I recently purchased a 1/8 scale 1981 trans am kit off of Evilbay and I will be using it for a bases for my Camaro build. It will be a replica of my very first car! I had a lot of good times with it. That included Girls , racing, and cruising 
I still have the original motor on an engine stand in my garage. and it only has 68,000 miles on it. In 1975 my Mom bought the car brand new from Van Chevrolet for a total of $5500 When I turned 16 in 1984 I bought it from her for only $200 My parents wanted me too pay something for it? So I would appreciate it more. I never wrecked it but I did race it a lot and eventually blew the transmission up! So it sat for a number of years until I sold it for $300 in 2005 But I did keep the motor . Unfortunately I don't have any original photo's of it, they have been lost ? But I did find a few on line that looked exactly like mine did. Hence Now the build can begin ! Stay tuned for it is going too take a lot of work too pull this off? follow along for it will be a very long ride step by step...
P.S I'll never have the money too buy another one, but I can build one in scale and relive all the good memories !
