Well guys the majority of the car is done. All that's left is what you see that needs to be sprayed, put back together, final wet sanding and buffing. the front bumper cover still needs to be cut into and the black gloss applied, where it was on the previous bumper.

Nice job on a really nice car. I believe in the long run those Camaros will be classics. Body kit really suits that year of Camaro, and the engine sounds great. Now it looks pristine, just the way it should be. Congrats.

Great news everyone, all the parts have been officially painted and are ready to be put back on the car. Also got most of the new window and door molding in today. To my surprise on how over cast it was today, one photo i took still shows my reflection. so here are the photos from today, I was not able to get photos of the hood, seeing that it was in the paint booth drying.

Got some caliper covers for the Z. Here are some before and after photos I took of the rear calipers. I still have have to put the fronts on. Now that I think about it I should have gotten the ones that have "camaro" engraved into them. Oh well I guess the SS will get that.

All your vids are of it stopping. How about some of it going?

A testament to how shitty SLP's paint was they used. My hood, same color, looks almost the same.

Had my msd opti spark take a crap on me so this is what I went with. The torquehead 24x conversion kit. It's not for the faint of heart in price but this 396 should preform awesome. The photos were taken from the shop doing the swap. And the one photo taken from torquehead website. I want to thank tune time performance for the work they are doing.
