Still waiting on the Holden badges. Going to put them on the fenders where the Z28 used to go and leave the back RH side where the bowtie and Z28 used to be blank.

Here's the badges.

Yea, they went the extra mile on the body work and paint. 3 coats clear with full wetsanding\buff and glaze. Looks like a black mirror, I hate to drive it!

The stripes kinda look bronze in the photo, but in the sun turn bright orange, has some pearl in them. Pics really don't do it justice.
