Re: My Camaro Before Crash, After Crash, and In the Body Shop

Here are more pics of it after wet sanding was almost finished.
And the car is on the ground, too.

Thanks, man.
I cannot wait to see the frickin' color in the sun! They are painting the headlight cutouts flat black, like they were originally. That will look nice.
Grrrrr.
I am tired of waiting.
At least it is finally painted.

They haven't told me when they'll be done.
They're that way, ya know.
I would guess no longer than Friday.
The hood still isn't painted....at least, it wasn't painted last night when I was there.

Re: My Camaro Before Crash, After Crash, and In the Body Shop
Nice. Almost the same color i'm painting mine. It needs the irocz graphics though. And think about changing the wheels to the gold style like mine. would look better with the darker color. That's why i'm planning on painting mine crimson pearl is it will contrast better with the gold. Glad you got it back. Be carefull. wouldn't want to have to wait for another 2 months for it. Really is good looking.

Re: My Camaro Before Crash, After Crash, and In the Body Shop
Thanks!
I waited way longer than 2 months.
Yeah, I plan to get aftermarket wheels one day.
I also plan to put the Z28 emblems on it, but I am not sure about the IROC Z decals yet.
I just installed my stereo system today, and I am getting a new factory steering wheel.

Re: My Camaro Before Crash, After Crash, and In the Body Shop
What a gorgeous car! Good job. I've not seen, until now, a metallic red on a third gen that looked better than the original Dark Red Metallic/Flame Red Metallic. Awesome! I read the thread's in's and out's as well. We need more success stories like this here

Re: My Camaro Before Crash, After Crash, and In the Body Shop
Sorry to get off subject, your car looks great, hope mine looks that good when i get around to finishing up the paint. some times it takes an accident to get them looking good.

Re: My Camaro Before Crash, After Crash, and In the Body Shop
I'm back on the forums again. I am IROCless, at the moment, but I am working on buying this nice 86 I found. It's in nice shape. Too bad it has the 305 in it, but it will do, until I do my swap.
