Car: 1991 Camaro RS
Engine: 350
Transmission: Manual
New to GA
Hello all,
My name is Dennis. I just recently retired from the US Navy and got a job in the Atlanta area. I have been working on restoring a 1991 Camaro RS convertible. I have dropped a 350 in it and the engine itself is completed. I am posting this here because while i do have some mechanical skills, i do not have the expertise to really move forward. As I said, I was in the Navy for a long time and always had buddies i could go to for help when i ran into a snag or needed advise. What i am looking for now is basically a friend. I live in Paulding county near Atlanta and really need someone who is willing and able to help me out. I love this car and I will never give up on it. So please, if you are anywhere near me, let me know. Even if you don't have the skills I am looking for, it would be nice to meet someone who has the love for the third gen like I do. Thanks!

Hi Dennis! Sorry just now seeing this. I live in Douglas County and have an 89 IROC. What type of help are you needing?

Re: New to GA
BG1959... It was good meeting you the other week.
80's AL.... Are you new to Dallas, or have you been out there for a while? Did you ever get to see or race at southeastern dragstrip right past east paulding high school?
I grew up in Dallas and lived less than 2 miles from the drag strip. I remember listening to the cars every fri night as a small child and then when I got big enough, me and friends use to walk through the woods and go stand by the fence and watch the racing.
I moved from Dallas to Bremen when I was a teen, now I'm down here in Bowdon, GA (close to Carrollton).

Re: New to GA
I'm in Kennesaw close to paulding. If anyone wants to meet up there's usually a cruise in every weekend somewhere. The Wendy's at dallas hwy and barret pky has one this weekend. The town of dallas has one the 4th saturday every month. Email me at tecustomzaudio@gmail.com and we could meet up and talk camaros. I have an 85 iroc-z.

I'm over around ya'll, just a little south of downtown Woodstock. Hoping to be back on the road before summer is over. Have meant to go to that show at Wendy's for a while, but never made it.

Re: New to GA
This is probably the earliest I'm going to be on the road. But a good show, and just down in McDonough. I know a few thirdgen guys coming up from S GA, and there were a couple of other local folks there last year, but I couldn't make it.

Finishing up an LS swap. It runs, but needs tuning and a lot of tyding and finishing up stuff before a drive that long. Yes, show is not on a Monday, sorry, updated post.

Re: New to GA
Edit, I actually have liked them on FB already but I guess I was not getting updates on my page. According to their FB it is every Second Friday of the month from 6-9.
There is also a hot rodders club that meets every Tues morning @ Marietta Diner. I'm always at work and it is just hot rods it seems, but some cool cars.
