I'm looking to do the same thing, in either white or semi gloss black. After looked into POR15, and being so expensive, I was going to use regular Rust Oleum roll/brush on paint instead of spray. The plan was to do the whole undercarriage and rear end housing.

you just have to remove the factory black plastic grill, and that's what is underneath. It'll be body-colored on any car.
^what he said. I've seen pics here and there of certain aspects of your car, like the engine bay and undercarriage, and your sig of course, but I've never seen all of the goodness that has gone into the build. Very, very nice ride!

WOW. I saw the first pics and thought, oh I remember this car when he was doing AI 243 heads and getting great numbers. Then I saw the 427 and said yeah buddy! Then i saw the crash and went oh noooo. Then came the rebuild to perfection.
I can't even imagine how much work and man hours were spent going from the first pic to the last. But the end result is amazing.
What are the offsets on the rears of the 18s? I'm guessing the rear is narrowed 1-2"?

I will try to get some more. Might be a little while the car is down getting a new fuel pump setup and wiring in some new stuff.

1) Thanks for your service to our country.
2) The black Camaro had my favorite engine bay, sad to see it gone.
3) Awesome build. That is one hell of a combo that turned out very impressive. Congrats!!

Thank you! I miss the black car but the silver more than makes up for it!
