Took new pics today wiht the cam set at 640x480 and the quality is much, much better, except its in the garage so you cant see the whole car or a good side shot you can see my paint quality
And lots of stripes

Decent poppage outta the center stripes

And a 350. That thing is awesome, keep up the good work!

edit: never mind, just read your sig, that is going to be insane, hope you get some nice suspension pieces.

WOW i honestly did not expect so many positive reply's to so-so pics. I' think i have mastered the camera though so its all good

Digitalmonarch its a 4" harwood show series (very impressed with the quality)

Nolan, hoping to get some here within the next year want some ttII's

Fndmntls still havent gotten it for you bro, i'll have it out more this week and have made a littel post it next to the keys to remember to get it for you. It is ppg dark bright teal metallic

The pics are ok that ice rink one is sweet and teh ones you did with the wheels and bags:hail: I took some in the garage today and they came out better but i'm still figuring this camera out.

For now i'm just going to build the 305 up to hold me off for now, going to do heads, cam, intake manifold, headers and lots of computer work, then in the future i will have my 406 all built.

Everyone said go small hood when i was looking at em, heard many times 4" is to big for a street car....but i knew the spoiler and hood would make a nice set of lines on it.

Future plans call for my 406, 4th gen seats, air ride, wheels, and some odds and ends here and there, this will be my first year actually competing in shows, since the paint took longer than expected i didnt get to really show it last year before it all ended so this year i will be at most of the judged shows including the denver rod and custom show day after thanksgiving next year.

Still waiting for kandieds verdict

neat looking, most dont like the 4" cowl unless its needed for clearance, i somewhat agree. I think a 3" or 2 1/2" looks best.

Dude you dont even know how cool that is, THe car had a huge positive reaction at teh few cruise nights i got to go to before it got put away, and knowing that people are impressed with it makes me feel great, makes me realize i have put together somethign cool for being 19 and on a fairly tight budget.

FLYNLOW got a little crotch rocket, i talk to him on aol once in awhile, guess the ls1 just wasnt fast enough.

Fndmntls thats sweet dude how do i go about attaching that so it shows in my sig

That is pretty much what it looks liek all the time, the old camera showed the color as real light teal, it is dark, up close with the right lighting it looks soaking wet

I do need to get a good coat of wax on it soon to finish off the little swirls here and there

Well paint and bodywork alone was 3k that was taken to metal, the few minor dings that were there were massaged out, then the entire car was skimmed and blocked out spoiler was 350, new front gfx was 200, bumper was 350 i think
Roughly it was 3900 for everything,
Then the hood was 600

so about 4500 for what you see

Then you figure in my mods and "repairs" ie relays, stuff like that and stereo stuff and i'm in pretty deep.

And it will have one helluva motor i tell you what
