Lookin' Good!

 

Lookin good man

 

Awesome job, I sprayed my first car last year.. and rushed a bit on the clear.. Wanted to be ready for a car show in two weeks time.. Either I had not enough pressure, or my atomization was crazy, but I got terrible orange peel, (In my home build garage spray booth) sanded for hours and I think I took 75% of the clear I laided down, off

 

Thanks guys, still struggling a little. Bumper is fixed a couple other little spots fixed, had to sand down the hood and re spray it took all damn day, grill is totaled got mother on order will get it done tues. Gonna wet sand spots that I won't be able to do when it is together and star putting it back together tomorrow

 

Yea I couldn't bump up the pressure much cause of the filters I was using and it has some peel in it. I dont mind wet sanding just probably won't have time before this show. Next time I might put a ill more effort into trying to rent a booth, probably would have saved time in the long run.

 

Just don't get discouraged. I'm sure it will look awesome!

 

It looks good Charles! Will just have a lot of wet sanding to do down the line, no biggie, just no time before the show.

 

Any new pics?

 

Not much to take a picture of Charles, pulled the paper off, moved stuff around a bit. Should be together soon!

 

As usual I forgot to take pics last weekend, but found a few. Still have to cut/buff it, but its allllmost there

 

Your car looks great Grngry! Looks like it was a pretty good show. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend this year. Maybe next year.

 

Looks great! I love that hood

 

Jordan, Dude you are too modest.

The car can use a very small amount of detail, but looks positively stunning.

The fit, finish and margins are flawless.

It earned class winner for its class.

 

Car looks good, I admire all your hard work, stay encouraged and post some more pics if you have some.

 

Thanks, I drove it across town last weekend to an Italian Car day and was fortunate enough to catch an open spot in the guest parking next to my favorite car of all time, Countach! Car would be totally done, but football season happened. Just need to finish up the gaps, get all my little scratches out from buffing, and get a shop to put the front window seal in. It's looking great though, very happy with the way it came out. I'll take out out and get some good shots when it's all done

 

Hi Jordan.

 

Hows the car been coming along...

 

I should finish up buffing this weekend. Finally got the right compound to get all the wet sand scratches out, this clear is hard as heck, I had to get a rougher compound. Also have to touch up the front ground effect when it gets warm enough, I burned through it. Then maybe another weekend to play with gaps, and get someone to set the front windshield. All minor stuff, just takes time.

 

Nice job on the Camaro. I like the staggered wheels, they look great!

Drooling over the car. Looks great !!

 

Thanks. Made a few dings in the fenders trying to fix the hood gap. Going to take it to PDR on Friday and then the car is gravy. Will take it out and get some good pics, and some photos of the completed emblems sometime in the next couple weeks.

 

Finally got some time to take a few decent shots. Thanks for the support guys. Next stop engine swap.

The car looks great! I love the wheels. What are the plans for the engine swap?

 

Thanks LSX and T56 is the only must on the list. Ideally I'd like to do a newer 6.0 with a magnacharger, LY6, L96 or something. I'm still saving doing research, so if I find a good used maggie that won't fit that things might change.

 

Looking real good man! The buff made a huge difference, especially in person.

Liking your plans with the LSX/Magnacharged!




Lol, got my POS somewhat together. It's slowly looking like a "show car" again, and not like a, well a POS.

 

Glad to see u getting it back together. Nice

 

Lol, Buggy, you could still take me even without a FP regulator right now. Engine swap is probably a ways off still, but thats what I'm working towards at least, car has just about everything else already. Can't wait to see yours up and running good, it looks like you've been making good progress even if it isn't as quick as you hoped.

 

Looks GREAT! Would love to see this in person one day

 

That's a great looking car!!! Nice job and love that color!

 

Thanks guys. You should come down to The Gathering some year. We have a great time with the TGO group. There are some others that come down from the Carolinas too!
