looks good. Im deff happy you painted the headlight buckets black. Every 3rd gen camaro should have black on the headlight buckets. Gives it more of a aggressive look then, having white buckets which looks plain and boring

ok, some updates after i have installed the lights and got her dropped. cut 1 coil off each corner. i think it looks really good and still has the light spring rate i wanted for the weight transfer.
not the best weather for pictures, i'll have to get some nicer ones when the parents get home with their camera and i have access to it whenever i want.

they are, they're just REALLY dirty right now cause of the rain/brake dust. just put new pads on the front but they were cheapies that produce lots of dust. i know i know, shame on me for cutting corners. the lack of daylight wasn't helping the situation any either.

that's my buddy calvin's mustang. it's an 88 lx 5.0 5speed convertable.
i think that the 3 slat nose is what sets the whole car off!

mmmmm i love fox bodies. Some day i hope to own a 87-93 GT convertible....white on white or red with tan interiorsome day....
Lookn good!! Did you spray it yourself? How much did everything cost?
On a side note, those SVO's are pretty fun. I had one for a while, got it for pretty cheap too. I like the engine setup because the 4 is alot lighter than the 8 (better for road racing IMO), but I personally think the suspension design of the SVO sucked (pre 87-93 design). My old SVO is still in the family, still boosting 15+psi strong, motor/trans probably gonna be swapped into a 88 chassis pretty soon here ...

i payed a buddy of mine to spray it. not going to go into details about the cost cause it was a "good-guy" deal so...but i'm more than pleased with everything that he's done for me. the paint with the color and clear cost about $200. i just told him to find the brightest white he could find. then the buckets and grill are jet black.

car started life as a 1990 RS, so, it stays a RS.
as far as cutting the springs, i cut them with a cutting wheel on a hand held makita grinder. while i was doing that, i had my lady friend spray the area that i was cutting with water so that i didn't overheat the metal. 1 coil off all the springs. be careful to watch where your standing though, i kinda got electricuted on the last spring...

Most impressive
You have taken what would be s--tcanned by most and turned it into someting sharp in a very short time frame. Your dedication to completing the job/project is something admirable.
The outcome is just as impressive considering your start point.
