69 Camaro at Best of Show

[Matt@BOS]

Thanks for the input guys.

Todd, the I was like you and a bit cynical of whether the inner fender mods would work, but they do. The bigger question is whether or not the mods will actually make a huge difference, I've heard these cars with the DSE sub isn't great a small tight turns anyway. What has your experience been?

So yesterday I decided the brake calipers needed to be powder coated. If anyone is on the fence about powder coating their c6 z06 calipers, my suggestion would be to be happy with the factory bright red. I thought it wouldn't be too expensive, maybe 50 for new seals and a couple hundred for powder coating, but GM only sells seals with pistons so everything ended up costing around 400, plus another 400 for powder coating. Should have done some research before tearing the brakes down, oh well. The whole powder coating issue has led me to a much bigger problem though, what color to paint the brakes, ultimately what color to paint the accent stripe, red or blue? If the hockey stick stripe is red, the calipers will be gray with red lettering. If the stripe is blue, then calipers would either be primarily grey, or blue with contrasting lettering. So many little decisions

here are two spray outs:

I've always liked red because I first envisioned kind of a dark, sinister car, but the blue really does, pop and is different. Opinions are welcome so long as they're for red . Everyone at Best of Show likes blue, what do you guys think?

Also here is a scrap panel that BOS cut up to test out how to open the gills.
