Alright, I think I've gotten enough together that I can let ya'll get a li'l preview on what Im working on here.

Please take the following things into consideration:
1. Im still working on the graphics to get the fastest load time.
2. The info by each pic MAY not be correct, and PROBABLY is not complete.
3. Only a few of the sections/links work, and they are under the Camaro Section (Hoods, Exhaust, Body Mods).

Now, one last thing - as you see the pics all have a unique #. Since I do not know all the details on each car, Im relying on you all to help me out once it is up, to sort out the details like year/model(TA/RS/Z28/WS6 etc) and brand/type of mods (rim type, hood type etc.)

I hope you all like what you see and that the pics will keep coming. This is a LOT of work to put together, so I would also appreciate all the help I can get when it all is up, to sort out all the details. When doing so it would be great if you could just email me with the details and pic# or maybe we can start a thread regarding that on here.
Anyways, enough talk, here is what I have uploaded so far. I have tons more to come!

Looks good, hope there will be more than that, with more info, I'd recommend flash though that'd be cool. You gonna put this on CD maybe?

There will be much more than that. As stated, this is a sneak preview and thus is not finished. I am still relying on getting pics from people to make it as complete as possible, but I have a lot more than what is currently uploaded.

It wont be made in flash for a while - but possibly at a later point.

I have no plans on making it on CD as it will be added to continously.

Thanks a lot for the feedback - it is highly appreciated!

Not bad not bad at all. Looks good to me, wish I had something like this before I did the work on my car. Of course I'm pretty happy, but it's good to see people will have an idea of what their car will look like before they do the work to it.

Was their engine shots on there? Gotta go back and look again.

Gotta hand it to ya, that looks freakin sweet, I hope to see my car in the firebird section.

ya know if you did put it on CD and contacted some companies about advertising for them that could be a hell of a money maker.

ChevyKen, on the hood section, the car second down on the left...the red one, is Jim85IROC's car, and his hood is a Harwood cowl.

Very good Ken. I see what you were talking about now. I could see that getting the info would be the hardest part(year and etc.) The site is very clean and well laid out. It's not cluttered or confusing at all, very straight forward.

Wow, looks good Ken, I haven't checked everything out yet though. If you would consider putting my exhaust pic on there here's an attached pic. It's the Hooker cat-back. Oh, one more thing, I think a good idea if possible, would be to include sound clips of the exhaust pics, if possible.

edit: sorry the pic came out so big

Ken, there is an error on page 2 of your body mods. When you go to click to get a larger image of the 2 seater roadster, a TA close up pic shows up. Just wanted to let you know.

Looking good man. One idea though: you may want to think about setting it up so that you can have multiple pictures for each entry, such as one particular car with a nice hood, having a front on and a side shot (when they're available). Just an idea.

Looks sweet! one thing I noticed is that there were several dead links... including the one pointing to the firebird section... I assume that this is just because those are in progress, but I'll just mention it as a heads up if not.

One other thing, the "lamborghini" doors are actually called "butterfly" doors and it's actually a feature found on other exotic cars for purposes of functionality. The designers were looking at these 7-8' wide cars and noticed that in a regular parking spot, it would be extremely difficult to get out of the car anything short of contortion... so they made them open vertically. As far as gull wing doors go, those are just for show.

Thanks again for lots of great feedback!!

Ions91Z28,
Im not doing engine shots yet - but will add that later together with some other ideas that I have.

86FyrBrd,
Thanks man - and yes, your bird will get several shots, and one central one..

MetKiss316,
Thanks a lot for the details on that one man, this is the exact kind of help that I really need you guys for in order to get it complete. For later, a pic# makes it even easier for me to locate, but either way will work. Thanks again!

jobryan26,
Thanks a lot bud, and your pics collection is a GREAT help!!

Mark A Shields,
I would definitely like to add your exhaust pic - do you have one that shows it a little better? It is kinda hard to see in that pic.
I had actually also planned to add sound files to that section - I think I asked for that in the other thread. It would be GREAT to get sound files that belong to the actual shots!!
Thanks also for letting me know about the glitch on the roadster.. those glitches are so easy to make, so it is great that you guys let me know when you see it.

IROCThe5.7LIROCThe5.7L,
Yeah, just send me some good pics and it will be added!

Mike92RS,
Thanks man! Yeah, thats a good idea. Only back side is that I would have to make a page for the pop-up pics rather than just the pic, which would make it very time consuming. BUT the idea is absolutely worth considering. As you might see already though - there are some cars that have multiple pics already, but they are just separate "entries" in the list.

gta324,
Thanks - and the firefird section is in the works as well. So it's all coming

ChillPhatCat,
Thanks! Yeah, I know there are dead links, as I think I stated in the initial post - I've only uploaded the parts that I have "fairly" done already.
Also, thanks a lot for the info on the doors. I will change that. I'd just always seen them referred to as Lambo' doors - but that doesn't mean that is correct

So thanks again for all the help and inputs so far. And to those that want to get their car in the guide - there is NO secret to it. Simply send me some good pics of your car and I will put them in the category they fit. At this point I would really like to get more good exhaust shots as well as soundfiles. I would also appreciate it if you Photoshoppers would send me your creations. Seeing all the requests for that on here, I think it could be benefitial and cool to make a collection.
However, I also accept all other pics.

So, keep them coming and I'll keep working!!


Ken

Looking real good.

In the Camaro exhaust section, pic #3001 is my '86 sport coupe. They are 4" polished stainless steel Supertrapps. That pic isn't the best angle in the world, I took it at that angle in order to help someone else out. I'll look and see if I can find a better pic for you.

I notice that you don't have a pic of my cowl hood, which is unlike anyone elses here. Here are a couple of good links for you of my hood: Hood off car and Blue502. May I suggest that in this section, you might want to break the pictures into subpages based upon the hood brand and type, so as to make it easier to find a particular hood type, and therefore see any associated pictures side by side.

If you are looking for subtle modifications, two on my Camaro are the shaved nose and TransAm gfx.

Chevyken: nice work again, I went and look at it a little further. Sound files and engine sounds great to me whenever they get added. I disagree with the flash comments though, flash can be very annoying sometimes, while other times people don't have the flash plug-in (yes, I know most everyone does know) but still.

Swede, nice page.

Blue502,
I actually though I had your car in the Hoods section. It will be added for sure! Also, I never noticed that you car had T/A gfx - but thats real cool!! I will also consider your "grouping" idea at a later point - but that again requires that I have all the info first for all the pics, so it won't be in the first "version". Great idea though!!

Swede,
Nice looking site there man. As stated above, I might make it in flash later on, but not right now.

86street,
Saved your pic - it will be added!

jobryan26,
Not really, just any good work, like cool color variations, body mods, different rims and so on.

Thanks once again for checking out part that is already up, and for the feedback. It is GREAT help!


Ken

Hey
ChevyKen

I think a custom interior section would be a great part to add on.
When I was redoing my interior, an assortment of different interiors would have been great.
Just my 2 cense

Spindr130,
An interior section will be added - but Im not sure if it will be now. I've gotten quite a bit of interior shots too now, so it actually might be added at this point, but that is not 100% set yet.

SlowCamaro88SC,
Thanks for the link - I actually think I already have your pic saved, but I saved it again to make sure!

Oh, and to Chuck - yes, that's Denny Villemure's beautiful vert. Keep an eye on that thing, there are some serious things in the works!!!

I have pretty much all the current material for the Camaros taken care off, but have not uploaded it yet. I will though, as soon as it is finished. The guide has been paused for a few days now as I've been working on building my new computer. As a matter of fact, this is the first post on the new one. Im hoping to get at least the Camaro section "finished" (as in uploaded and in need of inputs from ya'll LOL) before next week - but we'll see.

Glad to know you guys are anxious!!!
