Latest Progress of Jekyll & Hyde (not 56k friendly)
For those that have seen the old name 'Maroon-IROC-Z', things have changed. The car is no longer maroon and many things have changed on the car. Here is a quick update of the progress.
These pictures were taken in 2004 and 2005, which looked like this up until the end of last year.
----------
End of 2005. Escalade took out my door and my rear quarter panel. Total damage was $1,800. I took the money and matched it with mine. Here is the damage.

Taken this past Sunday by a friend of mine. This is how the car sits right now, with the exterior almost complete I've started replacing the full interior. It's going from tan to black.
a little off topic but was that by any chance a tan leather interior?
love the two tone btw

looks good man you did the same two tone i did on mine, i used house of kolors for the orange did you? its kinda funny you went with the same layout with the two tone with the black going under the light the only thing that i did that was differnt was i took the orange up over the back wheel wells alittle
dang that looks nice man. but i would say either get some blackouts or nightshade the grids. to me i like the nightshades look alot better b/c it still looks like a taillight with all the squares i dont like the smooth look of the covers.
Yeah, I have it, but when they painted the nose they didn't leave me the holes, so I have to drill them back out. For the rockers and the rear bumper, I've decided to get some polished ones made from another member on here, just have to wait another month.

That was the same thing I did when my friend sent the pictures to me. If you want the large copies of any of the pics, I have the originals, just let me know which one.

Haha. Thanks for all the great replies guys, I've been straining to wait for the rims and some good pics before I post it up. Been a secret for a long time.
I'm stoked to get working on the interior and the 'secret' engine.
damn that looks awesome!
what orange paint did you use, im looking to repaint the Z, and i want to get some ideas of what different orange paints people have used.

I love the way you two-toned it. Thats how I wanna get mine(just not those colors). Most people when they two-tone these cars they run the colors up and over the rear spoiler.........I just love how you ran it just ontop of the spolier and didn't run it over.
Could you get a picture of the rear spoiler and trunk section?
The only things I would change would be(IMO)
1.)Stock chevy sign grille and paint the chevy sign orange.
2.)Get some black door handles and key locks.
Other then that I say PERFECTOOO

Black them out maybe, but no chrome. The last thing that car needs is chrome.
I'd also keep the interior tan. I think a tan interior looks fantastic with an orange exterior. If you wanted to mix things up a little, just find a better shade of tan. The tan color that Chevy used was a bit bland, but there are a lot of tan hues that would compliment that orange very nicely.
Thanks again everyone. As for the interior, the 80's tan doesn't complement the orange very much at all. The orange has about 8 different shades throughout the day and would hardly ever match the interior, so black is really the most viable option.

The orange is Lamborghini Orange from the 2004 Murcielago, it's a 3-stage pearl from PPG. It's not too expensive, but the painters will hate it since it's three layers of paint and pearl, if they mess it, they sand it all the way back down and have to paint it again.
The paint name is: Arancio Atlas Mic 2CT
The paint code is: *0058

The reason we did the dark color on top is we wanted to make it appear long and lower than it really is. It worked out really well.

I will this weekend. My camera is broken, so I'll need to borrow my sisters or something when I go of there for Father's Day.
Looks awesome man. Only things I would change are, door handles and keyholes would be black, and i would nightshade the taillights just a little bit. and i love the idea about the bowtie grille but with the orange symbol.

Looks awesome, good job. I was toying with two tones too but wimped out and went solid. Love the orange, I had a 91 eagle talon I did that same color. Little hint for any one else who may want it, he's right, PPG makes it in a tri-coat, but, RM's diamont line does it with a single basecoat followed by clear, they just add a TON of pearl into the base to give it the same effect and it's WAAAYYY easier to paint, and to repair should something ever happen. Just my .02 and experience, love the wheels too btw
looks great man! i personnaly like the body color door handles and locks, something im going to do soon with my GTA. ive been looking at alot of different oranges, and i think itll come down to the lamborghini orange, 04 gto orange, and sunset mettalic orange.

Those are the same oranges that I was down to, but I wanted something that is a little more rare. Everyone when sunset for a while and I think people are getting tired of seeing it unless it's on a really nice car. The GTO orange is really nice, but doesn't have enough change for me. If you get it, you should add some pearl and some flop. Post pics when you get it done.
Very very nice. Nice job with that 2 tone, it looks fantastic. You need some chrome exhaust tips to go with those wheels though.
Thanks man. I'll be looking for some more when the new engine goes in. I used to not be a fan of exhaust tips, but I think some polished or chrome will work out really well on this car.
SWEEEEEEET!!!
your car just made my (short) list of camaros i would want to own. that looks so hot. i have only seen a few camaros Two toned like that. most of them go along the lower body line in the middle of the door. i also like how you only went to the top of the spoiler.
IMO leave the doorhandles the way they are. chrome=tack in most cases. i should know, one of my doorhandles is chrome (prior owner, i'm on it). i also feel that a black interior will go better with the orange then a tan interior. if the car were grey on black THEN tan interior would look good.
again GREAT looking camaro!

Wow, man, I'm very honored.
I’m really happy with way the car came out and I’m glad that it’s received such a great review.

Wow, that car is sweet. I always thought an orange 3rd gen would look cool, but I wasn't sure.... your car sure as hell puts that idea to rest, it looks awesome!
I like the car so much, is there any chance I can use it as my backround? I was hoping to get the last pic in full resolution if possible. Thanks.

yeah, i like the GTO orange alot, but the sunset is starting to fall to the back of the list. i test drove a fourth gen TA that was sunset, and my friend thought it was red . i bet i could make it nice, but i really like the lambo orange and the GTO orange. now i just need to find an orange lambo to see it in person!

It looked great before, but now it's just plain badass 
excellent choice in paint scheme
