Junk what's that?

I would say the 69 camaro is junk.The 91 grand am,91 sonoma,and 95 grand am are junk also,86 camaro.All these except the 69 will end up gone by summer hopefully.

The 67 is my current project.The s-10 I am getting for 150 bucks!4wd extended cab.5 speed.I am swapping the 4.3 out of my 91 into it as well as several other things like the bed etc etc.


The jeep has about 1200 dollars worth of new parts in boxes waiting to be reassembled.

My poor poor R.

One day I was riding along and all of a sudden it start shaking like mad.I figured the counter balancer went out.But it seems fine to me.One of my buddies thinks the crank is bad.


It has been apart for over a year now.Whenever you make 6.45 and hour and have alot of expensive projects things take time.

Well like I said our camaro is pretty much junk.We bought it a couple years ago froma kid in college.We had to drive it 150 miles home on a 307 with only 3 cylinders working.THe cam lobes had went flat.It was crazy you could pull spark plug wires off and it wouldn't make a difference.

We brought it home and I pulled the motor and tranny out.Then I gutted the interior and then my dad took the front clip and subframe off.He put new floor pans in it.That is all the farther he got before he passed away.I have no desire to finish it other than it was my dad's.There is an old house trailer that we own next to our house and it is full of car parts.We have a whole room of brand new camaro parts.We have new qauters,inner and outer fender wells,everything to finish the back end.I still need a front clip and I want to change it over to power disk.


Here is a pic the way it looks now on the rotissery.

Don't worry I will be getting rid of alot of it.I am having second thoughts about the s-10.I can swap everything over.But the trans.I guess I should do it.The grand am's and my 86 camaro are gone by the summer.The jeep,67,69.Are my toys.The s-10 is going to be my daily driver maybe.


I might hold off.I wanna order some truck parts this week.

I know what your saying.I found a big block and should be getting it shortly.Hehe.He wanted a 454 and a 4 speed.And that is what I am going to do.
