anyone want to post a pic?

Hey guys, I have been working on a car for a customer for a couple weeks now and thought you all might like a sneak peak of it, the owner told me he comes on here and has been wanting to post pictures but does not have a digital camera, anyways let me tell you a little bit about the car, its a 92 camaro rs, we hve shaved the antenna, side markers, all emblems, molded the rear spoiler in, it has corvette dual oval exhaust exiting through the rear bumper, 4 inch cowl induction hood, lt1 engine with a turbo 400, 18x9 zr1's 68 camaro taillight custom molded on to the car, i havent included pics of anything but one side shot, we were picking the car up to take it from his house back to the shop to sprayit charcol grey met, with grey pearl and satin black hockey stick on the side as well as teh sides of the cowls, the interior is next to be competed and will be mostly red with some black, custom fiberglassd center counsol and the nitrous tank will also me fberglassed into the car, its going to be a very clean car and i will keep you all updated from this point until its complete which should be mid april let me know if anyone can host some pictures of it from me it would be great help thanks guys.

I definately want to see pics, i am curious how you are putting all this together and making it look right, not calling bs or anything but i am unsure of the look i cant put the combo together in my head lol.

Only thing i dont agree with is all this is being done by someone else, but hey not everyone has the knowledge, ability, space or time to do what some of us do by ourselves

PICS

personally it sounds very over done as some of the mods don't flow well with the lines of a typical thirdgen however who cares about conventional wisdom. post the pictures or email them to me and i'll post them for you.

does this "customer" plan to take it to any shows,

www.camarosuperfest.com

wink... wink....



if midland wasn't so far from me i'd take the trip to see something different. i'm excited to see the 68 tail light mod and the charcoal paint but until i see the actual car the rest doesn't appeal to me but i love to see different things so get this rolling and put a picture up.

hey gys hanks for the kind words, as fars as teh mods we have done, the hardest thing to do so far was teh 68 taillights, the shap of them do not flow around teh corner of the car like the original ones, it doest not look to over done at all, most of the things dont to the car were removing pasrt we didnt want, antenna emblems ect. the z3 fenders were tough to fit but not bad, im taking my camera into the shop today and having them put on the computer there, i had to download some program to allow th picture to load on my computer and somone over there will know what there doing thanks guyus, this isnt bs i promise you, just keep an eye on this post you will get just a small idea of what were doing

i'm another one with the "I'll believe it when I see it" perspective here. It's just suspect when a brand new member talks about having done 1.5 million mods that are uncommon and says they have pics but don't post right away. I hope I'm proven wrong, but doubt I will be.

I'm curious as to how you molded fiberglass to metal... with the rear spoiler... are you not afraid of cracks?


The fender vents look well done IMO but everything else isn't really my style. I'm curious as to how the tail lights worked out from the side... is there just empty space there now like the C4 light conversion?
