LMAO. I never let "the man" get me down. No pink, I am however thinking about doing something Bold. I plead the 5th on just "how bold".

Camaro.

hehehe, I had to point it out.


Bodywork looks great! I wish mine would look that good (when I finally get around to doing it, even though I know it will never look that good).

Also are those the rims you decided to go with? What size are they? 18"?

Yep, that's a nice Camaro, too, Pro-Charged, injected and inter-coolded big-block under the hood, over 800 horsepower. It's a customer's car.


Thanks for the compliments on my Stang! It's not going to be perfect but well worth the price I'm paying.

The wheels weren't my first choice, came with another Mustang I bought and they have $900 worth of new tires on them, so long story short I'm using them. lol. They are 17's.

Wow that does sound like a nice camaro! Lol

And I figured you were using those rims cause the tires looked so new.

If you don't mind me asking, what is that bodywork going to cost you? I've gotta put some thought into that for my mustang as well.

The Camaro also has very nice custom interior that our shop put together. It's in the top 5 or 6 I'd say of the 1st gen Camaros we've built, the top 1 and 2 being appraised at nearly $200k We do a lot of cars, and a good majority of them are 1st gens.

My paint is a side-job in cooperation with a friend, so I'm paying for materials and some of their time, that's all. I'm not anticipating it being perfect but I'm sure it will be decent. I'll probably be paying about the same as a "Maaco" or "Earl Scheib" job, but getting better quality for sure.
