Re: My 1997 Z28 project 396 Lt1 (pic heavy)
Again thanks guys for the compliments. I have received much criticism about the gfx on the car. I looked at this way, not only does the car separate itself from other camaros by the sound of it (sounds like a straight up nascar) but they add to its identity as well. Growing up as a child i fell in love with the iroc z , i thought this gfx package looked very similar to that of the iroc z. Also the car has been off the road due to a busted transmission, tomorrow that all changes, as the new tranny goes in, so it will be back under power tomorrow night.

I don't normally like the gfx AT ALL but somehow it comes together nice like I said before and I'll say it again I think it looks good and it has its own identity which is also a plus good job.

was able to get in a shot with both of the girls together llast week, them being an hour away from each other made it tough finding good reasons to drive one to the other. So the body shop was it.

So the Z is in the body shop, I to have been doing some of the break down of the car so here are some photos I took today of her, and to start off all the problem that were on the body.
damn arm that frame of the car rests on snapped causing the car to smash down on the arm of the lift goes under the car.
found a good aftermarket nose so this emblem is gone.

some photos from the body shop, new front bumper cover and SS hood tested fitted. they looked pretty good without even making any adjustments, obviously some do need to made.
