HotRod98z: is that a fast intake with that intake plate? ive been wanting one but didnt know if it would fit my Fast 92

 

No it's a ls6 intake. Check out this thread there are a few fast's in it with the intake plaque.

Coming along great! When are you shooting to be done with everything?

 

Damn, you do good work man. Inspires me to quit being lazy and pick up new crafts as well. Love the garage btw.

 

Car is still coming along nicely. Was the intake plate custom or is there a link on their site? I looked around on there and didn't see anything.

 

Haha, this damn thing will never be done I'm hoping to have all the body panels painted and back on the car by the first of Feb. my plan is to take the car down to the classic chevy winter nationals show in Orlando.

I believe i was the first one to get the onyx plate but he has them up on the site now.

Burnin the midnight oil and gittin er done

 

Thanks for this tip. I hadn't tried that, and now I know what to do about the rear glass.

 

Well finally got this thing color sanded and buffed out today. Here's some more pics of how it started



Had a run that needed to be sanded out as well

Getting started with some 1500 on the durablock

Now finishing up with 2000

And a few final passes with 3000, getting ready for compound

And were back to being shiny again





You can see hear how much crisper and cleaner the overhead light looks in the spoiler vs. the deck lid and rear quarter. To my knowledge it's still the factory paint, i haven't found any evidence that the car has been reapinted before.

Here's a few pics of the led light, it looks much better then the pics i took last night


There's still some peel in a few spots and ecspecially around the edges, i wasn't going to go near the edges and risk burning through the clear. The spoiler is on the right

There's still a few problem areas, the other night when we painted it was fairly warm and the damn bugs were out in full force. There were a bunch of little bastards flying around in the garage and a couple landed in the clear, so there's a couple small dimples from them. Also i would say i got around 90% of the run out but you can still see it a bit from certain angles. I might work on it some more i don't know i was just a little nervous about going to much and burning through the clear. All in all it turned out pretty good for still not really knowing what the hell i'm doing, haha.
Also picked up some suede fabric that is a pretty close match to my seats. I'm gonna be redoing the door panels and the shifter boot and center console lid, well actually i had to call in some reinforcement for those tasks............................................. ...........Mom and Grandma

 

Great work! This project is good motivation for me!

 

Is that a necrophagist sweatshirt?


Car looks awesome. Any plans for headlights and tails?

 

Damn good i man, yes it is. I take it you listen to death metal The stock headlights were already whistlered but the lens's have seen better days so i may get some depo's. I put a light coat of vht on the tails and clear. These damn stock tails both have that dimple in the lens from heat so i might see if i can find another pair of those as well.

These are older pics from when i was messing with that stuff

 

Now that's what I'm talkin about. Tell me more about the Durablock. Are they the cut-to-length strips of paper that stick right on the block?

 

Awesome job!!!

 

Yeah i just bought the kit at my local paint and body supply store it came with 6 different size blocks and bought the 3m paper that comes in the roll. It has the sticky side on the back and you just cut the paper to fit your block.

 

Thanks Steve, don't know if you remember me but i used to have that red h/c Z28 with the ground effects. I lived over in Brevard

 

Sweet!!! How you been??? I thought the reflection looked familiar. Does your dad still have his???

 

I love every update on this thread! Progress is great, car looks awesome.

 

What's up Steve? You still have the white SS?

Scott, I very impressed with the task you've taken on with the paint. I wouldn't know where to even begin. It really looks nice in the pics.

 

great work cant wait to see when its done...amazing color
