Very nice! At first I was, "man, that grill sucks" then I realized you were blacking out your plate.

Again, very nice.

There's a post on it in the Regionals board. Go to the northeast section. It's on July 11th and more than likely will be an overnighter.

marist is in NY. its were my brother goes. he plays football for them, thats why i have the shirt.

nikh23: what time is you class done at. i work until 4:30pm so i'm normally home around 5pm.

IROCZTWENTYGR8: i had the black outs for the car. when i put them on i didn't like the way they looked so i sold them.

i'll get some pics of the interior tomorrow. it is just the stock 84 interior, nothin crazy. i just had to take everything apart so that i can paint it.

Doh, I thought they looked great. It's nice regardless though. Thats a car you wouldn't mind seeing in person. You should get some driving videos of the car, it not only has looks but a 408ci engine and 3" Flowmaster. :rockon:

the engine looks completely stock. unfortunately i have to keep all the emissions crap. maybe that stuff will be coming off soon.

the paint is PPG black base coat (683 i think). the silver is a honda color. i have to look it up at work.

thanks for all the complements. i guess all the hard work payed off.

Looks really good man....Everything looks VERY sharp. Just make sure you take care of that clear coat cuz the clear on black paint scratches VERY easily. Again, great overall work.
P.S. I thought I was the only one with clear side markers!!! lol

Great Job

One of the nicer ealry 3rd gens. I like the pipes (look just like mine) and the 2" cowl hood. Other than that it looks like a showroom stock camaro. You didn't try to make it look newer with the GFX package and stuff nice touch. Good job. Now if only I could afford a new paint job.

dude i definitely saw you today on my way to class. It was around 6:35 you were right behind me with the t-tops off, wearing a hat i think, and pulling onto 287, that was you right?

looks awesome man, didnt expect it to be less haha. those iroc wheels and the new paint and all just look sweet as hell together. good work! doesnt look like ya ever got hit heh i like the early thirdgens, especially their ground effects, but its hard to find em in good condition. but there lies hope :hail: everyone else seems to slap on the newer ground effects and stuff like that.

do you go to marist? my brother goes there, hes going to be a sophomore next year, and i always take the trip with my father and him to drop him off/pick him up almost every other weekend lol


dammit, thats what i get for not reading the complete thread haha forget it. always see a lot of camaros and firebirds in the town and around the college, but rarely ever thirdgens.
