I need your guys help with my new 91 RS...PICS!

Not sure if anyone remembers me since its been like 6 years since I sold my 89, but I bought a 91 RS Camaro yesterday. Ive had a couple 4th gen Fbodys but still miss my old 89.

Here is some pictures of my old Camaro. Swapped a carbed 355/Th350 into this car as well as a full repaint and 4th gen seats.



Engine...solid lifter cam, ported 305 heads, 750 Holly carb


Seats from a 4th gen


Me and my buddy Daves (HrdRockA4305) Camaros


My Camaro with the car club I started (Central Illinois FBodys)


And now here is the new project...91 RS Camaro. I am going to need your guys help with this one if you guys have parts.

The car has the 3.1/5 speed, but has 171,000 miles on it. Did a tune up the other day on it, so hoping that the engine lasts until I am done with the bodywork.

Previous owner smacked a light pole with the drivers front, so I need to find a front bumper cover, ground effects, drivers fender, may go with an aftermarket hood, thinking an SS. Anyone have these parts laying around??? The shell itself is solid though, so just need to strip the flaking paint off, prep it and that should be good.

After the front end is fixed and the body is primed, I want to paint the car white with hugger orange stripes. Not sure yet what I want to do with the wheels? Ideas? Probably just whatever deal I stumble onto.

Interior is a mess too, but for $300 Im not complaining. I need a dash, headliner, carpet. I have rear charcoal cloth seats out of my 94 that I may use if I can find matching fronts. I would like to do a red interior like my old Camaro if I can find the parts.

As far as the drivetrain goes, I want something reliable as this will be my daily driver after/while I restore it. Im not ruling out a nice 350, but I do have my 94 for the "race car" I even wouldnt mind finding a low mile 3.1 and putting it in the car.

Anyways, here are the pics I promised, I know she's a mess, but Im going to save her from a doomed death as the previous owner was going to use it for Cash for Clunkers. Like I said, anyone who has parts, ideas, or suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them. Trying to do this while working a crappy job, so money is tight.

The Bad Side first...
