My first Camaro/New Member

Good morning fellow third gen enthusiasts! Name's Matt, new member and new 3rd Gen owner. Just picked up a 92 RS with original 305 V8 automatic. I've always loved the 3rd Gen and this one was a local find on craigslist and looked primed for my first project car. Someone tried to dress the engine up a little and at one point had a stereo system but I've ripped all that out and going to start fresh. Body is nice and straight, only a small spec of rust on one fender but otherwise decent. Engine is strong and had a Flowmaster so sounds decent. I've already gone parts crazy and ordered new t-tops, new console, new dash pad, and also spent the high dollar on the new dakota digital analog gauge package. I'm going to do some kind of black/red combo on the interior. Just getting started but looking forward to building her up!

Welcome aboard!

Looks like a nice ride. An Arctic White '91 RS was my first new car. Wish I had kept it.

my lexans are mint and beautiful, not a scratch on them. but i also suspect they are the reason why my passenger side leaks so bad.

Re: My first Camaro/New Member

Hi there,
Nice car! May I suggest the heritage skunk stripes, in red? I think that would be a nice complement to a white car with red interior. Really ties it all together. Also, I personally like the headlight pockets in black. It gives the car a more finished look, and less of a "dunked in white paint" look.
