    Default SSlowBoat 2.0

    A badgering thought in the back of my head almost daily finally came to the front and I bit the bullet, again, for a big ole boat.

    The Camaro had too much rust. I had planned to make that car a road race toy, but every bolt I touched broke and the shock towers/front subframe had rust issues in a bad way. I had the floors repaired in the back footwell, but when it was on the lift we found too many issues. I had barely driven it this year (literally 60 miles) and was tired of it.

    So, the plan was to part the Camaro and then find a car. Before that could be completed a 96 dcm car popped up on Facebook, and a few friends saw it/said it was worth it. The guy was planning an lsx swap but life got in the way. it's not in the greatest shape paint/interior wise, but its rust free, all the trim is there, has baer track front brakes like my bird had (the 90's baers, pbr 2 piston calipers and bigger rotors), hotchkis sways and lowering springs.

    I had the Camaro parts sold before I even laid a wrench on it. that's in a scrap yard already. Made a deal with the owner of the impala and picked it up last Friday, towed it home on a uhaul trailer with my little 2.7l EcoBoost f150, and have the motor and trans ready to go in tomorrow from the camaro. Already have a clear image t56 crossmember and a f2b kit on the way for the t56 swap in the impala.

    More pics to come

    What @popo8 did with my old one made the bug worse. I miss that car a lot.
