2 years in the making.... it arrives. 98% Finished Camaro

Some of guys may remember what my poor car looked like the day it left Mustangs Unlimited back in September of 06.

The car , driven by a "friend" of mine hit a curb @ 85 + MPH racing a Mustang.

Sad isn't it?
From suspension was destroyed, front clip was messed up. Radiator was busted, hole in the oil pan, radiator housing was bent. Minor frame damage in the front. All 4 wheels + tires destroyed, cracked hood etc.


I lost all motivation in the car and the project, so it sat. And sat, and sat.

After buying my GTO... I decided I wanted to get back in the game and took the car down for sale, and decided to not part it out.

And here is the car as it went through the process of being redone.
The color I chose was VIPER RED, and JET BLACK for the hoodscoop and accents.

Yes I know the pictures suck, all taken with my ATT Tilt phone, I will get better pictures of the color later as this camera really sucked for capturing it.

And the car as it sits today.

It is still being buffed, and wet sanded and cleaned up.

I've got some black halo headlights, and black turn signals going on it as soon as they arrive. I've got a ton of other minor touches and problems to work out.

Car looks awesome man! I have a 98 that I just had repainted. It is black with a VIPER RED hockey stripe. Nice choice. Good luck

how much did that paint job cost you?? did you have to pay someone to put the front and rear bumper fascias on or did you do it yourself?

Good looking car. I worked in bodyshops so i know all the work that goes into it. Nice job.

Good to see you decided to bring it back to life instead of scrapping it. Great job on the car and the paint looks great.

Always great to see a car go back on the road rather that simply sold for parts and junked.

It's sure to be fun when it's 100% done!

Glad you got back into the game, car looks excellent.

what kind of frame damage was there? Im going through the same thing, excluding the high speed curb kit. The 01 i have T-boned a minivan. Im still taking the engine bay apart but Im replacing it with a new clip...

if you dont mind, what did the frame repair run ya?

Looks great man, kinda reminds me of my old car.. lol. A set of black wheels would finish it off nicely ;)
