I figured I would post some information about me before I beg you guys for knowledge. My name is Jamie, and I am Marten's son (he is building a 1953 Ford F-100). My uncle is Lightspeed_Mike, so both of those people have been driving forces in me growing up around cars and eventually me buying my very own hotrod. I have a daily driver as well, so my hotrod will be my fun car/summer car.
A little about me: I an a building science consulting engineer, so pretty much what I do is I design building components to make a building perform better. So if you need a new roof, or insulation help I'm pretty good at dealing with all that. I also do freelance design work, so I can design that dream kitchen for you as well!
Now for the car! I bought a 1987 Chevy Camaro Z/28. It is the LB9 305 with an automatic transmission, which is rated at 190hp and 295tq, so it should have a little more power then my Chevy Cobalt I drive on the daily. It also has the T-tops, and only a 180,000km so I can't complain too much about that. It has a little bit of rust, but not much considering it's 30 years old. It needs a little bit of work, but right now it runs, drives and stops so I can't be happier. I will post up the car in the project section for more information, but until then here are some photos!

Welcome Jamie and thanks for doing the intro,well done. Earlier this morning I noticed your profile. I thought I have seen that last name last name before. Now I can put it together. It's unfortunate you rolled your Z 28 doesn't look like any damage though TMJ
Hi and thanks for joining us.. There is a young fella on here that has just spent a lot of time and has several posts I think of his Camaro on here.. He goes by .. thatchevyguy I think.. check around a bit and you should find him..
