Your car looks great. What color blue did you use to paint your Camaro?

rockchalk

Its Luxo Blue (GM Color)....Acutally I sorta copied another member's color, but I liked it so much I could'nt help it.

Wow, that does look nice. I really like the dark blue.

How does she run with the LT1 swap?

rockchalk

It runs pretty well. It's carbed with a healthy cam and roller rockers. The block was taken 40 over and the heads ported etc.
Have'nt taken her to the track but she will get up and move. My dad has been building cars since his teens so he does all my carb work. He thinks it will go low 12s. I think more high 12s.

The car looks great. If you don't mind me asking how much did you shell out on it. I'm hoping to get mine painted soon and was seeing what the general price range would be.

that is a fine looking ride but i have one suggestion. just a small one. take the grill off and get some black krylon fusion paint - special for plastic, and make it look as good as the rest of the car.
i am definitely a blue camaro fan and yours is prime.

rockchalk

It was like $4500. I'll have to dig out the receipt for exact price. I also bought all new seals and had them put those on.

rockchalk

Ya only had it back a couple days. I was without it so long i've just been driving it

looks great and i love that hood!!! take that grill out and put a bowtie one in will look sooo much better then it already does.

I agree. The paint looks good but I would put on the bow tie grill and add the fog lites. Then it will look really good. Plus having the fogs is real nice option that you won't regret.

rockchalk

Ya I agree the bowtie grill and fog lights enhance the looks of the car. I'll probably just paint that one for now, but the bowtie and fog lights will come soon!

You can get the bow tie grill NEW for like $60. If you can't find an OEM set up for the fogs the parts store sells the Blazer lights for $20 and they look like OEM and work just fine.

rockchalk

Sweet, thx for the tip.

congrats on the paint job btw, I remember looking through the color chart and seeing luxo blue, and going for it, later finding out it was the color I loved on the c6 vettes too Definately a color I'll keep for years to come. The metallic/pearl shines nice in the sun doesn't it? I can't get over how deep it looks in the light!

Looks great! i agree, you should repaint the grill, it looks a little dull. and if possible try to get the gap between the hood and nose closed, other than that, its a real beauty.
