Re: New Paint Job! What do you think?

I like it. Personally I would have went with a cowl hood rather than have the air cleaner sticking through the hood tho. Also, I think the braided wire over the hoses cheapens the look under the hood. Just my opinions, the paint looks really nice! What are the headlights from?

Re: New Paint Job! What do you think?

What are those front lights. They looks like they are from a cavalier or something. I have been looking for a way to replace the old bulbs with something in a lens/bulb setup but that is the first I've seen

Re: New Paint Job! What do you think?

the headlights are out of a 91 corsica, there is not much to modify, It is an easy install with full adjustment, the only concern I have is at night the lights dont project as if they would on the corsica considering they mount right at the front of the nose and on the camaro they are inset in the nose, I am going to try a brighter bulb later, when I have some time I will put up an article on how to replace the lights, its pretty easy and you can see that it actually flows with the hood and nose.

Re: New Paint Job! What do you think?

Looks great, as far as someone saying the braided hoses "cheapen the look" under the hood, they are nuts.

I totally understand the look your going for...same look used on thousands of mini-trucks, hot rods, and muscle cars. Open up a Hot Rod magazine, if it isn't stock...this is what you'll see.

Good Job

Re: New Paint Job! What do you think?

I like it! I dig flames. I like the headlights too, but thye look like they could use some polishing next to the new paint.
Sorry, i hate those rims. really look cheap compared to the nice paint job.
I like the exposed induction, goes well with the flames and cowl hoods are not my favorite.

I have no idea what they cost, but to me they look cheap.
Im not a fan of chrome rims. I dont understand why you would put chrome rims on cars that have no other chrome on it. Just feels like you went down to Pep Boys and bought the cheapest rims.
I really like the factory rims for third gens. The bare auminum w/ color backround or pinstripes just works well with these cars.
They arent Novas after all.

I think that you should pick a color and pin stripe the outline of the flames but thats just me.

The stars look good, they do how ever fit older 60s to early 70s cars better, but they look good, the factory rims suck, unless you find a mint I-Roc with nice i-roc, or the honey comb GTA wheels, they suck.

real braided hoses look good, I just don't like the cheap autozone slip overs.

Re: New Paint Job! What do you think?

I am not a big flame person either but I do like the Classic Hot Rod flame look.
So I am all for the above.
Its a great paint job and done well.
The car looks very clean.

I am liking the head lights tho, are they Cav's?
or Covers?

and the engine bay looks nice and clean- Hell of alot better then mine at the moment.

So I give it 4 out of 5*

theyre not chrome, theyre polished aluminum. theyre drag racing wheels.
15X10 wheels are $250 a piece. 15X8 is $220 a piece. if this is "cheap" then you must be bill gates child.

Re: New Paint Job! What do you think?

Great front end, the door flames do look a little strange. It appears in some spots that the silver metallic or flake seems to have a wall/edge that sits higher than other points. (Some one stated a pinstripe around the flames, in which I think would make it so much better).

Overall your car is amazing looking, definitely LOVE that front end paint job portion.

I circled what I think appears to be a small wall where the masking tape may have been placed? I know this because I have done this before with masking things off then removing the masking and the paint is just a bit higher (due to it filling up to the thickness of the tape and sort of rolling over it).
