My first personal car project.
 

Well I will start off by saying, hello my name is Steve. Back in March I bought my first car, a 1994 Camaro Z28. Like most kids that grew up around cars, I wanted a nice looking and fast car as my first car. So last October I started working at Stop n Shop after school 5 days a week. I kept saving up my money until this bad larry pooped up on craigslist...

Guy delivered it to my house at night but heres some pictures the next morning:

Car was changed from Bright Red to Victory Red and I personally think it makes a big difference.

Upcoming plans are: lower, rims, CME single tip, and maybe some other things.

But yeah I started this thread on LS1Tech back in May and got a decent response from it so I figured I'd share with you guys (except LSX-Nation because i know he's seen this thread haha)

But anyways, thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to meeting some of you guys

Looks really good did you do the work you're self. All need now is some wheels and it will make car look even better.

Yeah it was done by me in my grandfathers shop. saving up for wheels and tires at the moment

Nice work man, car looks great! Some wheels and a drop and that thing will be sick!!!

Excellent job. The car looks terrific!!!!

Car looks nice. I like the shaved Berger panel.

Thanks guys

Very nice! It's come a long way.

Hey did this car come from the franklin area? There was one around in that color with tha hood. Haven't seen in in over a year maybe 2.

Nice work! I like those Z/28 emblems where did you get those?
