Looks good for a project car. I wish I had an 88 or newer right now. I love the Z-28 style from the 80's and the 88 SC's and Rs's have it.

body work is simple,just sand it or grind it off,putsome rust stopper crap on it,bondo,smooth it and repaint it.

Can't tell about an exhaust that is better than flowmaster but headers and Y-pipe are a custom made deal. There is a guy on the board (CamaroHunter C) who makes them. You can order a set from him and have an exhaust shop make the Y-pipe.

CamaroStud....what kind of paint did you use for the interior pieces? And what about for the vents? I took mine out but they're so glossy that I didn't think paint would stick to them, and I'd rather not sand them... That looks AWESOME...

first get some primer and prime them, it makes everything sooo much easier, then spray on any color you want,i jsut sued some generic crap i got at home depot, then i sprayed clear over it all. i thinknext im gonna glass it all, its gonna b fun,all that bondo and paint, yipee.... but itll look good, so its ok

Did you prime only the glossy stuff, or all of the interior pieces?

BTW-you should do part of the dash.. Not all of it, that'd be too much yellow..but maybe the defogger inlay. I'm thinking about getting some chrome mesh and cutting a piece to fit and getting it in there.

i primed everything, im thinkinb about doing the speaker covers in yellow, im doing my headliner in yellow cloth and the read speaker covers in yellwo to, and i jsut made a fiberglass box for the back,its sweet, but i might glass my interior,if u dont know what that is,its where u cover the pieces in cloth,then put bondo over it,smooth it all,and paint it like u do a car,and its just like the outside of the car,its bad a$$
