    New guy from Canada (Chevy owner)

     



    Hey guys, just thought i would drop by, been checking this site out for awhile now and i finally got around to making an acount lol.
    well my name is Joe, I am from Ontario, Canada. I have a thing for camaros but I love all cars lol, my dream car would ba a 70-73 Camaro split bumper but for now i have the 78-81 rubber nose camaro's.

    First off i'll tell you about the 78, It was my uncles he baught new and he passed away and i own it now, it's all original but i will need to restore it. It has the original 350 w/4 speed manual tranny and i think it's a 373 rear.

    The 79 i have is a parts car i will be using for the 78 and for the 80.

    The 80 i have is in the process of being rebuilt, has a 350 w/th400. It was originally my cousins car. before i got it he put frame connectors, rebalanced drive shaft for th400, air shocks, partial T/A interior and let it sit. anyway i own the car now and im re-rebuilding it lol.

    My 81 is newer to the family, it only has a 305 LG-4 with th/350 tranny, i traded an 84 C-10 for it, I did a bit of work to it but it's just a DD not a show car. redone some interior, painted light bezels, scoop and rad support. future plans are not determined yet, maybe a Z28 clone? but for now i just want to freshen it up bit by bit.

    Sorry for the long post lol heres some pics

    81







    80 before





    Current





    and these are the plans for it to look like once im done (sorry for the bad editing lol)
