Re: New to boards-86 Z28

Has your car been repainted, or is that what it came with?
Keep the two tone! Have fun and welcome

Re: New to boards-86 Z28

It looks like ur low on engine coolant, if u just got the car, idk for sure if u did. You might want to have oil change and check all your fluids on the car. And is your hood loose or something? It doesnt look right. And how much are you spending for paint job? I need to get a paint job on my camaro 85 z28 soon as well.

It was low on coolant, I recently did have an oil change the pictures are from a couple weeks ago, but thanks for the look. The hood is steel cowl with a fiberglass cap, someone stole the fiberglass cap off my car and I found it but it was in rough shape, until I finish it off with fiberglass resin it doesn't sit properly. With the paint, fortunately I know someone in the business.. All I'm paying for is the paint and other material. I just picked up a set of 17s but don't have tires yet. I'm trying to figure out which size to go with. 235/45 front and 275/45 rear is what I'm leaning towards

Re: New to boards-86 Z28

Sure no promblem, and sorry about that someone stole the cap. Be sure to update what you have done to your car, cause what your doing could what i might need to do as well =P (I too just got a z28 85 camaro for $2500, it came with new engine and transmission and scratch up body)
