First Car - 1991 Camaro RS

Hello everyone,

I have actually been on thirdgen.org for a little while now, I bought my camaro back in April before I left for spring break (literally bought it, drove it home, then left for Myrtle Beach). Durring these past few months after school I have been working pretty rigorously on getting the bodywork done. Here are some specs on my camaro:

Model: RS
Year: 1991
Engine: 3.1L
Transmission: 700r4 (Automatic)
Modifications: None
Exhaust: Flowmaster Muffler (Installed by Previous Owner)
Rear End: Stock

As you can see, I have a pretty basic camaro. I live up in Michigan and we are infamous for having rusted out cars. Well, mine is an exception. There is NO rust anywhere on the body, and only some minor spots underneath. As I said before I did all of the body work myself.

I wet sanded every spot of the camaro with 400 grit. There was a big dent in the hood, along with a peeling clear coat. Luckily my father is very handy with cars (we are building a 1970 Camaro RS/z28) and he filled it. He also painted the car in our garage. Unfortunately he borrowed our neighbors gun, and it failed in multiple spots. The gun was complete crap, and there are many imperfections. The car will be resprayed this winter using OUR gun.

Please leave your comments, ideas, and feedback about my car. I will happily answer any questions you may have, and also thanks for viewing guys!

Welcome to TGO. Wish my first car was that cool. When you need help (and you will with a 23 Y/O car) these are the guys to come to.

Thank you. And yeah, the car is 7 years older than me so there is bound to be hidden problems I have yet to find!

Re: First Car - 1991 Camaro RS

Nice car. I had the identical 1st car 16yrs ago. Mine was burgundy and a huge lemon, so I wish you better luck! I had wheel hop I could never fix, but was very respectable with a few mods back then.
