Red Sonja Gets a Makeover; My Build Journal - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Finally did some work on Sonja today. I have been putting it off for too long now. I painted the rear emblem to break up the rear black out. I have pictures of the project that I will post tomorrow after it all dries and I get it mounted. I forgot to mention that I got some Pfadt drop springs. I will take some pics and make sure to do the before and after ride height.

Very nice, I love what you have done with it! It's threads like these that really make me wish I would have made a build thread

Thank you very much. I have always wanted to mod a car and show the progress and since it sort of a "thing" on here, it was a no brainer for me. It's too bad that you didn't make a build thread.

I have pics of the rear emblem painted and the new C.A.I. being installed but my computer was not cooperating last night. I also have a Magnaflow cat back exhaust on order with special plans for that. Stay tuned.

The first of many performance mods. Got a sweet deal from Apex at CamaroFest and had Ted Jannetty do the install. What are really nice guy he is.

If only it weren't for those pesky responsibilities of being an adult. LOL Bills, the enemy of modding cars.
