IT'S FINISHED! my camaro that is.

Got it done late last night and brought it home. The weather here has been crappy all day, so it isn't that clean and these pictures aren't that good, but I figured that some people might want to see it finally out of the body shop.











I'll try to get some better pictures when the weather improves.

From one 'vert owner to another - that car is nothing short of SHARP!! VERY SHARP!!

I love the green (reminds me of my ol' Camaro!) And I also very much like the tan top.

Great job man,

That's the original color for that thing. I think it's called medium green pearl metallic.

Heh, i guess you didn't check out my website. A lady ran a red light and did over $5800 worth of damage to it...i just got it back together.

And yes, it has been lowered. It was a set of Eibach Pro kit springs, but it didn't lower it enough, so I took the cold cut saw to them and took a full coil out of the front and a half coil in the rear. About the side molding, I hated it and I spent too many hours block sanding those body lines to cover them with that molding.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll try to get some better pictures when it quits raining.

nah, didn't read the webpage, but I do remember you saying all that. I guess I was warning you of yourself. I remembered yours and 90Z28SS (that right?) I just had forgot your name. Sorry.

The last time I saw the car, Approximately 3-4 months ago when we were lowering mine it loooked very good in there, almost like an LT1 belonged in there. Fred did a tremendous job of making that install look factory.

Oh my *** that's beautiful! Almost EXACT color as my car, in fact, I think it IS exact color as my car.
My 92 Z is Polo Green Metallic, a factory GM color for 1992... and it looks almost exactly like that...
I'll get my pics scanned and compare
The car looks AWESOME!
I was going to order the Pro Kit springs for my car in a week or two but I think I might go with the sportlines cuz i've heard from others it only lowers like 1/2 an inch or so...

Awesome car!
Garett
