-ditch heat system and piping (25+- lbs gone)
-finish door panels
-ditch door bars (12+ lbs gone)
-look further into frame area (XX lbs gone)
-ditch center console (5+ lbs gone)

Money mods (these are maybe's):
-Get true front runner tires (15+ lbs gone)
-electric water pump (5+ lbs gone through removal of idler pulley and bracket)
-Chome moly LCA's (15+ lbs)

Yep LG Harness bar, it goes across where the back seats would be. Im going to use it to mount a camera mostly. HOPEFULLY I can try a few auto-X events and put a harness into use with some Sparco or Carbou seats.

[Teds89IROC]

First off, get it to start lol. Its in the same spot in the garage as it was 2 or 3 weeks ago when it was towed. Once the semester is over I'd like to start to do some work on it. Its either the ignition module or the fuel pump. Then after I get it to start, over the winter I'd like to...

Stuff I can do with little or no money:

-buff/polish my wheels
-fix surface rust and repaint under the car/rear/suspension parts
-fix rust in the engine bay on the wheel wells
-finish removing the A/C
-setup a new belt routing (I'll only be running the Alt., crank, PS, and water pump)

Stuff I will have within a few weeks that I can do:

-install my SFC's
-install LCA's
-install LCA relocation brackets

Stuff to buy:

-New rear tires..looking at the BFG G-Force T/A DR's
-parts from a friend (MSD ignition box, pulleys, and maybe, maybe roller rockers and a hypertech chip)

[Batman]

I'm hoping by spring to get a FRIGGIN DAY OFF so I can put mu clutch in (T/A is still dead from the Nats) then I am going to start working on my 5.0 LS1 turbo engine, hopefully have it together for a swap next winter in N/.A form with the turbo coming maybe in the springtime. Apart from that I am going to start plugging away at the 84, swapping over a bunch of parts from the formula (Nose, fenders, hood, hatch and rear bumper) and then just getting the suspension and chassis squared away so I can start doing weatherstripping to eliminate the leaks in the roof. If money isn't too tight I may put a mild crate engine it (possibly GM's new 290HP Cheapo special).

i think maybe we need to put a wager up on who gets their camaro on the road legally first ie sticker & all hehe

[BonzoHansen]

-ditch door bars (12+ lbs gone)
You don't mean the supports in the door across the skin, do you? They kind of come in handy if you get in an accident.

You really need one of these: http://altura.speedera.net/ccimg.catalogcity.com/210000/214800/214862/products/thumb8695760.jpg

Not that I'm wagering anything with you again....but I kinda have the easy route when it comes to getting a sticker :)

Yes, he does mean those. The 'bird is not his DD, and every ounce that can come out, should be out :)

[bitchincamaro]

my car is going on a diet. so far cut out 20 lbs from each door. i havent finished cutting up my front bumper but am counting on probaby another 20lbs. but for buying items here's the list:
axles, posi unit or a spool (cant make my mind up, probably a spool)
x-pipe
ultra flows
cal tracs
thats all i can think of now.

I've got it fairly easy as well, as long as i get those blinkers working hehe

[bitchincamaro]

i've "heard" of places that dont even need to see the vehicle. just a valid insurance and registration card. if you have a extra few dollars its way easier to do it that way anyway. drop the info off and pick up what you need the next day. i wouldnt encourage such illegal behavior though. i am a law obiding citzen and proud of it. :angel:

Wow...you guys have to pay for this type of private inspection? That must suck....

[BigAls87Z28]

I assume that this "place" you talk of Justin wouldnt want an influx of fbodies to show up at it?

[bad64chevelle]

-The for sale sign mod.

[BigAls87Z28]

Oh snap!! Sale Sign Mod!! Sorry to hear that...

[Savage_Messiah]

[Tru2Chevy]

No, Dad just wants my car out of the driveway, so at this point he'll prolly put a sticker on it as soon as it has working blinkers and a muffler.

- Justin

[Brando56894]

ill give ya $250! final offer!
