hey thirdgenSS, the pic you want a poster of (pic of rear of car going thru intersection) would be awesome if you photoshopped out the "do not block intersection" sign. all my good photos have telephone cables or power lines in the view, so the car looks awesome, but the scenery suffers.

i really like the red lights, do you drive around w/ them or was that just an effect.

if your talking about the head lights, no those would only be on when parked cause they are illegal. its a 194 bulb in each headlight housing and i have changed them to multiple colors since i got them...they are now white at the moment so i can ride with them on but i dont usually.
----------
third pic from the bottom you can see the white ones are on

Is Groune Zero a car club that you have locally?

You need to get an SS hood so you can take advantage of your username.

Prove it

The SS production nameplate died in the fbody world during the 2nd generation, and didn't come back until 1996.

Yea, I said there were no production SS's. Anyone can make a custom Camaro and call it an SS. But it's not an SS.

The difference is that SLP did a good job at what they did. And they're not custom cars really. They're a factory-ordered model that you could get straight from the dealership.

yeah same here, the previous owner had it towed on a flat bed after the battery died. the angle was too steep and the font lip scraped in his gravel driveway. it was pretty noticeable and the only bad thing on the body. i hit it up with some rattle can touch up paint and u couldnt tell it was touched up unless u were like 4 feet away....since then ive replaced the whole thing and got it repainted though

Choo Choo must have gotten they're act together after the Camaro. The 84 El Camino SS was a factory order car also that came through Choo Choo. They looked awesome in Black or Red. I believe all they sell now under a different name is El Camino custom parts.

People are feeling critical today!?
I think it looks pretty good, I don't mind the led headlights for when it's parked. The picture with the engine showing through the hood is pretty cool too!
Keep up the good work

Hey, how is that DVD screen mounted in the car? Is it a flip out screen or just a stationary screen? It looks good in there.

screen is satationary it is mounted to a custom cut peice of steel that goes back behind where the hvac is and is mounted to a stock screw position back there...if i were to take it out..there are no holes in the dash or elsewhere. you would not be able to tell there was ever a tv in the car....car can be returned to completely stock...i try to keep all my modifications\add ons that way just in case one day its worth something...u never know
