Thought I'd throw up a little intro post. I'm Greg, from Wisconsin. I picked up a '90 camaro a couple months ago, its currently in about as many pieces as it can be in my garage (a hollow shell with doors attached right now!), putting it together to be a weekend toy/track day car. I've been road racing motorcycles for the past couple years, last year burned me out a little bit chasing points and only going to 4 different tracks all season. This year I'm just doing a couple of those races for fun and hopefully some track days in the car too just for some variety.

I want to have the car done before the end of june, so that should give me time to get to a couple events this year at least! Maybe I'll see some of you at events in the midwest.

Here's the only picture I've taken of the car so far from a couple weeks ago. Pardon the crappy cell phone picture quality..

I was going to update this thread with some new pics that I took yesterday. Spent all weekend sanding and cleaning the engine bay and the underside of the car to get it ready for paint, took some nice pictures in the daylight with my cell phone.. and I put the phone in my pants pocket (I rarely keep it in a pocket) and found it bouncing around the wash machine this morning (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Anyways.. I'm hoping to paint the engine bay and underside this coming weekend. I also picked up a complete TPI setup with the wiring harness off a '91 trans am. Not exactly the highest performing option out there, but still better than the old TBI.
