paid invoices and packages

last weekend we cleaned out the car, vacuumed and dug out the decades of crud that was inside of the car. we removed the windshield and broke it into pieces ( i have the tiny cut on my thumb that would not stop bleeding to prove it. )
so we placed a couple large orders to get things under way. the packages started coming. i came home to 7 boxes in the foyer. and most of them aren't very light. as with anything there is a budget and some numbers to be held responsible to... so i guess i should do a total of whats paid out so far in this project :
$2,000- body & paint
$2,000-interior
$105.95-JVC car stereo (walmart was $10 cheaper than crutchfield, free delivery to store)
$103.53- battery (auto zone)
$69.07 - u-haul trailer rental (watch those bastards like a hawk if you rent from them. they snuck $ on)
$49.79- shop vac (home depot)
$600.00- rims & tires (brand new2012 camaro heritage steel wheels & bf goodrich all weather tires)
$53 - POR 15 blackcote (ebay)
$373- front disc brake conversion with 2 inch drop spindles .. (ebay inlcuded shipping of $54)
$279-control arms (ebay free shipping)
$1335.49 Summit Racing ($16 shipping included; front struts/ rear struts ,lowering springs,2 qtr panel patches,bushings,starter,2 rocker panels )

grand total so far : $6,968.83 the cap is 10k.
i think this can be done. i have nothing to base that solid opinion on other than sheer optimism and faith in Chris

i had to borrow El Nundo's truck to drive to Havre De Grace for these wheels. $600! i felt like i was stealing them! 

they told me the car maybe drove 5 miles  on these tires. 

my first shipment of parts.

woot ! springs! 

i hope these fit on the chevelle. that way i can go back to the forums and advise the others! pay it forward! i only find threads asking is camaro wheels will fit on a chevelle.. no one actually trying it. until now.

thats it for now. there's a thunderstorm and im afraid to lose power.. in all of these orders , i still haven't bought a lap top battery.
