New 1980 Camaro
I just got an 80 Camaro this morning!
http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/k...wife/Firebird/
There's only 3 pics in there of the Camaro and the rest is my Firebird that i'm selling as parts or the whole car. I'm thinking that I might make the Camaro a bumblebee car.

The big issues with the car is no motor or trans. I got that covered with a 400 small block i got over the summer and i can find a TH 400 for it anywhere. The motor still has to be rebuilt but i'm not sure which direction to go with it. I have a title for this car unlike the firebird so i might want to keep it streetable instead of a radical drag car. The body is solid except for a little cancer in the usual spots. It also came with traction bars, subframe connectors and a B&M Pro stick.
Hey, what do you mean "no bumblebee scheme!" I liked the yellow and black look before transformers.

If you like the yellow and black, that's cool - I just wouldn't go with any transformer badges.

Badges? I don't want no stinking badges! I meant the color scheme of bumblebee. I'm not going to replicate the movie car. I was thinking either yellow with black stripes or maybe blue with white stripes.

Scott will tell you that it will need to have the same fuel injection to make the "real" Bumblebee, lol

All i meant was the paint colors of Bumblebee, that's it. No badges, no movie car replica or anything like that. So, to avoid any further confusion i decided to go blue with white racing stripes.
