Hey guys,
My name is Nathan from southern Indiana. I have recently and unfortunately inherited a 98 Sport gold metallic Camaro SS with a fixed roof. This was my Fathers baby, he drove it as a daily driver from the time he bought it to the time he was hospitalized for cancer and a stroke. The car is mostly stock with just eibach pro springs and a flowmaster muffler. It now has 140,000 miles on it so i felt like it was time to put her up for a while, but I loved driving it so much that i bought a 2001 Camaro Z28. This car has Long tube headers, air box, high flow "cats", stainless exhaust all the way back, weld on subframe connectors, rear lower control arms, pro 5.0 shifter, and evidently a tune. It dynoed at 338hp and 345ft/lbs at the wheels. It was a little more than i thought it was when i initially bought it... which is good! I plan on doing a FAST intake with the trickflow heads/cam package on this car. I also inherited an all original 1970 montecarlo that is in near mint condition with only 38,000 miles on the clock. This thing is just a blast to drive.
I grew up around cars working on them with my Father. I went to a vocational school for auto mechanics and auto body, then i went to WyoTech for Collision, Refinishing, Street Rod, and Chassis Fabrication. I currently work as a stamping press operator but i do body work on the side in my garage, so if anyone in the southern indiana area needs something done let me know.

The sport gold is worth extra money man so take care of it. Don't be fooled into thinking anything less than a $2k offer over anything else availible. The SOM, NBM, SGM, are by far the most sought after colors on the market so be patient, you'll get what your looking for in do time.
