update....

The update is going great. For the most part the car is ready for the street again. Had to do some paint work on one side to fix a few chips. Worked hard this past week getting a good seal on the car. Wanted to fix all leak spots before the new carpet was installed. Carpet is in and most of the interior is back in. Fenders and hood are back on. Installed the LoudMouth exhaust from slp and got the slp airlid and strut tower brace. Currently running the SS wheels from our 02 SS until the HRE wheels come in. Car is currently out of inspection and tags are out too. Probably get them renewed this weekend. Here's a few more pics...

How "bolt-in" is the SLP loudmouth in a 3rd gen.? They still only make 'em for 4th gens, right?

You amaze me. Is that what you do for a living? You get it all done so quickly, it can't just be a hobby or side project.

WOW

Look like a LOT of time/$ invested. All I can say is WOW. Wish I had the time and resources to do something even half of what that project is! It looks awesome by the way!!

Wanna do one similarly for me?

That really is a prefect example of how to take everything good from a 4th Gen and incorporate a 3rd gen body style.......

I just wanna see how this thing turns out.....:hail: :hail:

so they don't get scratched up while working on the car. They were put back on last Saturday. Now all that's left is the front bumper and getting inspection and front end alignment.

I'll have to get Tim to explain the door panel swap. Maybe this weekend I can get him to stop long enough to explain it all.

MetalliCamaroRS.... yes, my husband runs the family business.
Lane's Hi-Tech Collision Services. He works on his car mostly on the side. After hours and weekends....
