here are the pictures of the work in progress

 

sicc87: Don't worry, they are getting painted black first thing this spring

The paint still needs to be buffed. Thats when the headlights will be painted. You guys think I should go with gloss or semi-gloss?

 

Semi, Dennis, Semi.

 

thank yo very much sir! looks like your berlinetta is coming along as well! what color ar you going with?

 

White! Should look almost identical to yours but with an SS hood and hawks 5" (Mayyybe.)

 

well that's awesome! i'm extremely flattered

 

Finally took some pics of my car. I've had for less than two months. It needs a repaint and I'm trying to find an original z28 hood for it.

 

Here's mine

 

you guys are making me so sad, my car was white from the factory, but the guy who owned it before me painted it silver.

Granted he had a good job done and it looks sick, but man what i wouldnt give to have it factory again.

When i get the cash itll be repainted factory arctic white with just a little hint of pearl in the paint.

 

 

Cool picture 91camaro! Nice car...

 

Hey 91camaro. You should take a look at my car's CD site. My car looks like yours, but with a different hood and grill. (and a few other things)

Kinda cool.

Nice car.

 

pics of mine are in my VB garage

 

Any new times Matt? What was the 60ft with the 13.5?

 

 

1.93 or so...i forget exactly..... i didnt have posi when i ran that time and on street tires so i wasn't able to launch it too hard

now i have posi and i want to get drag radials to see if i can improve the 60ft

 

1.93 on a peg leg, and street tires, isn't bad at all!

 

Yeah seemed to be that motor had a bit more in it. Good luck!

 

 

hey matt, you should put a real carb on that thing and watch your 60's really drop! in conjunction iwth drag radials, there's no reason that car shouldn't run lower 13's or high 12's.

 

i have thought about getting a 750 vacuum secondary holley like a 0-3310 and seeing if that helps..... i finally got jets and squirters so i think initially i am going to see how fast i can go on this carb...but i really want to swap and see 12's if i can

matt...would you suggest a 750 or what?

 

This is not a general discussion thread. If you have questions for members please PM them.

 

You guys are making me jealous! I am seriously considering painting my '85 Z28 white now! Keep the pics coming!!!

 

Here is my white 86 iroc-z, in need of serious TLC ;^)

 

shot from behind.



and here is one of her from the sidewalk. Can you guess how many things are shaved off this car?

 

Damn your car looks so nice! I like the !door lock, !signal lens and !gas door look. Probably do that to mine once the car gets painted.

 

The rear bumper "tuped port injection" emblem is missing, but not exactly shaved.

I don't see a radio antenna either. Shaved? Or motorized? I'm betting shaved.

 

thanks guys. The color really looks great in the sun! You both guyessed everything. Yeah there is not gonna be anymore TPI thing on the bumper, cuz she is carbed now. I still need to buy the Z28 symbol for the rear. But yeah, I like having as much stuff shaved as possible. Really makes these cars look more modern and retro at the same time. I love it.

Here is a pic of the motor, just in case you guys haven't been to my CD site.

 

You missed something! The nose emblem is still there!

You could do a painted on version like Neil did, or a sign shop could do a full color vinyl one, so you could shave it, put the vinyl version on, and it would look the same, but be smooth to the touch!

 

Here's mine...needs new paint, its 17yrs old!

 

I hate to be a **** but why does this thread continue while the black one got shut down?

favortism perhaps?

 

Yup, both an Admin JT and I have white Thirdgens.

Actually, no, because MetalliCamaroRS has a Black Thirdgen, and he was the one that closed that thread. I also have 2 black Thirdgens (89 and 90)

This thread was created long before the mods agreed no more general picture request threads, but we also agreed to grandfather in any existing threads.

 

Yeah, I know about the nose emblem. The body guy said it would be hard to have that be filled and stay nice over a long period of time, since up here in MA, it gets to be 90* in the summer and -10 in the winter, so the urathane parts streach and compress a lot and the filler would not mimic it exactly, so there might be cracking later on. I said forget it and told him to keep the nose and the Z28s on the GFX. I wanted to get rid of those too. But oh well. I like how it looks now. It still has a simple reminder to people that she is a camaro.

I also considered having emblems painted ans all that jazz, but, although it might not seem it. I built this entire car with $ in mind. I shopped around for a lot of stuff and esspecially the paint. To get the entire car down to metal and have all the parts 2 stage painted it only cost me 3 grand. Great deal. I had quotes for over 5.

just like with my motor, I had quotes for almost 9 grand for a fully forged roller motor making about 500 HP. I ended up gettting it for just over 6.

 

ah well then I'll just have to post negatives of my car in here

 

When we made the rule about these general color request threads, we were going to allow previously posted threads to remain open. However, people see these open and think it's a good idea to post another one of a different color and then don't understand when we lock it. So to prevent any further, we have agreed to lock all general color requests threads.
