The only problem I see with the Camaro is the top is up but I sure would enjoy driving it.

Thanks guys!!

Alan, I missed it this year too (wife had to work & oldest son was in a baseball tournament ) we were there last year with the Chevelle and Camaro.

For 2013 we are going to both Car Craft Magazine Street Machine Nationals
Du Quion, IL - June 28-30, 2013 and O'Reilly Auto Parts Street Machine Nationals Springfield, MO - Sept. 28-29, 2013

I'm trying to get the first car I bought new (10 Nov 1987) ready for the Springfield Street Machine Nationals. If it's road worthy we will leave the Chevelle at home and bring our 87 Monte Carlo SS pro street and the Camaro. It's a project that I started in 1996. I have started on it many times, get discouraged then I take it back to my parents house where it just sets in thier garge. I'm going to try to stay on it this time.

They are not the best pics, I had the camera in the wrong setting







I told the painter I want something totally wild, I would have to say it is. We are going to drive it like this for a few shows and then go back to the original color white.

If you leave the paint like that, you should be easy to spot in a crowd!

I hope to see you around next year.

I'm going back white but I was thinking of ghosting the factory graphics.

It should look a alot like it did when I brought it home from the chasis shop.
