Just a couple of cool pics I took before taking her off the street..
 

Stopped on the way home a few days ago and snapped some pics before taking the motor out.. gonna be a LONG 3-4 months while the work is done but she will be a new woman in the end.. Jerked around with them in photoshop to make the car "pop" more.. I need to learn how to do the fancy photochop stuff..

My new wallpapers :D

Just bought a new 8mp Canon 20D camera and $2500 in lenses for work.. :eek: .. They didn't warn me about this expense in the job interview.. ;)

:unibrow:
She's purty!
under his breath...I still liked the 69 better ;)

That car is so bad ass.... love the pics, Steve. :hail:

beautiful ride man..........wowza

Can you more these to my little pic section and use one for the lead pic?

Thanks!

Regardless of what else you do to it, the frontend looks so much better with a factory spoiler than it did with the other one. :thumbsup:
You need to junk them cheap wheels though. :D

Nice pictures of your car Steve.

I like these 2 pics because they truly show how beautiful that paint is in the sun. We have been planning pearl orange for our mustang for about a year and these pics helped inspire us. The pics above make his car look like a tomato color. These show the true color.

Very nice Steve.

Great looking car Steve, what colour is it?? :thumbsup:

Thanks for the new wallpaper. :thumbsup:

There are other SOM Camaros out there, but I think what sets this one apart is the black wheels and stance. It truly gives it a sinister feel.

Mike

She is NOT Sunset Orange Metallic.. SOM.. She is painted 2002 Prowler Orange (Plymouth OEM color).. :)

The color pops pretty good in those pics. :thumbsup:

Cool, do you have a paint code number for it? The car I've got in the 'shop at the moment was going to be a similar sort of colour, I'm sure the owner would Luuuuurve that one :)

I have it at home.. it is like XYV or something.. Will post tonight :)

As stated it is an OEM color so it should be easy.

Excuse me! :willy: I call them all that I see out of habit. It does have more pop in the pearl than SOM which I like. Either way I also have new wallpaper. Thanks! :thumbsup:

Mike

Thanks steve, it might be easy for you guys in the US but it confuses the crap outta them when asking for American colours here in Britain. :thumbsup:

Steve,


What are the plans for penny? Just motor and trans for now? :cool:

Nope.. first off will be a new subframe.. then the motor and trans.

The four-link will just get "un prostreeted" by relocating the PHR and swapping out the shocks/springs.

Not much done to the interior except a few new guages to go with the LS2.. the cassis is damn stiff already..

Only outside changes will be a lower hood and diff offset for front wheels. I was thinking of smoked silver stripes of some sort but the jury is out on that one.

Oh, new stainless fuel cell to fit in the cubby no occupied by the JEGS plastic foam cell..

Same rearend.. same gears.. Oh, and that RATO system, but that is another story.. lol

NO STRIPES!!!!!!

Mike

Sweet plans!!!! Are you gonna use a WD sub-frame? If you don't me asking, unless it's top secret :unibrow:

Looks like the unit from 21st Century.. C5 stuff.. then I am going to beat and test the crap out of it..

That is one thing that drew me tword them.. Ed was really excited about testing the finished product and the fact that I want to track the car and run in events like the Pony Express..

That make points in my bood!

I'm with Mike...
No stripes.
Looks great as it is.

Tom,

That last picture just made a BAD A$$ car even BADDER A$$.

Mike

Hey Tom.. can you go to my website and do that to the two wallpapers there then email me the files?

They are under 68 Camaro then PICS then EXTERIOR..

Thanks! those will be MY new wallpapers! :)

Nice work Tom. That looks way cool!

I think the car is just right as it is. Why buy a completed badass custom ride like that and then tear it all apart? You could do that with something that NEEDS rebuilding.

Why? Because I can.. lol..

I guess you would have to drive the car to understand.. 5mpg and bad handling gets old.. it's a drag car with pro-touring dance shoes on.. Time to make it handle on par with it's look..

Besides, I'm not changing (ie. rebuilding) the car.. the paint and interior are staying basicly the same. The wheels are staying (new front offset to take care of the scrub issue) and a few tweeks to the 4-link.

I like screwing with cars to fit exactly how I want them.. I also didn't want to be in paint jail for 6+ months so I got a car with pristine body and paint that I love.. not to mention a killer cage and a 90% done four-link.. toss in the bitchen Dana 60 and you have a car most of the way there, now I can take it the rest of the way.

If I had wanted to buy a bad ass car and just leave it alone I would have gotten a new C6 Z06.. ;)

Hi Steve, did you manage to find the paint code? thanks. :)

I can't find my spray can with the damn code on it.. am going to look this weekend..

I did find the small touch-up bottle the part number 04889623AA on it.. it is a chrysler/dodge part so maybe that will help. If I find the spray can (that actually has the paint code on it) i will post it or PM it to you..

Thanks for that, greatly appreciated, no rush as yet as I've a "shed load" of work to do to it before it's ready for paint, so don't bust a gut trying to find it

translationfor our American cousins :- shed load = a lot lol :thumbsup:

You sure you ain't from around here?!? That sounds like somthing that came from the South!
