When I was prepping my '87 Fiero it looked like that but it was metallic blue, yellow and black covering the ENTIRE car. I ended up actualy likeing is so I just left it like that for a year or so, then I put it up for sale so I had to paint it. Don't forget the flex agent when paint time comes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

don't worry i primed it with plastic primer and when everything is ready to paint i will use the adhesion promoter/flex agent. learned my lesson :/

first part of my new exhaust system

amp

wiring ran

.010 bore, bigger carb and mild cam and valve cover color

this is going into the rear seat driver side not sure how i'm gonna do it yet but most likely going to make a bracket out of angle iron and weld it to the floor and securing box with a platform

doors are primed and hopefully i start deadening tomorrow. weirdness went on with my ssa order and i got sent some old old damplifier pro instead of regular black damplifier. i called and talked to anthony (GREAT guy btw) and he just sent me a new pack of black free of charge. that's great customer service! but i think ups did something because the package was scanned on the 18th of december and just got here yesterday, the 4th of january. oh well **** happens but it's all goood.

feedback is welcome guys.. feel free to let me know what you think good or bad

Cool. I love when people restore cars. Makes me miss my old 65 Mustang GT. I LOVE that blue too.

shanks guys. the paint is just for the valve covers and other little stuff in the engine bay. the car is gonna be blakc. trying to match the motor with some sexy wire. i need like 8-10 feet of matte blue 1/0!!!! i wanna get knu fleks but i don't wanna pay $40 for 10 feet of wire unless i have to. i've had the car since i was 15 and have just started getting it done. was supposed to be a father/son first car restoration sort of thing but that didn't happen till now :/ i'll dog through my phone for some old pictures of the t/a and my dad's camaro //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

let's start with the kz1000 my dad built for his buddy

chromed out motor, exhaust, chrome six inch extended sway bar and chrome everything else. personally i'm not a fan of chrome but it's not my bike..

that nice bimmer in the background was my first real crash. wasn't so nice after i was done with it. fucking score!

edging out the fender

my dad does big things.. like sara palin. haha

this is the only pic i have of the maro right now. if it's at the house tomorrow i will snap some pics of it if you wanna see more of it. maybe i can steal the girl's cam and get some deec pictures of it

way back when i had motivation to finish this thing :/

subframe

sanding on the firewall

had it ready to paint.. about to start on bubby's camaro after he ran into the side of a big black man in a big black dodge magnum
