Hey guys, my name is Trey and I'm 17 from VA. I've been on this site for a year or two but never got on. I started my first restoration about a year or two ago and I didn't really have a Camaro or know much at the time so I stayed away. Anyway, I'm pretty much done with my project and I'm painting it today, and I'm waiting for my base to dry as I type.

When the car was on a rotisserie I painted the bottom of the floors glossy black and I also painted my engine to match the exterior color. I did a LS2 conversion in it, I used a ASA cam and I also replaced the valve springs, but other than that and the intake the engine is stock. I will post pics as soon as I finish painting it!

( Sorry for grammar or other problems I'm not proof reading )

The pictures are also from a good while back so trust me I don't work that fast. And I painted it before just to cover it and do more body work and to see what it looked like. I knew I had to repaint it because they get all scratched up putting them together!

Awesome project man, im currently doing the same with a 1969 firebird, and im also 17

Trey3 · 01-04-2013, 01:31 PM

Oh cool, yeah I got this one with a '67 Firebird also, this was the rougher car. You can change them over also!

Looks like a good start! How long do you plan before you are driving it?

Trey3 · 01-04-2013, 01:47 PM

Hopefully a week or two.

BAD DAB · 01-04-2013, 02:16 PM

Nice project!

2010 SSRS · 01-04-2013, 02:24 PM

awesome work you have done, I will definitely be watching for the finished pics

willhe64 · 01-04-2013, 03:17 PM

Is it going to be gloss or satin finish?

Trey3 · 01-04-2013, 04:47 PM

Thanks everyone!
And It will be gloss that was just a base coat picture.

Trey3 · 01-04-2013, 04:48 PM

I'm still fixing the striping... For anyone wanting to do the racing stripes... Pay someone to do it... It's a b****...

willhe64 · 01-04-2013, 04:50 PM

Too bad, I am loving that blue anodized look. See the guy from Germany on here who wrapped his car in it? Outstanding, and your base coat looks like it.

Trey3 · 01-04-2013, 05:46 PM

I know I read on him earlier today. And after I sprayed the base I was impressed on how good it looked on the car. Only problem is base without clear will fade in the sun quick... :/
