Default New Project/Build...

Well over the weekend I finally picked up a car over the weekend that I have been looking at for almost 3 months. It is a 2000 Z28. The car was wrecked back in 2000/2001 when it was still like new. It has been fixed, and my project is to put it back together and get it running well and put some paint on it. Also have a P1SC Procharger that I have been piecing together that will be going on it as well. The kicker? The car only has 5400 miles on it.......

Pics tomorrow!

Hot damn. That is a showroom interior. Can you take a pic of the underside, I'm curious as to how clean a low mileage car looks down there.

Personally I would go with SOM, Jet Stream Blue, Bermuda Blue, or Indigo Blue

Since you're gonna paint it, or specifically have to paint it, Go with a color that you will really like and/or is a somewhat rare color for our cars. SOM and NBM are both great. Maybe something totally custom too.

If you do SOM, maybe try a different shade thats just a little unique and custom. Other then that looks like the car will clean up very nice.

I am partial to SOM and I like your idea of a different shade of it. My dad has a 69 Camaro that is Blue so I will probably stay away from it. Right now I am just trying to get the car to run better, as it has sat for the last 10 years, need to work the old gas out of it and freshen it up. Need to get the stock exhaust system off and get some headers under there..
