Here's a list of what I've done.
I took it all apart, podwer coated the sub-frame,global west upper & lower a-arms,Q1a coil overs,wilwood disc brakes front and back,powder coated ford 9" narrowed 3 inches,detroit speed mini-tub,hot rods to hell truck arm rear suspension,roll bar,small block 383,eagle crank & rods,srp pistons,isky roller cam,bowtie heads,edelbrock super victor,demon carb,msd ignition,new wiring, and some other stuff.
The motor went 11:60's in the 1/4 mile in a 70 nova with slicks.
I just have to do the interior,put the trim & weather stripping on, and get my wheels, and should be good to go!
I love camaros too. I've had an 86 IROC, 71 RS, 97 Z28, 68 RS, and my 67 that I kept.
Hey, how do you like the new Camaro?

Sweet!
I couldn't tell from the thumbnail in your sig if it was already painted or if it was primered. Black looks good on these cars. I'm actually thinking about going with hotrod black on mine.
Let me know what you think about the H2H truckarms. I was thinking about those too, until DSE came out with their Q-Link. I heard the truckarms have a tendancy to rattle a bit....but they do make the Camaro handle like a slot car and will help you hook too.

That's gonna be a nice handling ride!
You'll like the front end mods you've done. Did the same on my 68. Are you going to go with the newer spindles that raise the upper ball joint by 2". These are supposed to do wonders for the handling also. Also get yourself some solid tie rod sleeves if you havent already...and there are some good aftermarket tie rod ends out there that all but eliminate the nasty bumpsteer there Camaros are known for. I'm still stock on my tie rod ends and spindles.

The new 2010 Camaro...well...lets just say I wish they would have stayed more retro in the look (like Ford did with the Stang and Dodge has done with the Challenger) and made it look more like some of the early 3D renderings that made their rounds on the web. The way it is, it looks like they blended a 69 front with a vette back and threw in some mustang from the side. It's OK...but I'm not a huge fan. I saw it up close at the SEMA show a few months back.
