Nice car man. Looks awesome. Did you have to get a good tune to keep the TBI when u put the 350 in? Or did you just burn a chip. I am probably doin that this winter. Keep us updated man.

Had it painted in may.
If you look at the old pictures, you will see i had to replace the front nose clip, and it was all blue, and i wasnt going to have the Ground effects painted, becuase they still look good and shiny.. so all he/the painter had got was red. so he painted it red, however, winter is comming and ive gotta make some money to get a truck, so i can park the camaro.. so next summer, the rest of the ground effects will be red.
I was only gonna get a touch up paint job.. the only thing that was wrong with the paint before was the hood, roof, and rear bumper had oxidized and the clear was peeling, so i had those area's touched up and then the paint didnt match, so he had the rest painted like 2 days after.. and what really sucked, was the part where, i told hime/painter if the whole car had to be repainted, i'd have it midnight blue with lightning or something.. but he said i only needed it to be touched up..... until the paint didnt match, so it looks like im stuck with the red for a while...
Thanks again, im glad you guys like it..
