Default Progress Pics on the Camaro.

Well this has been a long resto but she is starting to come along well. LE2 H/C, Newly rebuilt 355 bottomend. Just put the engine back in the engine bay after I painted the engine bay and hood. Spent HOURS just sanding and prepping the engine bay and hood. Original color was black. New color for the car is going to be 2005 Nissan Fun Yellow. Pics don't do the paint job justice. I am proud of the work my father and I did painting her.

I think they are the same color. My buddy has a 350Z that color and it definitely turns heads.

Yours would be the first yellow 4th Gen Camaro I've ever seen. Interested in seeing how it turns out. Engine bay looks great.
