Re: My 87 Z28 Project

damn looks great, u should strip your wheels and paint them black with car paint not spray. I think that would top it off.

Re: My 87 Z28 Project

Very nice man. I have been having a hell of a time deciding what shade of white to paint my car. Your car has made me glad i choose the stock color.

I think gunmetal wheels would look great!

Re: My 87 Z28 Project

My hatch does the same thing, and i think it has something to do with my electric pull down motor not working. I have to slam the hatch pretty hard to get it to grab. I think that if i replaced the pull down motor it would line up better.

It could also be that my hatch shocks are a little too strong, and it holds that side up more?

Both the were done by the PO. Once mine is painted, ill try to figure out why it does that.
