Outdoor pic of my car

You dont see to many 82-84 cars here with the original paint so here is mine. The only thing thats not original on the outside is the hood( its from 90 iroc 350) Last owner did that whats everybodys opinion?

P.S Its hard to notice but it has pin striping down the side

i really cant tell you anything about the clearcoat, but since your from ohio, i'm guessing your car was built at the norwood plant.... thus its got better paint than the van nuys cars...

I think it looks great... don't see many nice '82-84 cars around anymore. Look alot like my '83 Z28 HO actually, except my gfx and wheels are a copper color. I even have those black strips on the back of the doors too, lol

My only suggestion - find a '82-83 Z28 hood... they look better on the early cars, and they are fibreglass. Thats what I have, and I love it.
