Brief History of the car since Ive owned it:

This is my '92 Camaro RS. I purchased this car in April of 98, after owning a Saturn SL1. The Saturn was my first new car that I have ever owned. It was a decent car until it kept having problems electronically, and then it finally caught fire. That's when I ran across this car.

I bought the car bone stock, in fact it only had 2 options on it, 1.) Air Conditioning, and 2.) A radio. (which wasn't origional). Being a '92 though, meant it was a 25th Anniversary model, which meant absolutely nothing other than a neat dash plaque that said 25th Anniversary. I paid around 4000.00 for the car.

I've been working on this car ever since, it's been a major learning experience and labor of love. I've learned everything I know about suspension, Transmissions, rear ends, motors *swap & internals* from this car. I even learned bodywork and welding on this car. It is by no means perfect, but it's my baby, and we have a love hate relationship. Sometimes I'll go months without even working on it, and others I can't seem to get enough of her.

The best thing about this car is that it's not just a car it's a member of the family. This is the car that I courted my now wife in. My grandparents helped me buy this car when my Saturn blew up, so it has sentimental value there too. Now, that I'm married, my wife told me that the only way it would ever be gotten rid of is if the Hand of God came down and took it.. That in itself is saying a lot. So you can pretty much guess, we love the car.

Please PLEASE leave me comments on the car. It is always great to get feedback on what I've done to her, as I would love to know what you all think about it. Now, aside from the brief history above its time to get to the meat of the subject, the car, the photos, and the mods.
