with the style of it.. I also have always wanted one of those huge H2's so I could give it a custom paint job just for the fun of it lol..

I took the little Camaro over to my grandmother's place (very flat/long driveway) and low and behold I discover their are rocks every where. I ended up hitting one and taking off some of the chrome plating. I think I will just stick with the basketball court across the street for now.

First mod I decided to do was to upgrade the suspension. In the kit it comes three different size springs, new shocks, and three different size tie rod ends.
