Finally pics of the Camaro!

Well here it is.Its was an 85 sport coupe,now its a bit of a mutt.Since October 2nd ive added:
-Iroc Nose,GFX and Rear bumper
-Trenz Billet Grill
-Wings West Z28 Spoiler
-New Doors with Shaved Handles and locks
-Shaved Emblems
-Re-Upholstered Buckets,Bench and door panels

Its still gotta be painted,and ive got some more to do to it.If any of you are wondering it is bagged.Most of the pics it dumped laying belly.The upholstery work was done be Perry Cosgrove of Buckets and Benches in Victoria B.C. Canada.You can see old pics of my car in the post 'How Low Can You Go!?'Sorry for the tinyness of the pics.People with high res 17" and 19" monitors will see them fine

Really nice, it's gonna be sweet when it's all painted, and the seats are awesome.

I went to your website and I noticed you had my photoshop on there, is that the color your wanting?

Hey thanks guys,right now there isnt actually a motor in the car.Its been gutted for a 383 4 bolt Stroker.It 'should' be in for the summer.Right now only the bottom end of the motor together.That isnt quite the color im going to go with,i want a bit lighter.Im going with a shade of House of Kolors Kandy Cobalt blue.To get the exact color i want the whole car has got to be sprayed first with Silver,then the kandy laid over top.

have you thought about a gold base......the cobalt over silver makes for really sharp color....that or mix silver and gold like i did and you'll get a mild color changing effect in the right light.

question on the front bags.....could you use the stock strut placement removing the spring entirely or did you go with a bag setup in the spring location.

i was looking at a thirdgen at the shop the other day with a "stut bag", basically it was a strut that had a airbag on the very top of it.

can't wait to see the paint....take your time and do it right.

yeah, that's great! i think the trend now is more towards the strut bag; but this raises the price. if you can build a reliable setup that way then that's terrific.

be careful though as going with something that is custom can sometimes lead to trouble. i've got a 2000 issue of compact lowrider with a candy green civic called bad apple that did a similar situation and one of the bags caught on a pinch weld.

needless to say the car was later referred to as apple sauce and the two passengers were lucky to walk away. (had a roll cage that saved them)

when is the finish date?

congradulations, your one of the seemingly few people on this board that can lower the car and do alot of external modifications and do it tastefully. Excellent job, just excellent.
