Default Washed the car...pics and vid
It has been cold and windy here in mid Missouri but I couldn't take the camaro being dirty anymore. I only get it out of the garage in nice weather but I made an exception today. I didn't clean it as well as I would have liked to but I did get most of the dust and dirt off. Tell me what you think of the car. BTW bad pics sorry
(it is a true ss but the original hood had some issues so I put on a spare Z-28 hood)





The vid. (sorry about the quality)

I don't think so but I have been pulled over three times (for BS) with it behind there and no ticket.

What hood do you think I should get? I really want something different than my Z-28 hood. I was thinking about factory SS hood or a 3" SS hood. What do you guys think? I am leaning towards the 3" ss:

LOL!

Do you know if there is a Missouri meet for f-bodys? I think it would be cool to get people from all over the state to meet up sometime.

Black looks great when it's clean. I see the spoiler, rims, and decals, but what happened to your stock SS hood? Or is this a wanna-be SS?

looks pretty good, I would ditch the chrome in the instrument panel though, and put the ss badge were it belongs.
