I will be posting in this thread all the modifications I make to my Camaro I picked up last Saturday. My plans are to build another car this season to showcase my products.

I'm starting with a stock 2001 SS Camaro... This is the first Camaro I've had that's been able to pass smog with flying colors

Here's some pictures from the day I picked it up:

Today I reconditioned the stock head lights and ground the three plastic casting tabs flat. I wet sand them from grits 220 > 400 > 600 > 800 > 1000 > 1500 > 2000. Then I used Novus #3 Heavy Scratch Remover followed by Novus #2 Fine Scratch Remover. It took a couple hours and I hope to never do it again, lol.

Wow


Hell of a difference on those headlights. Nice work!

 

holly crapioca! i think your gunna have to do it again on my headlights! lol

nice work! and really nice car!

 

looks good! nothing like going from polar opposites. first a black ss, and now a white one! im sure there will be a lot less headache keeping this one looking good in fact i might be making an order from you here soon steve...we'll be in touch

 

Can't wait to see the final product Steve! I'm sure it'll look awesome!

 

black n now white...u now have my two favorite (non) colors for the fbod, jealous.

 

I love the white, kinda partial to it seeing it was my first color fbody...nice work on the lights, they look brand new! Cant wait to see what you do to the car after seeing the great job you did on the black one.

 

How much will it cost for you to do them again, mine are already boxed up and ready to send to you...DAMNNN nice work

 

I have never seen someone actually get rid of the tabs as well, looks way better, did you just file them down before sanding them?

 

seriously how much would you charge to do that to mine, ill send them that way! ill be watching this thread as well, interested in how this comes out!

 

And so it begins! Good luck!

 

Thanks everyone.

$1,000

I sand them down with a belt sander, then got them smooth and even w/ 220 grit by hand.

 

**** man that things gonna look awesom! love the headlights btw, good idea on moving the stupid tabs!

 

Those headlights look amazing, great job, and good luck on the Camaro.

 

As always Steve- Nice work!!! Love the new car too! White was def a good choice!

 

oh gotcha, so what kind of stripes are you looking into getting? paint or vinyl? Anything custom, or just solid 35th LE stripes (like mine)?

 

I'm thinking Berger style in black... But I'll probably do something custom with them

 

Those headlights look brand new now!!!! Good job!

 

nice, those tab's i was told a while back where for a tool that mounts onto the three nipples and is used to adjust the lights position, but no one ever adjust them anymore these days
