To answer the original question, yes I've seen a 93-97 Camaro in HO.

As for your choice of color, I think you picked a winner!

I think it'll look great. Here's a pic I had saved of one in Lamborghini orange. Would look better if the headlight buckets and grill were both black.

My latest project is simular to yours. I have a 99 hugger orange v6 car that I am putting a ls1 into. I prefer the lt front but am going to stay with the newer style front thats on the car now. I do think a lt1 hugger orange camaro would be more original though.

I don't think 17x6 will look good at all in the front. That's even narrower than stock I believe. I'm fairly certain stock is 16 x 7 or 16 x 7.5. Don't do that, it'll look silly. Get 17x8 or something.

p.s. I'm dumb, I forgot about project pumpkin.




There were two project pumpkins if I remember right. The one with white wheels was a recreation.

Here's some other orange ones:

I know the owner of this car. It's Lambo orange color. He got it painted in Germany when he was stationed there. The color is definitely a show stopper.

There's a HO lt1 93-97 around here. Are you going to paint the door handles HO too? The door handles are black on this one and it doesn't look good to me.
