sorry, I just don't like 91-92 Camaros with the wing and ground effects...
and I do not see why people like that ss hood... this one's not even functional.
and I don't care if it would have a 540 rat motor.

maybe u never seen one in person
what do you own btw, jus curious.
the 91-92s have to be one of the nicest looking thirdgens.
I think your car will look pretty sweet when its finished. I give you congrats on customising the interior, im not a fan of the diamond plate gauges but the guages look good. I dont think it looks ***** at all and i think the SS hoods are Sexy
Over all Good job looks very nice. Id like to see some pics when its finished.

well judging from the link in his sig, i think its safe to assume that he owns a 92 Z, I own an 88 iroc vert and have to agree with borla when he said the 91-92 Z's are one of hte nicest thirdgen (right up there next to 88 iroc's hehehe)

Just to let you know that hood is the Big Block hood, not an SS hood. And it is functional ... as a cowl hood.

Just to throw in my .02 don't know what its worth. But Yeah the spoilers alittle rediculus even if its stock i always thought they were but other than that the cars nice that guages are alittle far fetched i mean i would think during driving you couldn't even see the speedo. But i like the car damn nice setup hes got going Hell id take it and GFX arnt nessicarly **** it does reduce under car air turblence that would screw with you on the highway *hints* the funtionality of lowering a car

Overall the car looks good, but I hate the diamond plate too. r*ce or whatever you want to call it, I just call it cheesy as hell.
What's it got for a motor? That high rise intake coupled with stock exhaust manifolds is a seriously **** poor combination.

Not sure on all the specs, but I know its a 350, agressive cam, heads arent HUGE but they do the job very well. turbo 350 trans, 3.73's
with the diamond plate, all the original crap there is removed and it is cut perfect to fit with all the gauges mounted in it, when he gets the autometer tach that is getting taking from where it is and put into the diamond plate, it actually looks badass in person.

BTW, nice car....I love the motor (with the exception of the yellow wire conduit, and stock manifolds). Also think the speedometer could be mounted a little higher on that guage plate. The Weld pro-stars look bad *** also....

the car will never be done i am always gona find something to change or add but thanks for ur reply. i have the headers for it but i need to change the cross member. what color should my loom be for the wires.
I like it, but the diamond interior is a little bit much. As far as this r!ce thing, well I think that there are a few good looking asian cars out there, so taking a few ideas from them to make a awsome looking machine is cool. Besides I wonder what you call not r!ce, perhaps a camaro w/ no ground F/X 12ft. slicks 70's rims and a confiderate flag paint job w/ budwiser cans in the back??? Anywho nice car.

Looks sweet! I dont care if people think the wing looks **** or not but I love it. I guess that means .....Im a *****? Hood looks killer. My suggestion is get the GFX from 91/92 and cut the front out of the hood scoop and make a grill portion for it. Just my thought. Either way shes yours and dont let anybody tell you what you can or cant do with it. Good work and keep us updated!!!
