Hey, I'm new here... I've been reading on this board for a while now with a pretty nasty project in the works, and I figured I'd introduce myself... I'm John. I live in Mahopac, NY. I'm currently the owner of a 1992 Camaro RS that's coming along pretty nicely so far. The car itself is by no means a gem, but I think that what it has under it's hood and throughout more than makes up for the dents, dings, scratches, steel wheels (which I think look awesome), etc... I bought the car as a project in pieces and disarray from a guy who didn't have the patience for the car that I currently do. I've learned alot from the project and I continue to learn each and every day that I tweak and assemble this bad boy. I feel that's half the thrill of it, the chase of the race if that makes sense... Anyway, I've got a mod list of everything I can remember that's done to the car over the years I've had it.... Tell me what you guys think! I've got a few pics in my profile of the car as well.

I figured I'd throw up a video clip of it running and so you can see what I think is the coolest looking wheels on a Third Gen. Don't mind the mess under the hood, it's all getting cleaned up
