flirtin, do you have more pictures of the motor ?

 

Here's some of me

 

heres one

 

lol, That pic was taken at the beginning of the 800mi trip we did with the power tour. We are planning on doing the whole tour next year Wisconsin to Florida! Just never seem to think about taking pics of the car while we are doing stuff (guess were having too much fun )

Here are some from last year http://www.cardomain.com/id/thirdgenblownz28

 

That looks like it's got six spoke iroc wheels...

 

here's another one....rainy overcast and the sun trying to peek out



later
larry

 

here's mine

 

nope, the RS has the standard 5-spoke IROCs...some of the most AWESOME looking rims on these cars IMHO. that was one thing GM definitely did right...

Another shoot with a member of the AZFBA F-body club in Phoenix, this time of Tom's RS: Sorry if this is alot of pictures :-)

 

 

I LOVE THE COLOR PATTERN ON THAT RS!!!! the pictures are awesome as well...i was gonna go with a blue on mine, but i might have to reconsider that one....


Josh

 

newer pic of my car....

What Kind of spoiler is that, I'm thinking of getting that kind of spoiler for my car. Thats the same one as CrazyHawains (sp?) right?

 

thats the stock Z28 spoiler you can get one out of a junkyard or buy one off of ebay but expect to pay about $100

 

That's the factory rear wing that comes on the Z28. You can purchase it on Ebay, or new from www.classicindustries.com

heres on in nice shape but its $178 for a little extra you can buy a new one from classic industries

 

Error 404: please tell me what color that is on that RS! i LOVE it. i think it just changed my mind about what color to paint my Z28...


Josh

 

I believe it is a "Gun metal" grey, and seabring silver stripes. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not 100% sure.

 

Thanks for the complements on the Grey and Silver RS photos Daniel (Error404) posted. I'm quite proud of the way it looks in those pictures. Daniel did a great job with the camera.

Daniel took his best guess but the actual paint colors are (and I hate to admit this...) a Honda Graphite Grey Metallic ( Valspar paint code NH91M) and Quartz Silver Metallic (Valpsar paint code NG94M). The original plan when the car was vandalized early in 03 was to use the Medium Spiral Grey Metallic from the 03 Corvette with Silver stripes but the paint code wasn't available to non GM body shops at that time so we went with this as a color combination instead.

I'm just glad my insurance company loves me enough to pay for the paint and body instead of just totalling the car when the damages came to over $7k to fix.

 

Wow that pic is amazing :hail: Thats my new background You dont have to apologize for posting lots of pics, you need to post more! All the pics are awesome. You have a nice car beater79ta

 

I'm sure Daniel will post more as he finishes up the processing on them. I need to have him print some 8x10's for me too so I can replace the good pictures hanging in the house with better ones.

Thanks for the compliments too. I may have to go to the next club photo shoot day and have him take a few more pics too now that I've finally been able to wax it after waiting forever for the paint to set.

 

that picture is also my backround on my laptop

 

Wow....popular thread and a lot of nice looking rides. Here's the best shot I have of my '85 Z.

 

wow alot of people have those rims...how much do they cost and where can i get them

 

If you're asking about the chrome IROC rims from the pics Error404 posted, I got mine through Fbodymotorsports. They're available in 16, 17, and 18 inch sizes. I went with them because I wanted something that looked somewhat stock but went with the paint color a little better and chrome seemed like the best choice.

 

I got mine at a Discout Tire in Denver. $175 ea. including the center cap, lug nuts and chrome valve stem and cap. (I added the bowtie) Summit Racing sells them also.

 

How is that kind of photo coloring achieved?

 

RAW file processing in photoshop, and a bit of work with layers. Most newer digital cameras should beable to shoot RAW files. all of the DSLR cameras can anyway.

 

error404, I'm curious, did you use a wideangle, or fish-eye lens on the camera? Also, did you you use any kind of a filter at all? The effects in the photos are very good. Well done!

 

Thanks :-)

I'm using a Sigma 12-24mm rectilinear lens(non-fisheye) for those wide angle shots. Shot close to 12mm on the 2 real wide shots, and around 20mm for the closeup. I always shoot the Sigma at f16, thats it's sharpest stop. a Canon 50mm 1.4 for the rest of the shots, most were around f6 or so I believe, to give the background just a bit of blur to make the car pop out more.

No filters on the lens, I don't use filters when I shoot digital, accept for the occasional polarizer. No polarizer in any of those shots though.

 

 

picture yourself in a boat on a river, where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.....

 

hey flirtin how about some more pictures of that engine :hail:

 

Ok ok twist my arm

 

Mine too, it bumped out the pic I posted of my car. Nice picture and car...

 

*drooling*
:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

how much money do you est. you have into that engine that is the most beautiful motor ive ever seen

 

Oh not much....[looks over shoulder to see where wife is standing ]......actually I have been working on it since 85 and it has had a couple of different configurations so it would be hard to put a accurate cost on it.

 

Do you ever take it to Gateway international to race?

 

Last time it was at the track was in 1988 at Cordova

 

Cool pic . . .

 

Line 'em up!!

 

That's still the coolest thirdgen pic ever!

Awesome pics guys! I'd love to contribute, but my poor baby is sitting under a custom-fit car cover waiting for a low-compression turbo motor.

 

a mustangs worst nightmare

 

I got one of those! From Tucson last year with the TGO S/W Region!

 

And yes, that is the color. I LOVE that color, it looks sweet no matter what direction you look at it from...

 

here's a couple pics of my dads 86IROC and my 91 RS....enjoy!

 

I forgot how to post more than 1 picture....oh well
