There's no hurry on the mods. Take your time and do only what you want. I like the hood spears. That will look good. Come on Wednesday!!!

Got a call from 4RD H8R... the car won't be ready until late this week (hopefully). He said that the clear was very thin, and they sanded through it in spots. The good news is that they will be repainting most/all of the white, before clearing the whole car. Should give me good thickness, so hopefully I won't suffer from chips as easily.
I'm getting very anxious!!!

Yeah, after a long road trip, my convertible is getting close to the callaway's mileage, and I haven't even had the convertible in my possession for almost 3 weeks! Are you enjoying your ride?

I have posted a few more pics in the first few thread messages. Lots of parts missing! I'm ready for some pics of it going back together. I've been able to stay away and let them work their magic. The shop is about 25 miles away, or I would be there every day.
Getting close now

I knew you would love the color! Not sure about Oct. 8th yet. That was a heck of a drive...but who knows. I hit the strip in my other camaro when it was at 500 miles. I wasn't ready with the convertible...only having it for 4 days.

More paint pictures added to the first post. It looks matte/satin because it hasn't been cleared yet. The whole panels will be cleared once completely done. I thought a little about matte or satin, but I'm not quite sure yet how to take care of it.
I was promised more pics of the main body being painted. It is getting done as I write this.

That is going to be one sweet ride when its done. Are you going to paint a red pinstrip along the car where the black/white come together? Thinking about what you did with the wheels... |

Bowties will be painted black to match the top (including chrome), and will also have a red pinstripe. Tail lights will be sprayed to darken them, and tail light bezels will be tinted as well to produce a black chrome. If the black chrome doesn't look great, then they will be painted satin/matte black. SS emblems will stay red, but the chrome will be painted black. Side Camaro emblems will not be going back on (at least for now). That should eliminate all of the chrome. The black paint also has a red metallic flake in it. Can't see it until you look at it in the sun. Thanks again 4RD H8R for staying late to make sure this gets done right!

I may have to come down to Suwanee to see it in the sun. My company has a Distribution Center there maybe I need to visit... Make sure to get a good macro close-up of the black paint when complete. |
