Looking good man. That yellow looks good.

Went down to the shop today....no paint (yet)

So more teaser shots....

Problem with perfectionists....they decided to reblock the whole car again, aiming for paint now early next week...

None the less did get some photos

First lot the ghost flames, they mocked up 6

3 panels 2 lots of flames per panel, I only have photos of one panel

the 2 panels I did not get shots of had a gold and magenta pearl, and a blue and a green pearl flicked into the flames

The 1 panel that I did get a photo of (seen below in 2 different angles) was using just more of the same pearl that is being paid n the car anyway, just more coats.

1 of 5 extra coats and the other of 10 extra coats

In this fist pics the flames at the top are 5 extra coats, at the bottom 10 extra



in this second pic the one on the right hand side is 5 coats, left hand side 10 extra



I'm going with the 5 extra coats. Nice and subtle and Love how it changes colour with the change of angle, it's either red, green or yellow flames

The other pics are just as the car stands while they block it...

Thought some might like to see it with the 4" cowl it will be registered with. The shop trying to talk me into staying with the 4" cowl...but no way, it comes off when the plates go on....

I seriously love the look of these rear treads damn I love the deep dish of these Rushforth's....

The ghost flames look good.

I don't mean to be rude,and it's your car, but that's way too much yellow IMHO , it just looks like you got a 55 gallon drum of yellow paint dirt cheap or free and went to town with it.And I'd advise not to go with any flames, makes the car even more tacky.

The fab work looks great,and that motor is a monster

Appreciate the thoughts, it is a lot of yellow...but that's what I wanted...yellow and polished billet...

It's not your average run of the mill Camaro..

you gotta remember he,s is Australia and i think this type of built is still very much in style there. yeah all the yellow (or whatever color), polished billet and flames are excessive and "tacky" to the types of builds the majority of us are into but when you look at it into comparison to 90s pro-street cars this car invokes all that style and then some! so as far as a pro-street car this car is boss.

Well she finally has paint !!!!

painted yesterday in the oven overnight. Cloudy here today which sucks, but managed to wheel it out into the sun during a break in the clouds.

This has NOT been rubbed back yet, this is as it has come off the gun, so it will be much shinier..

These photos do not do the pearl justice, the reds and greens are hard to see. Greens tend to come out more,but the reds are there also just harder to see

Video at the bottom is better to show it off, but again not as good as seeing it in the flesh.

I have to say I am super happy with this, looks fricken awesome, just the colour I was after...

Oh yeah and in the sun, damn it's bright !!!!














I have a 1 min video that I have tried all day to load up to Youtube and/or Photobucket but keeps failing to load up...not sure why yet, but will try again later to get it up...so just stills for now. The video is way way better
