Default New Pics on a NICE NW Day...

Here are some new full car shots of my car outside finally for the first time this year. It is still not road worthy yet, but looking more like a complete car...

Thanks guys, I really hate taking pics of my car and showing them because I can never get a picture to give the green any justice. It looks WAY better in person, I guess I just need to learn how to take better pictures!!!

I cant tell with the headlights, are the "covers" not on there, or are they meant to be like that?

The headlights still aren't done. I have to do some fiberglassing and make the housing for the lights, they will look similar to the new C6 headlights (painted the same color as the car and have a clear lexan cover over them).

I considered doing this, but then I started the headlights and they are turning out to look really sweet. I found it to be more of a challenge to make the LT1 front end look updated and custom than converting to the LS1, which obviously would have looked good but very ordinary.

I was going to suggest this very thing! It's coming together nicely. A lot of nice details in it that flow seamlessly into the car - very well done!

Once the headlights are finished that thing'll be awesome. The ONLY thing i have to nit pick at is the tail lights... good idea to mix 'em in with the theme of the car but kinda makes it look like a reptile. Anyway, sick car man

If you need any info on making the headlights let me know. I have a bunch of info on materials, what glues to use that won't outgas when heated, films to prevent scratches and rock damage, etc...

I know your using the Hella's which are already sealed and vented and so forth, but what were you planning for the housing? Are you going to seal them up to keep out moisture and dust or just make a cover to go over the open area?
