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

Landon is messin around with a few ideas of adding something unique on one or both of the blisters, the idea is still in progress, will have more on that later.
The idea was taken from the 45th anniversary Camaro

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:

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

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.
