First off guys I'm not hating. Just asking questions. If I had the time and money to do that I would. Yeah I did a **** ton of stuff to my car and at the end of the day it makes me happy now that its done. So I'm guessing it makes you guys happy. If you have 4 other camaros(that orange one is badass) thats sweet also. Can you post up some pictures?? Seeing has it was a total it makes more sense to do what you guys did. So does it have a salvage title since it was a total? I'm giving you guys mad props on that car. Top notch work and parts makes a Top notch car. Great job again

Excellent choice ...eric is >>awesome<< to deal with

Your SS is stunning , I dont like the headlights though . The attention to detail is amazing . Its the perfect shade of yellow for a 98+ style camaro and the white houndstooth really sets it all off .

Cant wait to see when its done .

...psssh , you oughta see their equally amazing 3rd gen Its a bit more involved .

You like what ya like . Im in the process of a similar build with my 94 Z and its the only car I wanna build . Ya get a vision in your mind of what ya want , then set out to accomplish it , regardless of vehicle age .

Thanks again. It has a good title no salvage title here. I didn't think you were hating. You just came across as if 4th gen's weren't even worth modifing cause you aren't going to get you money back which you never do on most cars etc... You have a nice ride youself I watched you build it!

Tell Tim I'm still here to assist with the wheels. I know he wanted Fikse wheels, but I have some better ones now since they are out of biz.

Also, keep me posted on when it gets completed, I'd like to shoot it for a magazine.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the SS emblem appears to be one off of a 1st gen, and I believe that for some reason 1st gen SS camaros had the emblem upside down from the factory.

Yes it is off a 1st gen camaro. But they are symmetrical and for those die hard they are upside down fans the pictures are with the emblems both ways LOL! So all those people that said that, just didn't really understand that we have had tried them both ways and measured and compared etc... Thanks again for the complements guys.
