BUILD JFish's 98 Camaro SS

General Information

Been thinking about doing this for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger. It's nothing special or as bad ass as most of you guys but trying to be part of the community and share. And as of now I don't have any other real plans for it, but I do have most of the pictures I saved from when I was doing stuff.
So the story begins...
I had gotten divorced and wanted a fun car again, I knew what I wanted and had been on the lookout, low and behold I found this gem on LS1Tech for sale in Michigan. with my budget I wanted something decent but didn't want to break the bank, pictures online looked super nice and as long as it was as nice as it was in the pictures it was a done deal. Had my buddy drive me up to Michigan with an envelope full of cash. And the car was way beyond what I ever anticipated getting for myself, and super low miles (31,600 at the time of sale), so I picked it up and drove it home.

Few pictures of the listing, and one when I stopped at McDonalds on the way back home, then finally in the garage.

Latest updates

After a much awaited process ( started in September as you can see by the sticker renewal) I finally got my new Expanded Antique plates! Had to get a new plate number but I like it better. I originally liked my old plates but no one ever got it except maybe car people. This is much cleaner and easier to comprehend 😂.
Now being an antique it is very fragile and I need to drive very cautiously and carefully as to not ruin it or damage any of these delicate pieces.

Parts have arrived, decided to go with a Monster single disc. I am not putting out that much power and don’t really track it that much so no need to go crazy with multi discs. Got all the shit with it, remote speed bleeder, and their billet release bearing support, and new bolts. They shipped it with the clutch bolted to the flywheel so I might fuck with that and take it off later to check out the flywheel and clutch. Now to wait until spring to have it installed. @daturbosix I’ll be reaching out closer to spring to get this back in the road.

Finally got around to taking off the pressure plate to inspect and make sure the clutch is actually in there lol. Obviously I could see the inner ring of it through the center but they assembled it all together and the bolts were pretty tight. But it would have to come apart anyway for install so might as well see what I paid for.
Time for the scrap heap!
