Well this is what the car looked like when I first got my hands on it. As you can (barely) see, it was black, so Im planning on painting it black because I'm far too lazy to completely rip the car down and rebuild, and this way the trim etc. will match w/o too much trouble.

btw, it is actually a z-28/iroc-z It has most of the goodies that come with such. I did completley gut the interior though, the red had to go, its got the old interior from my 88rs in it (black), so i did lose some of the neat interior accesories that come with a z, so its hardly all original or anything like that, but she's my baby.
edit: unfortunatley, she is making a gross sound that sounds like the game boggle when you shake it... I think its the front pump in the tranny, so I may have to swap that out soon

lolNot sure about paint yet, I know it looks decent in the pics but there's still some minor body work that needs to be done.

Looks good man, I'd definitely say it has potential. It looks like you've done a good job so far and I like the choice of color you're going with (of course

black is one of the best colors for camaros i think, or even a really dark metallic blue.
never was a fan of that hood but its ok. sure looking good tho, especially once you get the paint put on

Nope, no 3 piece, if you look at the pic of when I first got it, it was gone when i got it, although it did originally have one because the left side of it was in the hatch space.
