Description:
Picked this 85' Z28 up for a donor for an S10 project and decided to fix her up. Now the front emblem has been shaved, side marker lights shaved, plastics hood vents trashed, hood modified to a working heat extractor hood with metal fins welded and smoothed. Sprayed with 2013 Chevrolet Silver with black metal flake added, overlaid with custom blended candy purple.

Finally the first layer of clear coat is on. Debated alot on going with a satin finish, but the gloss definitely brings out the silver sparkle under the candy. Also no more side marker light, beautifully shaved. Love the little differences that make a car stand out.
