So, after 5 years of sitting around and collecting I decided to do something with it. I named it emProject Boomerangem because it just kept coming back! I the 1973 Camaro in non-running condition from a guy who was not a car guy. It went through a light restification a few years and had a rebuilt 350350 drive train. So, I it up at a great took it home and began to try and figure out why it would not run. Put in a fresh battery, got and spark. Went around back in a couple of gallons of gas, fired it right up. See, I told you he wasnt a car guy! We started by stripping the car down to the frame and media blasting the body to try and get back to 1973 only to find body rot in all the common Camaro The floor was bad from a leaking rear window and leaking heater core (which was fixed with shut off valves from the local "Big Box" hardware store). So, a full floor was in order for our RS Z28. The rear window to trunk tray and hinge support were all trashed as well. Once the Camaro's body was smoothed out, we sprayed the whole thing in epoxy Black first then red oxide to make the Fiji Blue Poly really Then, it was time to add the white stripes. While we were at it, we figured we should spray the LS engine cover to look like the hood "bled" all over it. That turned out really cool. That is where we are so far... Stay tuned as we keep working on emBoomerangem! envira-gallery id"1506"
