just a optical illusion on the color

I agree Kenny and Marty. I've seen cars where the light hits the different contours of certain parts of the car and depending on the amount of pearl, metallic, etc that's in the paint, it refects differently in the light.

Here's a pic of some of the body mods done to the "Professor" Camaro. All the body mods were done on this car for function purposes. The engine cover is fully functional, bringing air in and louvered to let the air escape through the hood vents. The louver in the sail panel is a fully functional brake cooling system like used in Nascar. To reduce drag, the rear deck was raised, the front window was laid back, and the roof was lowered. Air for the front brake is brought in through the headlight. The car was built to be a fully functional car at high speeds.

Great Illustration. This rendering shows the "Degree of Difficulty" very well. There's alot of body resculpting done to this car to provide the fit,form and function that such a build requires.

I love this car so much that I am using the side vents and wheels for my build.

Correct-o-mondo!! I love this car. :hail: :hail: I can't wait to see the build pics. And to think after all of the fabwork done on ProfeSSor, guys were starting to think the owner skimped out with a cheapo paint job that didn't match. :rofl: :rofl:

Just saw it again at Omaha show, paint looks just fine to me, Trust me, Burman is not going to let something like that happen. One of the best cars at our indoor show this year it should clean house :thumbsup:

Saw the car at a show just recently. The paint was spot on. There is no evidence of color match or blotching over the whole car. To judge a cars paint on a picture off a camera is not right. The car was finished nicely and very well done!

Tracy, You need to come to more shows. You were right. The Professor rec'd best Pro Touring, Best Custom, CASI Cup, and the Mid-America Gold Cup. The paint must be right, Burman hasn't lost his eyesight yet.

Karen, I wish I could get out to more shows, Shop keeps me busy, I will hit more this summer than last year, You guys got all the big awards and cleaned house, Great job.. Rogers still got it thats for sure. Post up some more of the bare metal pics if you can. The Casi cup is a great award to get at this show

Cams-DK 12-23-2012 05:31 PM

Just a few words regarding the issues discussed earlier on this thread- the car won the 2012 Good Guys Muscle Machine of the Year; Mid-American Gold Cup; Best Pro-Touring and Best Custom at numerous Autorama shows along with winning the CASI Cup award twice. The latest award it received was the Mother's Shine Award at SEMA- awarded by international judges including experts in design, engineering, paint, metal fab, etc

This car is amazing. Did you mention earlier in the thread about posting more info on the build?

Congrats on all of the awards. :thumbsup:

Now drive the heck out of it! If it can talk the talk, let's see it will walk the walk.

Watched the "Professor" participate at various Autocross events last summer. 44.407 second lap at the Kansas City Goodguys event was its best run. That's quite good considering it is a fresh build and there hasn't been much time with test and tune.

Beautiful car... got pics of it at SEMA! Congrats on all the awards!
