Almost there:







A lot of people are telling me it looks good just in primer and I should keep it like that.

oh and here's what I did to my spare intake manifold (current one is cracked):





It looked even better when I ran the machine over it a few times.

 

Damn! I'm gonna do that to my 3.4 manifold when I tear it apart!

 

Don't leave it primer, that's part of why our cars get redneck status. Are you going back with stock color?

 

I don't plan to leave it that way. New color - Navy Blue Metallic

 

Also, if you leave it in primer, it'll absorb water and rust. I've read enough Hot Rod magazine over the years to know that .

Looks like you've done a good job. Our cars were twins almost, though it looks like you got hit harder. Mine got taken care of by a bodyshop though.

I like that you shaved your antenna off.

 

Thanks Brange, I always hated that thing anyways, it's an eyesore to me and I never listen to the radio.

I know all about primer, I work at a collision shop. I just thought it was funny how people like it that way. I'm leaving the spoiler off btw, I like it like that.




Just kidding. =P.

 

Phew! you had me going! Leaving the spoiler off on a camaro makes it look like a bald dude.

 

Thats not cool!

 

Id recommend doing the black canopy that always looks good.

What did you use on the manifold, Id say hit it with some zoop seal and do the letter in NBM.

 

Black top is for Z28's, mine isn't. Rims will be gunmetal/ charcoal gray. I like the NBM lettering idea on the intake, though. I rattle can black and cleared my engine bay, I'll post pics of that when I can, plus my new slotted rotors, they look really nice thru my wheels.

 

haha yea I'm gonna go bald for saying that.

Oh btw I'm keeping my car
