Default Fresh paint job on '96 Z ***Pics Inside***

K guys, i'll do a photoshoot when i get the car completly done but wanted to post pictures of the fresh paint. It's on the trailer because it's getting trailored to the shop to get the clutch, slave and master, and u joints put in. I'm not home or i'd drive it myself but to the shop. i'm out on business. I'm gonna be adding a red bowtie to the front bumper and the red bowtie on the center caps is getting changed to chrome or silver. Red just doesn't flow well there i think. also when i did this i removed the front plate, side moldings, and stock Z28 badges. It's getting '70-'72 style Z28 badges going on it when i get back. Ok on to the photo's





Tell me what ya guys think. It's also got a SS spoiler going on when i get home off business to. Then it's coming out for spring

i knew somebody was gonna say to lower it i LOVE my longtubes and don't wanna wreck them i'd be sad without the extra grunt they add) The 35th's were actually the standard SS rims but i had them sent to San Diego to a guy from this board and he refinished them and instead of machined faces he POLISHED them with a Matte black powdercoating on the insides. Did and AWESOME job. Thanks for the compliments guys. She's gonna get whored up when i get it totally done which should be by May~Cole~

my dad did it he does body work and fixes repairables. he painted it for $800 but that included the materials. He did an AWESOME job. the only thing not repainted was the sail panel and that's because it was in perfect shape. I replaced the front and rear bumpers as both had cracks and spidering in them, and the drivers front fender and hood. Got a grocery list of stuff going in when i get back from work

makes sence, i don't plan on lowering mine either. For when i do get LT's and because i go over a LOT of speed bumps and theres nothing i can do about it.

Your car just looks like a 4x4 because of those wheels.. to me atleast. It might be just because its on a trailer.
