I Like the paint job design on yours.
Mine is re-painted though, some things weren't right on it. I have Gold Ice Flake with the Black paint, then Orange Candy finish. The new Flame work is spread out more across hood instead of up the middle. It will be done this week. I will post new pics when I get mine back
Sorry about the pic size. Couldn't figure out why they are so big this time. hmm.

I like the Art work!! Just wondering why you only did the "Rally" stripe area & not spread out/ or the masked off look. I'm just curious as flames/fire is kind of erratic by nature but I still like yours..
It took me a while to find someone to do this design (“True Fire” vs. “Ghost Flames”) after I seen it on some older Street Rods.
I have a few questions for you, as I don’t know a lot about these. I would rather ask someone that isn’t trying to make money.
1.Where is a good place to get the ground effects, do they attach over existing or do you need to modify factory equipped & how is it on the street, (over driveway curbs/aprons) too low?
2. Do you know where to get the orange “Halo” lights? (Head & tail lights).
3. What exhaust system do you have? (I assume you have a new 3”.) What do you think about changing the exhaust (complete with headers vs. cat back system?) Is it really worth buying the complete vs. cat back? Do they increase hp that would be noticeable? I’d like to change factory sound more than increased hp at this time. I have a “FlowMax” cat back on my Impala SS just for the sound.
4. Any input or advise would be helpful!!!!!!

I love the True Fire designs. I am having mine re-done. This pictured one was done by "Idiots" that messed up the clear coat,

The shop is Boitnotts out of Fairfield, OH website....... http://www.boitnotts.com/content/ The have a lot of cars in the "local" Cavalcade of Customs shows in Cincinnati.

They have stripped/sand blasted it. Im going back with: Black with Gold flake, then Orange Candy Gloss to give the gold a tint of orange. Everything painted black w/gold flake, (Jambs, inside trunk, under hood & engine compartment) except the fire wall behind the engine. The new flames are spread out more across the hood, instead of a "V" shape. A little more down the sides also. The new flames have a bit more yellow which makes them “Pop” in the sunlight. I like mine the flames all across the front to hide the bugs when they splat on the black. The car may be done next week. I will post the new paint on here http://www.camaro5.com/forums/camarogarage.php?do=garage&id=28492
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Check out Ivan at Southwest Speed he's on here ( C5 ). I built my entire car thru him by ordering parts from his busines, be sure to tell him I sent you. I have dual red/white halos Im lookin to get rid of. The ground effects depends on what you get. You can get good sound and better fuel mileage with an exhaust system while increasing power especially if you tune the car after installation.:w00t:

I can't wait to see this car in person. The pictures all look fantastic. Crazy mad props go out to you for this machine.

calbert1999 11-13-2011 06:01 PM

My LSX429 going to arrive sometime next week. Can't wait until it's all put together for me, most likely will take about a week or more to get it all sorted out.
Will have to get some pics up to share.
