Beautiful car, nice parts in a clean package. Should be a terrific driver.

In a sea of '69 Camaros, this one stands out. :thumbsup:

Rybar 08-23-2015 11:50 PM

Congrats the car looks great, although I don't ever think these cars are finished.

WSSix 08-24-2015 11:07 AM

Looks great! Congrats. Have fun driving it around.

214Chevy 08-24-2015 11:23 AM

Love the color. :drool: :drool: :clap: :clap: It looks very close to my shade of blue.

69hugger 08-24-2015 12:15 PM

Finished?! Baaa Haaa Haaa! Good one!

Or was that for "someones" sake? If so, we all understand (wink wink).

Looks awesome! Love LeMans blue/ white stripes!

BTW, what tires?

Paint Code 23 (the color code the painter left in the car) is Bright Metallic Blue or Nassau Blue. Jetstream is #85 which is very close if not the same.:thankyou:

Intimidator3 08-24-2015 06:14 PM

Wait, finished? You just gonna drive it with that big hole in the door? :sarcasm_smiley: Haha just kidding! I say that because I am going to be the same way. I had to purchase another bullet mirror to get painted because the first one "malfunctioned". :hairpullout:

This build is astonishing! :bow: :trophy-1302:
I like the stripes too. It is just enough mix of stock meets modern, exactly what "Protouring style" is. ...and I am partial to blue, so...

Go enjoy that thing, Bud. I will not be far behind you. If only our heat index would drop from 110 degrees I'll get mine finished.

Nice job. Hey, I thought you were thinking about an early C3 Corvette at one time? How's the LS3 combo feel compared to the aluminum big block?

Well, it was sure supposed to be Jetstream Blue, that was Dons pick, and what they agreed to. Regardless, it turned out great, Congrats John.

Radiator is Entropy. Running Stainlessworks (Speedtech headers) 2 1/2" with Magnapacks dumping behind rear wheels

waynieZ 08-27-2015 12:41 AM

That looks So Sweet!! It came out beautiful..

cpd004 08-27-2015 06:03 AM

Beautiful! Would love to see a pic of it in the sun.

Bru 08-27-2015 07:02 AM

Car looks amazing! Very nice work.
That blue just looks perfect on your car.

What brackets did you use for the high mount alternator and A/C compressor?
I'm having a hard time figuring out what to use.
Your setup looks so clean. I like it.

Vega$69 08-27-2015 07:56 AM

All ACC brackets are Holley

do you like the 2 1/2" or would have rather had 3" . Thats my dilemma now

I see no reason for 3" unless you're running WOT all the time or serious tracking the car.


2 1/2" with a X is perfect IMO and fits way better then trying to cram in 3"

Where did you get parking lights? Looks like they have halos
