My 1989 Camaro IROC-Z project car

My project car is a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z.  This car was my daily driver from 2001-2006 and now unfortunately sits unused.  I have wanted a Camaro for a very long time and finally got one in 2001 when I was 17, my junior year of high school.  Since then I have done an enormous amount of work on the car and have spent a huge amount of time working on this car.  I plan to keep this car forever; when I am older and have the means to due so I plan to restore and modify it for use as a weekend cruiser.
