Hey all! I just joined the site and thought I would introduce myself, give a little history about myself and my car, and post some pics.

I got my first third-gen when I was 15. It was a beat up, rusty '82 Z28. I am 27 now and have always had a third-gen. First the '82 Z28, then a '86 Firebird, '87 Firebird, and now my '91 Z28. I have had my '91 since '98.

In that time I have swapped the 305 TPI for a 350, added a host of bolt-ons including complete MSD ignition, B&M strip shift kit to the tranny, Eibach sportline springs with KYB shocks and struts, polygraphite bushings and transmission mount, DuPont Chromalusions color shifting paint, 18 inch TSW Montage rims, 4000 watt Audiobahn stereo system with DVD player and 2 screens, full Edelbrock exhaust (headers and cat-back), and more.

All work, including bodywork and paint, was done by me, my Dad and my cousin. Currently I am finishing the interior and plan on installing a new rear-end with disc brakes (hopefully a 12 bolt) soon. After that will be a ATI Procharger followed by new heads and some day a stroker kit.

Nice Camaro!!! love the paint havent ever seen a camaro with the color changing paint i like it thanks for sharing

 

Sweet car man, Good job on it.

 

same here love the paint

 

Nice looking car! I'm from your neck of the woods. If I ever get a car done we should get a cruise together.

 

Thanks fellas. Doing that paint job was a winter long project of driving it to work (I used to work in a body shop) with just the bare essentials to keep it street legal everyday, stripping it back down after work, working on it til 10 or 11 at night, putting it back together, and driving it home. Then getting up at six to go back to work and doing it all over again. It was a long a$s winter doing that every day, for about 4 months. In the end it was worth it tho.

 

need some pics in total sunlight before i can comment

 

the cars look good nice job

 

Welcome aboard TGO! Nice car man, I agree that we need some pics in the sunlight. Still, nicely done car!

Fixed

 

Verrry nice, what wheels are those?

 

TSW Montage B 18 x 8

 

Is it me or is the emblem on the grill changing colors too?

I gotta take pics of my mom Camaro. It's black with a perlescent(spellcheck) purple.

 

The chevy emblem by the fog lights? Yep that changes too. Along with the plastic trim on the door panels, the trim around the radio, the trim inside the the gauge cluster, and some other stuff

 

that paint looks simply amazing

 

very nice looking ride! welcome aboard!

 

WOW!!

 

Put some interior and engine shots up. Not a big fan of the paint but nice looking car.

 

Interior is pretty trashed from the T-Tops leaking. Ive got that fixed now so I am going to replace the seats, carpet and headliner.

 

fandamntastic !! first thirdgen i have seen with the color shifting paint . looks like you did it right . tasteful on the body , nothing big done to it . get insurance protection from the jerks . paid for that must be several K paint job . keep us posted on updates .

 

Definetly. I have a $10,000 rider on my policy to cover the paint.

 

Wow! I love it. Makes me want to do mine and keep it!!!

 

I've seen a few vehicles with house of kolor changing paint, but this one seems to be much more drastic in its changes... very interesting. Its very blue/purple dominant. I'm used to seeing the red/bronze color dominant paint schemes. The blue looks very cool.

 

Howdy! I see you're from Wisconsin! Nice car.

 

It is DuPont Chromalusion, not House of Kolor. Dupont has several different variations, some are red/bronze, some are green/purple. Mine does all the colors, that were available at the time.

 

well done! I think the cap to your car would be tinted tails. the red on the back stands out, and with tinted (not blacked out) tails the look would be complete. it would play off the black wheels. again freaking sweet car.

 

Killer paint! Awesome ride!

 

Welcome to TGO. with most everyone else. SWEEEEET Car!!!! Keep us updated when you get started on the interior.

 

Welcome to TGO!

I have to be honest with you, the only thing I don't like is in the very first pic theres a mustang in it. But then again the camaro is in front of it,and that's how it should be!!

Anyways, I see your from Hartford. I'm in New Berlin,WI if your ever heading to Milwaukee or going to cruise hwy 100 or something shot me a PM.

take it easy bro

 

I usually don't like color changing painjobs, but on yours it looks amazing. That thing must turn some heads.

 

Tinted tails isnt a bad idea. The easist obviously would be blacked out covers. I have actually considered the slotted tail shields and then painting them to match. I think that would look real nice.

BTW: The Mustang is my winter car. If I have to let the salt rot something out, it is going to be a Ford!

 

that's what i like to hear!

 

The color changing paint looks great on some cars, but.....the camaro is not one of those. If I saw that driving down the road I would hope to get a good look at the driver because that is definetely a chicks car.

 

yea that is one amazing Camaro you have there. i love the paint job to. hope to see the interior on it.

 

Paint looks very good. Nice touch.

 

All a matter of opinion. lol. I would personally love to have the exact same paint on a Camaro. Maybe a slightly different variation in color, but purple would be the dominant hue. I love the Hawaiin Orchid paint that the Camaro came with in 92... this is just an amazing plus from that. lol.

 

I have to agree with everyone..not a big fan of that paint on pretty much any car, but you did an amazing job and it looks awesome. Can't wait to see the interior.
