No pix of it in the car yet? Comeon man? Dont keep us waiting Dont make me *****...pix...pix.....pix..........PIX>PIX>PIX< kidding I wouldnt do that to your post.

 

they sould pay for a new bumper cover, if they dont make them, i f you get a used one the hairline crakes in the paint that is on the used cover will bleed through the new orange paint, and fixing it is out of the question. dont skimp on parts, no aftermarket (ie. keystone), only GM or GM authorized. the hood might be reparable, but if you can get a new one as the hairline cracks will also "bleed" through just like on the urathane bumper cover. and make sure that when they bled the paint, tha they get all of the averspray off, and that there are no hazy lines where they blended it, ask them were they blended and look at it in both sunshine, and under the flourecent lights, as well as in the dark, as between the 2 lights and shadows you will see any flaws in the work. dont do bondo either, it only lasts for 5-8 years then bubbles off. how do i know all of this, as some of you may or may not know, i work at a body shop. those are the tricks that i have learned while working here. good luck

nope, it'd be this color. his car is too bright for me.

 

Man, don't let Allstate f*ck with you tell them to get their asses in gear and pay for that crap!

Allstate SUCKS anyone with them should switch. That particular company doesn't like to pay even when it's obviousit was their client's fault and the client ADMITS to it being his/her fault! :nono: *Silver is not very happy with Allstate*

 

They'v been great to me so far, when I had $1500 worth of chistmas presents stolen out of my locked car, with no damage to the car, they didnt even question it, just sent me a check for the value of everything I said was in it. Remebered something a few days later, got another check. They didnt even come out to look at the car to see if there was any overlooked slim jim evidence or damage.

 

the hood BETTER be fixable, GT Auto has a 6-7 week back-up on their orders, 4-5 weeks before they even take new orders

Im hoping to have this puppy back in 2 weeks.

 

i know a guy that had a nice corvette, some deer came out and made him wreck it!

deers need road maners

glad everything is working out for you.. hang in their.

 

An insurance company is there to make money, not to give it out so of course they are going to be hesitant..........

Anyway make sure not to skimp on parts, get a new one since it will show through on your new paint job......

 

Hey FLYNLOW92rs, where you at in Florida? Anywhere near Port Charlotte?

 

Well finally after who knows how many posts.

Heres the pics of the engine, it wasnt even on the road long enough for me to clean it up. Still looks good.

 

Dude, not to rag on you, cause you have one nice azz car, but that engine bay looks horrible. course having a computer doesn't help with the wire mess.

 

Let's say it's clogged a bit !

 

ZZKKER: Has your shop found a way to strip the paint from the front GFX or bumper cover? I am finding it very difficult to remove.

 

yo brian, why dont you have the ram air box?

 

The throttle body put onto the LT1 intake is 2" closer to the front of the car, so it no longer fit. Its a P.O.S anyway. Its the suncoast version. I wish GT Auto had theirs (its the same but re-designed) when I bought mine. I'd gladdly patronize them before suncoast.

 

Fort Lauderdale.....

86FyrBird you next project should be that engine bay...........

May i suggest painting it black cause that green doesn't look all that good.....

 

everyone says my engine bay looks good, but i think it looks cluttered. Too bad i sold that lt1 intake last night though..

 

Allstate is being GRATE, giving me $2400, putting ALL NEW parts on, should be back on the road in a week or two.

 

I don't think its such a bad thing

 

Well, if you go with the GT Auto air box, i'll take that intake off of your hands! Could you send me some info on it please. You should be glad your car is not in worse shape though. I have seen a lot worse from deer! And yes, the engine bay could use a good cleaning, and maybe some color matching paint too. Overall, nice ride! Good luck

 

hehe yeah I know

 

i'm sorry to hear about this happening 86........ i'd been like rolling on the ground crying and then would go and beat the **** out of the dear........ it would be like ufc in the woods!!!!!



you do it and your........ lol j/k!!!!! like 86 said go for it!!!!!!

it's not that bright!!! lol!!!!


just do me a favor..... don't put cobra's on too!! lol!!

 

Actually badgta, I'm considering the Ram Air I right now. Alot of people seem to think that the "nostrils" on the Ram Air II don't flow with the car well enough.

So here's a pic request. Got any pictures of the car from the side, that accurately shows the lines of the top of the hood and the side of the car? What about some measurements of the hood itself (such as height of lifted section and such).

The price is close enough on these two hoods (and they're both functional) that I'm up for just about either one.

 

I personally think that the Ram Air I doesnt flow at all with our cars. The Ram Air I is to blunt and out of place. The Ram Air II is bigger, but it is sleek and flowing I think. ...The nostril lines match up with the lines of the raised area between the headlights on the bumper on the 85-90 style T/A, I think the hood could have came factory the way it looks.

 

this is the best side shot i have........ damn i need a new camera!

 

86, could you give me info on your intake please? It is set up for SD right? thanks

 

do you mean the actuall intake, or the "Cold Air Intake"

the intake is the LT1 from www.lt1intake.com

and the other is custom made from 3" mandrel bent exhaust piping and a cone filter on the end. It is MAF, that is what the black thing in the cold air intake it. Its not quite "cold air" yet cause I need a head shield around the area that the filter is.

 

yo brian is your car emissions legal still?

 

I'm not sure. Havent gotten it inspected yet. I know it wont pass the visual inspection cause it doesnt have the EGR, gotta find a way around that. But I dont see why it wouldnt pass the actuall test. Everything is still there and working.

 

what intake do you recomend? im either lookin at the edelbrock tpi setup or the holley stealth ram. im dont want the lt1, too much work and no egr.

 

to much work? how, its easy as h*ll, otherwise I'd say the stealthram, but I dont think the stealth ram has EGR either.

 

Oh you kept the MAF, i thought you had changed it over to SD. Sorry! I would need mine to fit the MAF also. Any info on how to make one for my car? It would be a great help since i am looking at using the stock intake for now! Thanks a lot for any help. Also, how is the progress on the car repairs? Anything form the insurance company as for when it will get done? Good luck with that-Bryan

 

any updates on your car? did the insurance company give in to your demands?

 

oh yeah, its back on the road again, its been for like 2 weeks. Insurance adjuster came out, looked at the car, was totally impressed with it, and gave $2400 to fix it. Had it back in a week or so.

 

cool, any pics? did you put a new hood and nose cone on?

thanks
anthony

 

Well, thats nice you got some money from the insurance company. I love your car. Except for the bumper in that condition.

 

woo hoo , i got 41500 on that drag racing game. it sucks that you can only have the one car.

thanks
anthony

 

lol have you beat the vette with no modifications? Thats the hardest part.

For people who don't know what I'm talking about, check my sig

 

are you talkin in life or in a game

I raced a mid 60's vette from like a 15mph roll to like maybe 40-50, just a little flex of the muscles and I beat him. Blew my motor two days later, but I did it.

 

I mean the game.

 

tried it but failed. i beat it many times after i tuned my car up. i found that shifting from 1st to 5th worked really well.

thanks
anthony
