The bowtie grill is getting sprayed gloss black with the bowtie being painted purple.

Also I scheduled my vacation day to go pick it up Friday April 6th!

When I had the front end of mine shaved I also had my grill sprayed gloss black... I did my bowtie in teal, and ended up not liking it at all. We put it back to red the next day. Weird how such a small piece of red on a car that has literally NO RED at all looked better.

I'm really interested to see the pics, I'm sure its gonna look great.

Re: Purple Haze/ Silver Z03 Z28 convertible project: LT1/T56 swap

I've just been sent photos of the hood blisters with a custom air brush graphic but I've been asked not to post the photos here until we pick up the car April 6th because my dad checks this site from his computer and my buddy wants to make it a surprise for him. It looks so freaking cool though I absolutely cannot wait to get the car back and show you all!

It really pops in the sun with the chameleon mixed in. This is before any buffing too:

Our pickup date had to be pushed back two weeks due to unforeseen events. Our scheduled pickup date is now 4/20/12.

The motor is a stock cube LT1 with ported heads and intake and a decen size cam. It has an electric WP, and will have headers and a 3" stainless exhaust with the SLP Two on the Left. The engine with a T56 behind it is about a 370hp combo. Nothing extreme but definitely worlds apart from a stock TPI third gen.

No spoiler on this one. We didn't want to tackle it ourselves given that mine doesn't fit as well as I'd like it to and we put a ton of time into it. With the caliber of the paint job on this car he wants it to be perfect and having the painter do the body work on a spoiler was a $500 option.

The car was so happy that it invited Charlie Sheen over for a party on its nose!

Nick, tell Landon I said what's up!

Here's a couple pics from my phone, I have more from an actual camera but can't post them till I get on my home computer. This thing is even nicer than we thought it would be. My dad is completely thrilled!!!

They're chrome replica Cobra R's. 17x9", tires are 275/40/17 BF Goodrich T/A's.

I'm uploading 20 pictures to photobucket that are from my actual camera, I'll pick out some good ones and post them up in a sec.

Hi-res pictures (shrunken down from Photobucket though...)

This will be the same theme when I get my car painted in the hopefully near future, except mine will be blue (of course) and instead of 25th on the blister it will say Z28.

I'm going to be hunting for some clear front turn signals, new parking lights, and we're going to probably tint the tail lights that are going on it. He also wants to lower the car after it's done, because even the back end sits kinda high right now.

For now he's staying with the cobras but he may swap to something else later.
