Hey guys,
So right now, I'm finally getting around to getting my car back and running on the streets. It's been almost 2 years now, and a simple project turned into complete overhaul pretty much. It was wrecked when I was 16 and it's now needing an engine too. Well, I got the frame straightened, purchased all the body panels, and the new engine will be ready in less than a month. So I'm wanting to get my car together real soon. My only problem is right now, the car is factory red and my replacement panels came off a green V6. I'm also getting low on funds. My original intent was to just repaint my car back to it's factory color and leave it or go all out with something custom, but I don't have the money and probally won't have enough until the end of summer or next spring to afford to all of that. So I've been thinking of flat blacking the entire car (NOT RATTLE CANNED!). I'm already going to paint my enginebay flat black. Right now, it has some scratches that I'm wanting to get rid of before the new engine goes in. I have everything disassembled and it's ready for paint, I just need to decide how I'm going to do it. Btw, when I say completly disassembled, the car is totally stripped right now because I wanted to get everything out of it so I could delete a couple items, paint some, and not worry about over spray on anything. So what do you think?
Here's how it will look when complete: Flat Black exterior with white pinstripping. I also have a SS hood, I'm shaving the door locks and trunk lock, shaving the antenea, flat black engine bay, I have chrome Z28 and LT1 badges, chrome camaro rear fillin, and chrome wheels. The interior was dark grey with leather, but now everything is dark black. I've painted everything, I just need to get something done with my seats and the inserts in the door panels because those still are dark grey. So guys, what do you think?
