A Custom 1992 Camaro Z28

The car is medium quasar blue metallic with two (2) silver glossy racing stripes going from the bumper, over rear wing, roof, over ASCD IROC Daytona fiberglass hood, front, and down front spoiler.

The car is powered by a 5.7 Liter V8, 350 TPI. The car is an automatic with Custom Blue/Silver Leather Upholstered Seats (Front & Rear) w/ custom embroidery.

The car rides on P275/40/R17 Hankook V-Groove tires with Highly Polished Torque Thrust ][ 17x8 Rims.

I had my car duplicated in 1:18th scale diecast.



Matching blue/silver re-upholstered front and rear seats with "Z28 25th Anniversary" digitized embroidery on front seat backs as matching the dash on front of the passenger dashboard.




A band in Nova Scotia seen the car and asked if they could put the car on the front cover of their cd. I was so honored! I natually said yes! :-)


I had a custom jacket made with my car digitized embroidered on the front and back which ended up costing me $1000


Back


On the front of the jacket are two (2) embroideries. The first one is a 2.5" X 1" embroidered "Z28" text in metallic type blue with metallic type light grey/silver outlining (Like the blue/silver stripes on actual Camaro). This embroidery consists of over 4,300 stitches.

The second is our Digitized Camaro. It is a smaller representation of the larger Digitized Camaro that is on the back of the jacket. This smaller front embroidery is a full color 4.5" X 2" and consists of over 13,300 stitches.


On the back of the jacket are another two (2) embroideries. The first one is a 10" X 1.5" embroidered "CAMAROSOURCE.CA" in metallic type blue threading. This embroidery consists of over 7,200 stitches.

BTW: It's perfectly STRAIGHT, not the best of pictures :-)

The second is our Digitized Camaro. It is the large Digitized Camaro that was used for the smaller one on the front of the jacket. This Larger back embroidery is a full color 10.5" X 4" and MASSIVE number of stitches. This little number has 60,000 stitches! It is a very detailed representation of the our actual Camaro and even has the "CAMAROSOURCE.CA" windshield decal on it's windshield like on the actual car, right down to the silver "Z28" on the bottom of the side Ground FX.


10 1/2" metal Diecast replica made especially for myself. I take it to the local car shows. :-)

I had my car duplicated in 1:18th scale diecast metal complete with opening hood, opening doors, working wheels, turning steering, Blue (w/ metal flake) with silver racing stripes (approx 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear), blue and silver interior front and rear seats, carpeting, headlining, custom pedals, instrument panel, steering wheel, ground effects, rear wing, fog lights, IROC Daytona hood, and much more..





Matching blue/silver interior with the "25th anniversary edition" on the front seats :-)


Down to the black/silver pedals :-)


Carpeting


Mirrors and door paneling plus door carpeting


Replica Torque Thrust ][ rims


And headliner :
WOW I'm at a lost for words your car is beautiful that hood is killer and the 1:18 scale how does that work I wanna have one of the camaro made

Wow, that is absolutly beautiful.

Here's mine:



I have some newer pictures I'll post up once I get on my laptop. It doesn't look like this any more though, I took the hood bra off since it was ruining my paint and now there's a hole in my front bumper from the hitch of a Yukon. I won't post a picture of that though.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, 3rdgens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I love 3rd gens!!! WHOOOOO!

Wish I had one!

And if I did, I'd do something like this to it-

Exterior =bright orange with 2 thick black stripes going from lip to lip.
Very light orange tinting on all windows enough to showcase the black stripes going over windows. Stock rims that have been painted a darker orange. Nice set of rubber. Custom hood( hehe).

Engine= If I knew what to do, I'd tell you. (I'm still learning how a car works, so bear with me.)

Interior=Not much at all. Just really changing the gauges and making everything move/feel better.

Here's a newer picture. After I get my car fixed I hope I can go to go back to this place and take some new pictures because I really liked the picture I got from here. I'll be getting a whole new front end pretty much, including new parking lights and hopefully I can get my hands on some OEM fog lights, but if not I'm going to find another way to mount the ones I have to they're centered in the grill. As for paint, I want to get a metallic red if the metallic paint doesn't cost to much extra.

There's a used car lot selling a Red 3rd Gen for just under $3K. If I had the money, I'd buy it.

How much did those of you with 3rd Gens pay for yours?

500 to the wheels on 10 PSI and a hot *** motor @ 250 degrees and IAT @ 140. I am about to build a new 383 and go to a 80mm Innovative turbo.
