get ready cause here comes a rant. im nota big fan of the mods done to the car. altho it appears as you have a real talent to do these things they just dont do it for me. the Z3 vents are way to r*ce, i c em on every honda around here. the tails dont look that good, granted the pic sucked but they just dont look like they flow with the car. if it was a trans am it would be different causeof the way the quarter ends. shaving the antenna im ok with, i did it to my car so im kewl with that. and im digin the rims if i didnt spend so much time polishing my irocs i would def have a set. now onto my next gripe, u want people to request u to post more pics. u have got to be kidding me, that has go to be the stupidest thing ive ever heard. im just at a loss for words with this one. anyway nice job on all the custom work, i mean u def have some talent, its just not somethin i would ever want to see on my car. however just my opinion someone else my love the look

2 for 2

but, when we see the finished product it will look good

 

O bring a ruler man because I highly doubt those are 18 inch wheels..they look like 17s to me..

 

waiting...........

 

are the wheels on the axels? or just sitting on the ground?

and, there is no way there 18's....do they even make an 18" version of that wheel?

 

thanks for teh comments, just got back from snapping some more pictures, as far as teh molding fiberglass to metal, we have our ways and i have done it to many cars( got a pic of it) as far as teh ****, thats alrigth man its not veryone style, but when the cars doen imsure you might have second thoughts, the only reason we did teh shaving and filling in any body emblems is for a clean look, i want this car to have kinda an old school feel to it and i dont want any lines that arent needed, i have some 60s camaro emblems that are going to be put on this car after the body work is complete, as for teh tailllights again, its everyones job to have an opinion, this is another mod i am sure will win you over when its done, it has no extra lines aroudn teh side, teh taillights pretty much blend into teh spoiler, i want the mods we have done to look like tehy were origianlly supposed to be there, not to look out of place or *****. again thanks everyone for there comments, and i realy appreciate the kind words about my talent, being as young as i am and have my dream job already and doing stuff on cars that hasent been done before puts a smile on my face all day, im working on loading the pics up right now boys, i will try to post them myself if it dosent work ill email my boy up again

 

i have a wheel in my basement you want me to messure it?

 

just think, if you spent less time typing ABOUT the pics, we could have 5 dozen pics by now.


hehe, just messing...cant wait to see 'em.

 

i have never seen those wheels in 18. ive seen the GM 16 and 17 inchers and the after market 17's but never bigger. i looked all over as i was gonna put em on my iroc but i never came across any 18's. and it looks like they are sittin on the axles from the pics. so much for round rims.
matt
o and im sure it will look good when its done. most thirdgens do when they are clean, it just wont be somethin that will catch my eye

 

My point was the wheels on the project car look like 17 inchers..not 18...the ruler comment was a joke...anyways i have to go run an arrend so if you end up having to email the pictures it may take about 30 minutes for them to be posted.

 

wheels are not on the axles, the car is on jacks and the whels are sitting in the aprox location, as for the size of the wheels i dont know what to tell you.... there 18s

 

Here you go, enjoy. (taillight)

 

Here you go. 18 inch corvette zr1 wheels. (wheels)

 

Here we keep on going. (spoiler)

Image removed- Check out the rules please.

 

Might as well use the BMW logo on there too.......

 

sorry wrong wheel picture

 

sorry, next time i will leave a car totally stock just to make you happy

 

i got more critisism(sp) for u. just take it as constructive critisism for ur next project. the tails are too small for the rear of the car they lust look outa place. the way the spoiler angles down the quarter looks bad to. instead of complementing the stock tail lights like before it now just trails off into no where. and i donno about molding all the parts into the body. these cars flex like you would not believe. ive seen em molded before and they crocks dont show up right away but they will in time, theres no way around it. and the wheels, yea that proved they are 18's, u only show the end of the tape. for me to believe this i gotta see both ends in one pics. again ur doin ok work its just not my taste.
matt

 

again spolier is not completed yet, your lookig at a car that is only 2 weeks into customizing, the lines still are not all where they need to be, taillight, thats cool if you think there to small, i personally think the stock ones are to big and the only way i cared for them was if they had taillight covers on them, so i need to take another picture of the wheels? your crazy but i will if thats what it takes

 

its obvious the rims are 18's you can tell..he just needs to put the tape measure over abit..cause 9' is almost in the center...i think the tails might be ok...i would have to see them installed and everything in a bright pic to really tell..but everything else is cool..give you for credit for customizing abit..its always nice to see alil change here and there

 

Sweet. Where'd you find 18" ZR1's?

 

Just take your time and read the other posts man..

 

just keep doin your thang.

 

Hopefully youll get that front bumper and hood fitting a lil better also.

 

yes ,thats what its gonna take.

 

Looks interesting. I have to say I am kind of liking the Z3 vents. If I had a Camaro I thought of having older style lights made on a custom panel, except I'd update the look a bit and have them be made of LEDs. Oh and if you want to post more pictures than the 3 limit host them yourself at image shack, it's the easiest thing in the world

 

I think the custom tails look cool. They don't really look out of place because like a thirdgen, the body does have some boxy/square lines and so are the tails. The stock tails are just the same but bigger, same shape really, those are just smaller. Nice custom work, you have a nice talent.

 

I know i'm asking for it, lol but i like the tails, i think thats gonna look real nice, cant really complain about the fenders either, if you think about it they are smaller but very simialr to the fender vents that were on some of the late second gens, they had the finned ones and the open ones like flynlow had. Really everythign else doesnt seem to be all that super custom, moldings easy tons of people doing that, emblems delete, i like people to know what it is so i dont care for it but everyones got a different taste, teh 4" cowl hood definately bitchin, I think it looks like more than a few small details to finish up though since you are going to have to go over the body before paint, i thought this was at a shop? all the pics look like a driveway to me.

Cant wait to see the final product

 

the tail lights are the only thing i haven't seen done so congratulations on that.



as far as the rest i wouldn't dare judge without seeing it in person, any idea on the color or scheme for the car as i think that will really be the breaking point. if i had anything to add the hood really doesn't fit the flow with such a large cowl reguardless of your build style. beyond that i love seeing new and different things. you should be sure to have your customer bring it to www.camarosuperfest.com would be great advertising for yourself and a good time for the owner as i'd love to see it.

you'll have alot of competition with this car which is also right by you. very similar in modifications. look forward to seeing it.

 

Wow that has got to be one of the ugliest colors i've seen, yet strangely i am in love with it

 

 

i duno, i kinda like the color.

looks good with those rims.

 

thanks guys, the hod, is just set on not bolted, the bumpers have a few bolts in it but wil be removed for paint, dont worry about any of the molding we did to crack, we use a product that holds up better then a weld, you can shave your door handles with the stuff and insted of welding the filler plate in use this and beats it to death with a hammer and its not gonna move, thanks for the kind words, we do havea shop, but its not being painted at our shop, new place and we dont have the room inside for it, were wokring on a 68 belair wagon as well as a 96 camaro at teh same time so the room isnt all there, color will be charcoal grey met, with satin black hockey stick up the side and on the side of the cowl. we should be able to get some work done on it today i will kepp you all updated, as for the wheels there 18s man, i will take another pic if you want, and i can get then sent to your door for 500- 18x9.5 or pick them up

 

as for the show, yeah that would be pretty sick to bring it out, i will check out the sight and see what the dates are, thanks guys and for the haters on the wheel size i got another pic alread by i hope to update you with some exhaust pics when i post this picture the color is really close to the same as teh wheels but darker

 

= Your friend

I'm not gotta comment cause its hard to tell anything from the pics. I can't tell how good of a job you did on the taillights but that sure will look unique when its done if its a quality job.

 

those tailights are WAY to small..

 

thaks guys im glad to hear everyone opinions on the car, i will update you all with pictures as often as i get them, you wont have to worry about any of the linse in the taillights being off, this is our career, its what we do for a living guys so wil do it right, if you guys need any parts email me dtcustoms@hotmail.com were working on setting up a website soon i hope, im sure people will start gong on again about me being the new guy and making everythingthing up, but if your close enough, i mean 150 miles or closer i will deliver them personally if the order is big enough, im pretty sure i will beat most everyoen prices, im not out to profit much on parts, thats not my game

 

i smell a salesman...

 

say what you want yea im here to show you somthing differnet, which i did, but if you need parts im telling you there prices will be beat, but hey if thats not what you want thats cool, not sure why some of you guys have to be so harsh, i have had few pweople so far that havent came out saying bs this or bd that.... i showed you the things you doubted so what do you want?

 

i think its pretty sweet. the tail lights kind of look weird but i think it's b/c its not painted and not a very clear shot of them. but i think they will look awesoem when its said and done. nice work

 

I believe that color is known as "Attention ***** Green" Very popular on the show circuit .

 

i still dont understand that color... i mean...why not just buy a honda?

 

Oh I'm not calling it honda-esque or ric3r, I'm calling it gaudy. Doesn't matter what car its covering.

 

i know your not calling it a honda color...I am.


i mean, maybe with flames/strips to break it up it would be cool...but just that color alone gives me a headache.

 

Kermit Kamaro! Thats what its called around here

 

http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com...s/camaro.shtml

18" ZR-1s at the bottom of the page. I don't know much about the company but yea, there you guys go.

 

i like the green car...ive always wanted to see a candy green camaro..in alil way i find it suits a truck better..but at the same time im a big fan cause it alot different..everyone seems to use the same colours so its a nice change

 

Im pretty sure thats not candy green, but nonetheless it's one smooth color. By truck you mean like a dropped s10 or something right? not a 3/4 ton silverado lol

 

well it looks like HOK planet green or dupont feista green...sorry i shouldnt have said candy

ya mostly mini trucks..but i have seen feista green on a 2001 silvardo

 

18"zr1's now I am very torn on my next wheel choice
