Hi, my name is Rocky. I am a 19 year old college student and work part time at a local Ford dealership. I have a '71 Camaro that i bought and fixed with my own money. I bought the car when I was 13, and fixed it all myself on an extremely tight budget. as a result, it still rides on a stock suspension, rubber bushings, and 15" wheels. Now that I have a little more money to throw around (and more driving experience), I want this thing to outrun, out-handle, stop quicker, and look sharper than most newer cars. When I came to this site, I knew I was in the right place. I look forward to learning alot from you guys.

Welcome to the site Rocky. Just make sure you get things done in the right order. Get the chassis set up before going to the motor. It's all about safety.

And no, I'm not gonna start with any Rocky jokes, or any Where's Bullwinkle comments either.... Oops. Just did, huh?

Here is a picture of my car, it was taken from a camera phone, so it may not be the best quality, but thats all I have for now. If you look really close, you can see my buddy's '92 Z28 in the background.
