My friend kyle got this car a few years ago for a grand. It was in rough shape. Needed body work,paint,interior work,motor work etc. Him and his dad (Just like me and my dad) are restoring his car.Recently,he did a TON of body work. He just painted it today. The car is originally a Berlinetta. He swapped the front bumper and the rear bumper,and added ground effects. So now its a z28 Replica. The car has a 305 that is carbed. It has a 4L60E Tranny with a shift kit. Nice car. Went to a hell of a process. Ill post some pictures. His dad,soon,will most likely be painting my car. If you could show some support thatd be great! im trying to convince him to make an Account on here. Thanks guys

Ill post pics from beginning til now. This is the only pic i have of when he first got it. It had different rims on it,and it wasnt primered. It looks alright but the body was pretty Effed up

 

new rims and bumper

 

Ground effects

 

 

The Finished product! Looks good. Its gonna get another coat of Clear i think

 

Good stuff. I like seeing people fix up thirdgens...

 

Came out very nice, wish i knew how to paint...

 

Nice progress so far!

Any engine plans?

 

Well for the moment hes gonna keep his 305:P Ina year or two we're gonna do a 350 swap.he wants a 400 Lol

 

always nice to see a diy'er but i hope you put on a lot more clear because that thing needs to be rubbed out a lot.

 

looks good! but why the 85-90 rear bumper n gfx with the rest being 91-92

 

this is my car and it was shot in enamel but it still needs to be wet sanded and buffed

 

It was only 25 bucks and there aren't to many third gens in northwest indiana so i got what i could get but it doesn't look to bad

 

Ahaha everyone i got him to make an account! His names Kyle

 

Great stuff guys. I love seeing a car go from looking like a clunker to a legit restore. Just look at your first picture then at it sitting in the garage....thats freaking awesome. keep it up!

 

Paint sure does make a dramatic difference. Looks good.

 

Looks good so far! Keep up the good work.
