There's a big improvement, rust-wise.

Re: 87 camaro z28 convertible build

Great work so far, really looking better. I really think that it would be awesome to get her to look like she did new, yellow paint is uncommon and being a convertible is less common especially if she could possibly be a 1 of 1. I would try my best to keep her original color scheme. otherwise glad to see her coming back to life.. can't wait to see more updates!

Re: 87 camaro z28 convertible build

Thanks man. Still debating if I'm going to keep it blue or go back to yellow. The yellow with the black top and interior would look nice though.

I have a black interior in my 87 but want tan. Maybe we should figure out a swap. I'd be up for a drive with my black 87 interiorfor you tan 87 interior.
If it's the deluxe interior

The more I see of this car, the more it needs to go back to yellow. Not 1 yellow 87 Convertible was ever known to be in existence. Here uou have the ONLY 1 in the World & it's not yellow SAD

Re: 87 camaro z28 convertible build

The paint code on the radiator support tag is 19. That is BLACK. I just looked it up on our paint mixing system. If that radiator support is original to the car....it is not a factory yellow car.
