very kool!

What color are you planning painting it? Are you going to leave the Carbon exposed?

Awesome build BTW!

Thanks man. It will be painted a deep yellow with the z/28 stripes on the hood and trunk that will be left carbon. So far away it will look like black stripes untill you get up close.:thumbsup:

Great job on everything.
What are you going to do about the stripes on the upper deck panel?

I have thought about this and there is not too many options that will look good. I was thinking some type or airbrush work / vinyl or maybe just a dark grey/black paint on this area..I could get a custom cf piece made for this area and take the thickness of the cf off that area and have it put in..that would be the best option but the most coastly. Im curious as to others thoughts on this.:thumbsup:

Getting a sticker made would probably be the cheapest?

There are no good options IMO unless you take the time/$ and french in a piece of CF. There was a guy @ SEMA in 2011 w a Gen 5 Camaro that did grand sport stripes that way. Came out smokin hot!

Fake/Hydro CF next to the real deal is kinda lame. Unless you go the distance, maybe end the stripes on the decklid?

Love the license plate :thumbsup:

Thanks man.

So Timmy came over today being that the fenders where finished for now. I wanted to try to get over to the tuner soon to fix this check engine light that keeps coming up for the tps. Dale has to calibrate the parameters for the throttle body and that should fix the issue. I planned to drive the car over there and put some miles on the car too. Its about a half an hour from me so this would be the cars longest drive to date. So being that we blew the front end apart we reassembled it all again. The gaps and panels go together a bit easier now it seems or maybe I'm just getting good at it.. They have all been massaged in some way so I'm hoping that is the reason. The whole reason for this was to clean up the lines a bit and Timmy has came through again. It looks like it came from the factory like this. Actually when I showed some people they asked me what was done numerous times.. So I'm guessing the job looks good.

In the time I have been waiting for Timmy Ive been busy cleaning up some wiring, installed the parking brake set up, and I also finished installing the DSE wiper kit that I bought used for a good deal. Which went in awesome and works so much better that the stocker. Plus cleans it up a good bit too.

After all that I finished installing the new ididit steering column and getting that where I like it. Again a huge difference over stock, looks great and the adjustable was a must in my opinion. Next stop is back to the tuner for a quick fix and maybe even a colder weather tune... Well see..

Here is some pictures showing the stock position of the column and leg room or lack there of in 1st and 2nd..my right leg is touching the steering wheel

And now tilted all the way up. Hard to see but the steering wheel is no longer on my right leg when I'm on the gas pedal. I have about 2-3 inch of room between now. Same thing 1st and 2nd..

Car looks great! Well, it looks like the DSE wiper motor worked out good for you! We are going a different way on my 67 Camaro.

The post on the carbon fiber on the upper deck, well, back in the Pro-Street graphic artists used to use a decal and then painted clear coat over it. The decal can be made by a commercial lettering company. http://http://www.signaramacolumbus.com/ These companies use adobe illustrator now, and you could probably take a photo of your carbon fiber.
The other way is to get someone good with graphics and airbrush it.
