Well stay tuned, dropped the Camaro off today at my buddys house to get the front clip and SS spoiler/rear taillight panel painted. Had to drive it over in a bad thunderstorm too! It was still nice to drive it after sitting for 4 months.

I think the LT1 front end looked aggessive esp the way I had it set up, but the LS1 front end looks more modern and classier I guess you want to say. Kinda fits the theme of the car since converting it from a drag car into a street car.

Pics as promised...Chicago area people will understand the poor quality of these pics, heavy wind and rain today so I waited for the rain to reduce to a drizzle and washed the car in the rain and snapped a couple pics...Just got the car home late last night.
After a quick wash in the rain...

This is my computers wallpaper pic...note the "LTx Shootout" decal on the rear window...Lets the Mustang guys know they just got beat by an LT1!

OH YEAH!!! Sexy! Still undecided about a grill and whether to get clear turn signal lenses or tint the orange ones...

Headlights just resting in there for the pics, Whister mod is done but want to repolish the lens. Also either need to raise the back up or drop the front more.

Side view...Still undecided what to do for fender emblems or I do have the silver hockey stripe kit in the garage...

Picture of the new SS wing and taillight panel painted. Still need to fill the old Dick Harroll spoiler holes. Gonna plug them up and come spring, weld the holes shut and repaint the 1/4 panels.

My friend works for a decal shop which they have the exact copys GM has. I guess GM had these in production or was planning on using them, because they were on file and are exact replica of them in silver. They are still in the box.
