I'll try and get some picks up later today. I DO KNOW HOW TO POST THEM i've just been pre-occupied with other things. BTW Thanks Mike for painting the engine bay, it looks f*ckin sick. next is gonna be the interior.

So far I'm just looking for an electric water pump and an s60!!

Hahaha, we gotta sand out that one paint run though, although i guess the fuse box will cover it. Either way came out great for painting in a dark parking garage with no light

I went to Advanced Autoparts and got 2 cans of Duplicolor flat black primer, and 2 cans of Duplicolor flat black paint. I just went and looked at the engine bay again after it dried and it looks f*ckin badass!!

^^ i'm sending you a pm too

i was on the fence about which color to paint it and I figured this flat black would be alot easier to keep clean and it just set off the two tone look that I'm shooting for with the black and white accents.

Within the next couple weeks this car is being painted, Olympic White or Pure White whichever I can get my hands on. I'm going to do the underside of the lt1 ss spoiler black, with the emblempros black inserts on the berger panel. It should really set the car off nicely.

Yeah, that will look really good. I am keeping stock appearance with Pro Stars. No copy catting here! Sounds like you are picking up some good stuff. I just got my underdrive pulleys, Digital 6-AL, Strano springs, drag shocks, Aeromotive FPR, and a few other things.

YOU BETTER WHOOP MIKE'S ***!!!! LOL... let the games and trash talking begin!

No more paint jobs for Mountain Dew or China Buffet?? lol Guess Im just a nice guy. I want to finish Jasons car mainly because its what my Camaro would have been (has ALOT of my old parts on it) if I kept it a race car. Kinda curious to see what it will run. Im guessing somewhere in the 10s.

We still need to make those rear wheels/tires fit too! I gotta find where Nate put my BFH.

We're doin the bumper on Monday. I didn't realize until I just looked at it, it's an OEM replacement bumper primed black that I got for $110 shipped to my door!!

I'm getting some more paint tonight and this weekend and the color is gonna be Duplicolor's SUPER WHITE.

All that's gonna be left is the s60 and getting the motor picked up.
