Wooo shaved. Way to go man! I love the look of the shaved emblem on the nose.

Car looks great. I have a question tho, why did you chose to keep the antenna?

creepingdeath

Wow.. thats nice, very good body work. I would personnely get rid of the 3rd brake light though i think it throughs off the smoothness of the car. I want that wing

Looks great! Now all you need is some new tires! What did they fill in the nose emblem with?

thanx... i listen to the radio, where do i get a smaller antenna?

...fiberglass and bondo on the nose.

'86 Camaro BoSs

idk if they still have it, but in my (2005) book of classic industries they have an antanna that goes on the inside of the fender.. idk how well it works, and idk the price.. i could go look here in a bit.. that's just 1 idea i guess.. also hawks has shorter ones too

I also kepy my antenna when I got m car panted, wish I wouldnt have even though I listen to the radio. The car looks great!

You can relocate the antenna inside of the car. Either the dash or the windshield.

Nice looking ride!!!

Thanks for the info... i'll check out hawks for a short little antenna, thats what I had in mind when I was getting it painted. The original long one is bent at the top ( I shut it in the door when it was off the car by accident)

Your car looks great! My 85 Z is in the body shop right now getting, like yours, shaved handles, black paint, 5" wing, but i shaved the antenna hole as well and added an ss hood. Seeing the pics of your car makes me sure I'm doing the right thing! Nice job!

Bustionironi

iTrader: (2)

Thanks! I was looking at an SS hood for $300 bucks pickup but the guy didn't message me back until it was too late. The wing was a total pain in the *** to make fit right and get straight, It took many hours but was well worth it in the end. I found a 8" antenna from hawks for $25 i'm gonna get that soon. Good luck with yours

Looks great man, I like everything except the blackout and the third brake light.

Not a big fan or shaving things, but looks good if thats our show car.

The antenna I have came on the car. I think one of the previous owners put it on. Only thing even remotely aftermarket when I bought the car!

Yeah that person in the BMW knows which car is better.

oops Bustionironi! I meant the guy in the Honda accord. Cars these days are looking so similar.

Too much black, i think it would look better if you broke it up with some other color. Maybe install the IROC stripes or even some mild graphics. To me, it just looks like a car painted on a budget. It is beautifully done though, just missing some accessories.

Tobias05

sexy! love black 3rd gens.

Bustionironi

iTrader: (2)

It was done on a budget... I am looking at some of the mirror finished Z28 embelms for the rocker panels and rear bumper, clear side markers and a 8" antenna. I am trying to keep it simple and clean.

Dude...awesome looking camaro-I am a closet case with that spoiler(I LOVE IT...but too afraid to put it on mine ) The shaved handles make that car look smooth(....does that make sense??)
BOTTOM LINE__AWESOME JOB!!!

The Project

iTrader: (6)

Yery nice job....big fan of shaved handles.

Looks good

mean83z

very nice car, looks sinister sick

avro206

Looks nice--treat that black well...very unforgiving colour.

And you need a new grill---I see they painted right over "Camaro"

Bustionironi

iTrader: (2)

I don't like that white "camaro" in the grill. I think it sticks out like a soar thumb.

joshh44

very nice paint job!
how much did it cost you to get it done???
i have a black camaro and i would like to get it painted. that looks super nice.

rocluvr0013

I think that works for this car.

joshh44

i think a billet chrome grille would look pretty good. with the extended long spoiler in the back. it will give the front a really good look insted of having just the rear end will all the good looks. gotta have some up front to :P

A freind did the paint and body work for me. There was a dent by the gas cap. A long scrape and dent on the passenger side door. A little dent and scrape on the passenger rear quarter panel. The frame where the bumper attaches in the front was twisted a little (I ran into some one @ about 3 mph). The spoiler needed a lot of work to make it fit right also. All together i paid $1500. $400 or so for the paint, $200 for the spoiler, $150 for the shaved door handle kit and the rest for the labor. I am thinking of two little polished aluminum honey comb grill inserts for the front. I'll post some pics when I get that done. Oh yeah the paint is from NAPA (5 year warranty)

It looks awesome man. What type of door popper did you use? I'm not a fan of the spoiler, , but it looks awesome.

Bustionironi

iTrader: (2)

The 45 lb. solenoid set from summitracing. I had them tack welded in so they don't fall out.

NobleHdwe

Do they work really well? This might be a mod I look at when I get to the paint/body part of my car.

Bustionironi

iTrader: (2)

Yes they work. Just make sure you install them properly.

The car really looks nice!!! I really like your wheel choice... looks classy. I think that you should smoke the side marker lights to continue with your blacked out theme. Check out mine in my CarDomain... You will see what I mean.

imaking

iTrader: (2)

where did you get that spoiler for $200?!?!

Bustionironi

iTrader: (2)

Thanx. Those smoked side markers do look nice... Or maybe its just your whole car that looks good. I wish I new how to do interior like that! I also been thinking about the smoked headlight covers as well but would that be too much?

I got that spoiler from a member here on tgo. Project car that he ended up parting out...

imaking

iTrader: (2)

dang, I wish I could find someone getting rid of one of those. $300 plus unkown shipping from hawks is a little rough, but time is running out on trying to find one elsewhere
