Well guys... I wish the pics were better as the first pic from the doors back is light grey primer and the rest of the car is white and the white is in really bad shape with some of it worn down to the original primer. The color now is a PPG three stage paint that is basically candy apple red, but it doesn't show up that great in that pic since the pic is such low quality and the sun wasn't out when I took it.
Anyone know how to post better pics??

When I downsized the pics, they get really fuzzy... anyone know how to downsize them to fit here without getting the distortion? I thought you only got distorted pics when youmade them bigger.....

well if ur camera is any less then 3ish megapixel the pix are gonna be sh*t. Id suggest taking a camera pic(=to 5 megapixel) and scan it in.
I actually like the white. Maybe Its the picture quality like you said but I dont like the new paint.

Well, I am using a 2.0 megapixel camera and the pics look really good when they are full size, but when they shrink, they get bad. I use photomagic which came with my scanner to shrink the pics. Maybe I'll try to scan a pic taken with a regular camera.
Oh, and the paint looks diferent depending on the light as I guess candy paint does, even though in the pics it looks like a burgandy/brownish color.

I have never liked white to much and I think the paint job livens the car up quite a bit, whoever did it looks to have done a good job.

The IROC-Z decals are GM, but the stripes are phoenix graphics that I bought from someone on the classifieds (also had the phoenix iroc-z decals, but I already had the GM ones and the GM ones are one piece -each letter- and the phoenix ones are thin strips to make the letters). The eblems are all silver from a 91-92 Z-28 not the original three tone ones because I thought the silver would really stand out on the candy apple red. Thanks for the comments!!

I'm looking for either a 70-73 Z or maybe a 79-81Z,leaning towards the 70-73. I've been hanging out at NastyZ28.com for a couple years now. Now if I could find a sweet deal as you did!
ok..carry on..as you were..back on topic
