ZL1 "Fire Ant" Shows Off - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Here are a few pics of "Fire Ant" and his haul of trophies for 2012. He was born in April, delivered in May, and then endured more than 2 months of custom stainless steel and stereo work during the heart of the car show season. 12 car shows netted 15 trophies (still waiting on one), including 4 best of shows -- not too bad for the Texas ankle-biter!!

That's an impressive car.

Not exactly my style, but definitely a very well done, beautiful car. Congrats, and many more for 2013 I'm sure!

Probably slower than the rest with the extra weight in stainless and stereo equipment, but still plenty fast for me.

Nah, I cheated and had others do it for me -- River City did the lambo doors and reverse hood, American Car Craft did the stainless, and Custom Sounds did the stereo. Well, I did add the stripes on my own, so it hasn't all been second party.

Very nice Steve... my jaw dropped when I saw this one in person..

autoguy · 12-31-2012, 01:03 AM

Nice!!

deuceman · 12-31-2012, 03:14 AM

How did you do the stripe around the wheels? Was thinking of something like this. I wouldn't be able to do a perfect circle like that.

el ess A · 12-31-2012, 03:47 AM

Looks sharp! I wouldn't do that to the car if it were mine, but it isn't. Congrats on all the wins!

G4M3OVR · 12-31-2012, 04:10 AM

The stainless is pretty excessive for my taste but I can certainly appreciate the time and effort put into.
