You mean like approximately $1900 for the cost of parts for the interior. what is the point in not be accurate or are you using prices you get from sponsorship or something that you know no one else will get those prices. Post the invoice with actual part numbers and prices. hopefully this won't get deleted again.

I bought a brand new Camaro in 1986. 23 years old and the road was mine. Love those days!!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I had an 88 IROC back in the day that was Pro Tour before that existed. I made it a Vortech SC 383 with T-56 6-SPEED transplanted in place of the 700R4. Pro Chassis 6-point cage with sub-frame connectors all welded in (Chrome Molly) Custom made Boyd's with 315s rear , IN THE FENDERS , 295s up front. Suspension Techniques kit for everything from sway bars to springs , shocks. Schroth harness for driver. The DFI ECU that replaced the factory ECU was programmed by me. I converted it from mass-flow to speed density. This was all done in 1993 !. The engine had vette ported aluminum heads and a Lingenfelter Box-Ram intake. Battery relocated to right rear. It had 3.23s and was not set up to drag but still ran low 11s and I could smoke the tires at 60 MPH. It handled like it was on rails and beat Vipers of the day. It sounded like a dragon coming down road with Banks exhaust , gutted cat , headers.

You sold it?

[@ACEMIDNIGHT102]

When you remove carpet, always treat the rust in the floorboards--even naval jelly or bedliner in a can. Test all wires for any short issues, tape 'em in place, then lay down some HVAC sound deadener from Home Despot--cheaper'n dynomat. Pre fit carpet is great, and shag from the local fabric store can be groovy-cheap, too.

The only hot teacher I had in school was my 4th grade teacher, she was fresh out of college. By the time I hit high school, she was the gifted high school student teacher and the years weren’t very kind.... My English teacher was a middle aged overweight hag with a cocaine problem name Ms Hayt and she lived up to her name. She had a 60% failure rate in her class. I knew of straight A students that barely passed her class. A student who graduated a year before me married one of the history teachers the summer he graduated. Nothing to see here folks.....

You could have hit that rust with a wire wheel and put some etching primer on it if nothing else you had the whole damn interior out!

[@Brock_Landers]

One thing that y'all didn't take into account with the V6 is that the 3.6 can easily be transformed into a beast of a V6 and is plenty capable of running down a factory SS with only bolt on mods. (Well, maybe not running it down, but running with it) I have always been a big fan of making the underdog run with the big boys.

[@houseofno]

By the time you're done "hopping up" ($$) that 335 hp V6 to 455 hp, why not just put a V8 in it in the first place? LS engines are literally all over the place, but you want to dump money into a 3.6L V6?

[@rangerdanger9485]

I would spend that 3500 on suspension and more Belfast parts in the rear end in transmission

[@SophiaAphrodite]

Carpet $380/ dash pad $688/ Headliner $250/ Sun-visors, $170/ speaker panels $40/ seats $320/ mounting brackets-$30= $1900 ( assuming they did not actually buy new panels but not mention it). I will also say it again. NO ONE is putting a used block with $3000 in upgrades without a rebuild. NO ONE. So that should be included in the price to build this car. At that point a 325 hp crate motor would be cheaper.

[@evo8rob]

Great job fellers!! What a big difference! Quick question, did you put the seats in wrong? Driver & Passenger switched? Looks like the lever switch for the back passengers to pull the seat forward is on the inside? Keep up the good content.

[@houseofno]

You people couldn't fix all the rust on that floor pan before just laying that nice new carpet on that grimy rusty floorpan? Also, before you wave that "buy American" flag too hard, regarding the Norwood plant closing, let's not forget all those American jobs GM shipped off to Canada in 1993 for nine years of production, before unceremoniously pulling the plug on the F-body cars for eight years before bringing back the Camaro. GM is also a company that's significantly invested in shipping off manufacturing jobs to such lovely non-American locales as Mexico and China. Don't forget about GM's recent closure of that AMERICAN manufacturing plant in Ohio - not to mention all those American jobs that got the boot.
