New Pics of "Project Ruby"!! (NEW PAINT)

Hey fellas, sorry I havent posted any pics since the new paint, but I havent had the opportunity since I dont own a digital camera. But anywho, here goes:

Rubys New Paint!!!


Be sure to check out page 3, it has some nice pics of my buddy Sean's '91 camaro "SS" and mine together. The second page was my old ride (I actually sold it to Sean, so now he has the pleasure of cruising in an 11 second street machine), so just ignore it.

I'm pleased with the paint, it turned out pretty nice. Definately wont win any car shows, but it's definately a street worthy paint job. Let me know what you think!!! Thanks.

Joe.

Man, thats awesome! I'm still having a dilemma on whether to get the 17 inch ws6 wheels or the ronal firehawk wheels. I was leaning towards the hawks until seeing your pics..now I don't know what I want.

Thanks guys!!

Mitch DoGG, I'd suggest going with the Ronal Firehawks only because you dont need the adapters to make them fit and they look every bit as badass as the WS6's, just my .02. I wish I'd have went with the Ronal's. Keep the comments coming!

Wow, that looks really bad ***. Those rims look perfect on that car. Great stance.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!! It really makes all the time and $$$$ that went into the car worth it when other people appreciate it as much as I do.

Kandied: I love the CR1's, especially after all the suspension work, they definately do their job and keep you snug in the seat and there's absolutely no sliding around. And they're pretty comfortable too, I drove the car to Lousville KY (about a 3hr drive) and had no complaints whatsoever.

logikal6785: I'll try to get some better interior shots with the CR1's, but since I dont have a digital camera of my own, it make take a while.

Mitch DoGG: I know, I hate that I'm getting my butt kicked in the poll over on camaroZ28.com, but you have to admit that is one tough looking 'maro too. I could use a little firebird support over there to bump up my number of votes!!!

fast83camaro: That was actually my favorite pic too!! Thanks for bringing it over for everyone to see!

Thanks again guys for all the compliments. Keep the comments coming!

Joe.

Joe when you want to get some pics of the seats let me know I will put them up for you.

Guy's I have to take some credit for how the car is looking I put alot of time into it too It is a hard pick between the two.. I think if I had chrome "SS" rims It wouldn't be a match. Good Luck Joe..

Here is a link to Z28.COM POLL

Happy voteing...

You just had to throw another pic of your ride on here, didnt you!! J/K!! I love that camera angle, looks tough.

I swear, I'm going to have to recruit some firebird fans to go vote on that "stupid poll" (help a brother out fellas!!, head over and boost up my vote count so I can shut him up!!) Just playin' with ya Sean!! Let me know when you get that plug wire thing figured out! Later.

Joe.

I just thought I'd knock the dust off this thread and send it to the top one more time!! I read the post about favorite bird of 2004, and thought that I'd let some of the members who havent seen my car check it out since there's actually a pic of it in this thread. What do you think???!!
