lol, yeah the stripe works, and looks really cool, chris brown originally rendered a 1st gen like that and vinny loved it.

Looks Great Jake, Vinny is going to love it!

thanks jim, yeah he will be in love

I like the stripe!

The paint sure looks nice. And done quickly.

Yeah, Jaek is extremely talented and totally professional. If you are looking to avoid "paint jail" and get quality work, Jake is your man. I figure we'll have the car home is a week or so and then we can sort it out in time for the XV Motorsports run.

The original rendering that I had Chris Brown do was a yellow car with a black stripe and RED wheels. Vin was over my house and saw the art hanging on the wall in my den and had to have it. We toned it down some. :lol:

gold black and red? ya i would say you toned it down. I will be honest steve when jake sent me the images of it taped off I didnt like but on the car I did like it....the stripe that is. I will hold my opinion on the wheels until i see it in person. :thumbsup:

Thanks Jake and Steve the car looks killer!!!!! I can't wait to drive it. I think I'm starting to have some second thoughts on the wheel color but I'm gonna stick with em for a while. :_paranoid

we could always take the centers out and paint them!!! lol
i can't wait to drive it myself.
will be fabing the 3 inch oval exhaust with oval x pipe tomorrow as well as wiring the 4l80e, and pcs computer. this thing should rock with 650hp, 4l80e and muscle drive tq convertor

Looks very nice :thumbsup:

car came out great man nice paint job, not sure about the wheels being the same color tho maybe like a gun metal?

Looking good.
Wasn't too sure about the color-coded wheels at first, but they're growing on me!!!:thumbsup:

Here are the latest pic's

Jake is moving right along! Looks great!

That car looks badass, it makes me forget that it is a Camaro. It looks more like a different breed of car unlike the thousands of Camaro's out there.

Thanks guys:D

Same color as my old '69 Camaro.. it's a very stunning color in the sunlight or under the lights of SEMA :thumbsup:

hey i called you and left a message, what were you out scoping car show hotties????:unibrow:

SEMA????

I meant his car will look stunning under the big lights.. I think my old '69 rarely ventures out of it's air conditioned garage.. lol

latest progress, finishing tranny computer install and will be driving tomorrow

Jake, got any pictures up and over the rear with the exhaust?

sure do, clears by say 1/2 when fully lowered not as if he could and or would drive it that low, mufflers isolated and tails hard mounted, got 1 to 1.5 inches off bags and the closest is the pipe to the outlet on the carb version of ricks gas tank, i got exhaust wrap just to make sure. you take stock style tailpipes, cut the vertical so you can clock the over the axle portion to go straight back towards fuel tank, then make a 90 towards outside of car, then another 90 to rear tail panel, basically almost identical to the ones i made to clear the quadralink, of course this works with stock style tubs and non notched frame, his axle is about resting on the frame when fully lowered and the tailpipes are like 1/4 off upper air bar brackets.
these pipes work with stock width fuel tank, you would need narrowed tank but same design would work for mini tub, you just would not go towards outside of car as far

Cool, we would enjoy some pictures. And maybe a parts list?
