Well I brought my car in for body and paint the second week of July....it's still in there. When it's finished Ill list all the new stuff etc, but I just wanted to show where it's at. It was an 86 sport coupe, but it's slowly and unintentionally transformed into a Z28, but I think it looks better now having the new nose and so on. I wont tell the paint color yet, but when you see it dont hate me if it's somewhat similar to a certain 'widely loved' red Z on this site


first is before it hit the shop....notice how the sport coupe bumper, and new bumper make the hood look wayyy different



Somewhat recently




and today...

 

Love it!!! I always did like those nostril pics!! Can't wait to see it done!! Good job.

 

looking good!

 

looking good ....

the hood looks like it has a coke problem ...sniff sniff...LMAO

 

its been that long?! jeez i would bitch at them everyday until i saw some real progress. it better be flawless. anyway cant wait to see it. any other goodies you could tell us about the engine and other up-grades

 

Take 5 minutes and take the emblem off the nose instead of masking around it.

 

Yea, it's taking alot longer than expected, and should. Out of the 3 months its been in there, I counted about 5 weeks where it sat untouched in a corner. The reason they gave me was that 'they gotta take the insurance vehicles first'. Well nonetheless they still pissed me off, but now are getting hard to work on it. Oh, and when I said mods, I guess I was getting a little ahead of myself on that. What I meant was that they have done a ton of work to this car since it went in there. Handles were shaved, new hood, new front and rear bumpers, gfx, windshield, dents pulled. And to my suprise when they peeled the old gfx off there was some rust underneath that they had to repair. Im happy to say that Im also 100% bondo free! BTW, the hoo also had a bunch of waves and imperfections on it as well so they've been working it over like crazy. Got the 5in spoiler the other week as well. Thanks for the comments, and Firebird 383, I agree with your statement.

 

i'd be pissed, but it looks likes its starting to get there

 

btw, does anyone know why the third pic is the only one that has the cardomain logo on it? Its also the only pic on the homepage that has it as well...

 

lets see more pics of that montecarlo next to ur car! , jk

 

lol its funny you should mention the monte, cuz everytime I go down there, it seems like they get 2 more in...not to play stereotypes or anything but the shop is down in the 'latino area of st paul' and every monte that comes in is sittin on switches....cool to see them hop though

 

i thought that was an SS, even though monte with switches are cool ...just make sure there not SS' with switches!, what a waist

 

Not a fan of the hood, but good work, and keep us up to date!
