What car is THAT? Is that the M3? I don't recognize the front bumper...but that car looks sick (not to take away from the pimp-tastic car in the works, of course!)

This MAY have been asked before, but how do you keep your garage clean (Besides constant maintenance) and what kind of ventilation system are you using? My buddy and I have been working on his car and the fumes in the garage get quite thick at times.

Keep us posted..

Very nice color choice. The car is going to look very mean when done. Then heres the next question - you keeping the wheels you have or will there be a new set of rolling stock?

Not sure if it will help you or not, but I've heard too that wetting the floor down keeps the dust immobile while you're painting. May or may not be easier to clean up. A wet broom works nice for helping to "scrub" the floor.. but whatever works for you.. Just seems like a royal pita to keep that place clean.

^ I've been wanting to try to replicate your cover for the front of the hood area. I like that idea a lot. Something to cover the wiring, washer reservoir and other misc crap. Clean it up, ya know? Your cowl cover is a great idea! I won't touch that one though..

Omg just went through the whole thing and this is amazing . Awesome work . Just awesome .

Everything looks awesome and just smooth .

I see two things that i think would make it look better , get rid of the aftermarket gfx and don't use that all metal steering wheel .

I think if you just used the factory ss body without the aftermarket gfx it would be awesome .

Why didn't that get wiped away by Katrina..

Nah man, I'm just kidding around. Not my style, but hey, that's why everyone's Camaro's and Firebird's are different.

I do, in fact, love that paint color. It actually tempts me to paint mine that color . I spent the last 25 minutes going through some of these pages and I must say nice progress. As long as you're proud of it that's all that matters. Makes me wish I had a garage.
