Here
the Camaro begins its transformation from the tired looking beast it was when we
acquired it. The original rusty 1974 fenders and bumper were replaced with those
from a 1980 resulting in a substantial weight savings.
This
is a shot of both the Camaro and the 1980 Monza as it too undergoes
modifications to make it "race ready."
