Today was my parts day. My brother, dad and I, armed with tools, drove out to Umatilla, FL to get some parts off of a 1997 Camaro. When we arrived the place was kind of “Hilly Billy-ish.”
They had a monster truck. Their laundry machines were outside and it wasn’t a very nice house. We were led around to the back yard to the car. We stood by the car for a minute with the owner while he was trying to sell me the whole car. I told the guy that I wasn’t interested in buying the whole car so we started taking parts of of his car.
The first thing I did was get my brother and dad working on taking out some of the smaller parts that I needed. I then jumped under the car and started removing the transmission. I got everything disconnected but the transmission wouldn’t budge. The owner eventually found out that we had missed a bolt on top of the bell housing.
It took us a long time but eventually we got it off and the transmission out. I ended up getting everything that I wanted except for the dashboard because the one on that car was destroyed. I ended up paying $550 for a transmission, a two piece drive shaft, the hydraulic trunk lift, the drivers mirror, the center console, a K&N air filter, the vizors, a sweet flow master muffler and a set of 30th university wheels and tires. Today was a fun day!
