What do you guys think?

 

very nice

 

is that yours?.........i dont recognize it, it looks beautiful :yourock:

 

you didnt paint your car did you??I liked the black on black thing you have goin. and the loudnesss....

(notch isnt on yet.... )

 

I'm with you man I liked the black paint more. But its not my car...
Got any more pics?

 

Its not my car it is the 92 collectors edition camaro a prototype that never made it. I was thinking about making my car a clone of it. So what do you guys think?

 

I think NO.

 

no dont do that leave it alone the way it is
it looks good

 

Does anybody like the white

 

i like the white!!

i think i see black stripes on the pic of the white one. i think the black racing stripes would complemant the gta wheels very nicely

 

Finally a person that agrees with me Yes carlover those are black racing stripes. they look just like the heritage addition ones. I think the 92 collectors edition is a beautiful car and I am lokking forward to making a clone of one. One of the beautiful things is going to be the six speed vette tranny as soon as I figure out how GM modded the floorboards to get it to fit. I already have the tranny just need some parts off of a buddys car to convert my car to manual. I have tradded my hood for a flat one and I already have the GTA rims. I found the black stripes for $100 all I need to do is paint my car white. I am not going to do the RS emblems or the grey interior with the 90-92 dash. The way I see it there is only one collectors edition in the whole world to compare my car to so I do not need to make an exact replica. Besides it would be cool to have an IROC edition of that car anyway. I am debating black IROC-Z stickers on the doors but not sure if it would look too busy with the racing stripes or not.

here are some more pics of the collectors edition for you guys to enjoy. It is very rare and hard to find info on so if you guys can find some please post links on this thread...............

 

here they are .............. Hmmmmm they seem to be backwards

 

Red Stripes......that would look sweeeet!!!

 

i was strongly considering the t-56 swap as well, or any auto to manual swap on my car. let me know how it goes.

how much did you buy the transmission for?

glad to see your makin this car into an amazing performer and lookin good to top it off

 

I started the painting today I got the rear quarters, nose, rear bumper,and the fenders I love the white looks so fresh and so clean

 

No the stripes will be black. Got to keep some black

 

I was bout to post a huge rant about how much better black paint is than white (just a personal and artistic preferance). but that got deleted by accident... so instead i'll give you this advice

think about what the car would look like with black ground fx. Black paint at the bottom of the car makes the body look lowered. It sounds like its cheating but its a really cool effect black has. It blends in with the shadow under the car so when you look at it you almost can't tell where the sheet metal ends.
Just a suggestion... you might be able to photoshop the side view to get an idea it might even look like crap in photoshop. If it does then just keep it white with the stripes. the catch is that you might have to play around with how far up the black goes. If you dont go up far enough the black will make it look raised.

 

OK BLACK ICE -

Whadaya think about this one?? This is Sebring silver. Guy that owns this one is on this board. Me like!

 

Thats nice paint!!!

I was just thinking... any new paint job will probably make 3rdgens look good. I say this because bout 80% of the thirdgens I see have a really ghetto *** paint job if any at all. I hardly see 3rdgens that actually have a respectable paint or body condition (my car included ). It's sad to see these cars like that.

I'm only talkin bout what I see in MI by the way...the cars on thirdgen are ****ing cherries.

 

Yeah, I love the silver for some reason!!

On another note, I got outbid on a Weiand 142 Supercharger on ebay..

I tried.....got up to 1100 bucks, and I was still outbid! Looked pretty much brand new, but at 1100 bucks, it's getting too close to what I can but a brand new one for - with a warranty.

Guess I'll have to wait!

 

So anybody other than NutzZ28 care to tell me why they prefer black over white?

 

no, I perf. Gunmetal (a nice clean stock looking gta or formula from 88-92)


white is ok but, why does every camaro use the gta rims? I know that one in the picture was like that but? I even see alot of local camaros with the formula rims.... they say pontiac right on them

 

mine say camaro on them. I took a set of WS6 caps took out the emblems and put black ones with camaro in silver on them. The main reason I put GTAs on mine is cause nobody in town (untill recently) had GTA rims on their camaro. Now it is just a coincidence that the car I am building a clone of has them.

 

Looks good I take that back! It must have just been the color silver I was using.

 

I mean the formula ones, right on the side of the spoke it says pontiac ? oh well! I like the way your car looks though

 

O-sorry I thought you were talking about the GTA rims !!!!
Ive never seen a Camaro with formula rims must look weird.

 

i just think a good glack paint job looks so much better than a white one i guess white can look clean and all but the black when kept clean and shined is just so much nicer looking

 

exactly! plain white just isn't a sports car color to me.

I think most of us are speaking the same language here. If not let me translate it for you other guys...

White is easy to keep clean... in other words it practical and pleasant... great for everyday but it so... sterile

BLACK IS JUST PLAIN SEXY! Yeah it gets dirty and you got to wash it but when its clean and shinny lights reflect off the sheet metal the way a white paint job can only dream of.

 

As with many other things, color is just someone's preference. Your car - Your color. Unless you're building it to impress others instead of yourself.

Here's MY opinion FWIW.....

White with black stripes looks nice. And can look sporty. Easy to clean, shines too, and hides minor body imperfections.

Black has an awesome shine factor, but will show every imperfection the car has to offer no matter how minor. Unless you have a totally ding free car that you've spent endless hours sanding and prepping, black is not the best choice. Again just my opinion. And yeah, everyone has one.

There's only one or two years of 2nd gen cars I like, and here's one of them - and with white stripes! (drool)

 

One more try:

 

Is that a 70 or 71? My boss is selling a 70 for $200.

 

found a site that says a bit about it.http://www.camarosource.ca/new/new_l...ctors_ed_1.htm

 

Thanx for the info man any more info out there anybody?

 

everytime you start a thread, it turns out to be a million posts long......i love it :lala:

 

Yea I noticed that. It will get real long and then just die but thats O.K. cuase I always got somthing going on and start a new one (by the way keep on the lookout for a new one soon!)


Oh yea guess what! The car is oficialy white now !!!!!

Just need the stripes and emblems now!

Guess I should change my sig soon huh!

 

black ice, I was not snapping
I guess I am just thinking too hard about it. but, the formula rims on a camaro must be a sin the gta rims look like SCCA rims

 

those wheels with black ice's car when it was still black made me drool all over my keyboard.

i just noticed... did you change the front end before you painted it? I'm not sure but the white camaro has the luvered front end at the moment



this is the old pic... it has the iroc front end

 

Hey black ice i think your car is going to look awsome. there is a kid i went to high school with that has a 91 rs thats white with black gta wheels. if i still had my rs i would like to do something similar. but im pimpn' the formula now oh well im prety satisfied with it and im sure you will be with the outcome of yours.

 

Yes merlot I did change my front end but that pic at the top is not my car. I will post some before and after pics.

 

If its an exact clone.. could be nice .. and unique.

 

set 1

 

#2

 

And here it is in between

 

As long as Im posting pics here is my beater car.

 

Man the pics dont do it any justice. Crappy camera.

 

It looks really nice!

The wheels look lighter on the white car. the rear one looks almost like the gold colored gta wheels

 

man that looks better than i thoguht it would turn out.

in fact it looks amazing!:hail:

when are we going to see the black stripes?


if your interested ill be putting up my long awaited pics on my progress also.

ill put up the thread later. :yourock:

 

I am actually looking to see what they would look like silver so one of them is sanded I think it is the drivers side rear.



I still need to order them I will keep you guys informed.




Sweet lets see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
