VENOMOUS out of paintbooth.. almost ready to cruise

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

well my camaro Venomous is out of the booth.

we did a whole lot of shaving and smoothing.. i still have to install the rear dse 3inch drop leafs and shocks also the other sidemirror and lights but shes done.
and we havent even sanded and buffed yet either.

i also had the chance to take some photos with bonnie also.

heres the pics..

[mtuck]

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Like them both, and it's good to be different.

[ponchopwr70]

Nice work, the camaro looks good.

[colt zantop]

looks killer! keep those updates coming!!

[ViperBlue68]

Looks good! I like the exhaust alot! my buddy just bought a chevy truck with those tips "Gibson" I believe... he said I could have em when IF he changes his exhaust....I like the mirror too what is it off of?

edit: OH YAH....what grille is that???

[formula98]

What a Car!!!! You have built it just as I've been planning to build my 67. It's beautiful! Did you make the grill? if not where did you get it?

Great job! I'm really envious! Now I have to get back to work on mine!

[ProTouring442]

Very nice!!! I like it all... if I did it I would have the headlights showing, but it looks awsome the way you did it, great work!

Looks great!

[formula]

neeto cheeto, nice to see something different out there!

[Bandit]

Awesome bodywork--I love how you did the front end, it makes it look really mean!!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

thanks!...

i thought folks would burn me alive for shaving those big openings. the damn thing took me a whole day just on that panel. filled and smoothed metal.

i did it cause ive never seen anyone do it.. have yall?

and the grille is custom cut, i have to put the lights back in but im debating doing a smaller smoked lightbulb to hide it inside to keep the gi joe snakeyes look.

and the side exhaust was inspired by those DUB toys..ahahhaha

[formula98]

Did you make the Grille? Would you be interested in making another (if you did)? What would you charge? I have seen similar, but haven't found any one to make it. I hope you don't mind, but my car will look something similar, but in Blue and white (Riptide colors). Similar in style as your master piece. Nice Job!

[trapin]

Nice work. Looks like a lot of effort went into it.

[jimhamptons]

Sweet!

[restomodbird69]

looks great,doing things differnt is what will make it stand out from the others

[SatisTraction]

i like the lower valence!! do you have any progress pics of it?

[PRO TC]

:twothumbs sweet!! great looking 67
barry

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Thanks guys!..

i still have a wing but i cant bring myself to put it on!.. hahaha

[go-fish]

EVIL, pure evil... I love it.
More info on the grille please, and are you going to do any airbrushed accents or anything? I like the wheels but have you photoshopped them for black ones?

[dropit69]

wow!! that turned out really nice..love to see it sitting next to fuel..that would be pure evil..

[Rybar]

Looks really, really good! I vote for the rear spoiler.

[formula98]

Thanks guys!..

i still have a wing but i cant bring myself to put it on!.. hahaha

Keep it the way it is! I love the look with out the wing! Everyone has a rear spoiler, the lines are great without!

[69Nova]

Man you car looks badass. I love all black.

[stealth71]

Looks great. How did you make the picture effect?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

heres a Movie of me randomly revving the motor. haha

and yea i photoshoped the photos.. not the car but just the background.

[gsxrken]

Looks like many, many hours have been spent. It's a nice twist to the standard-issue camaro.

[GTOConno]

Nice work, the car screams "wicked". Real clean and dark. One of a kind.

[peacemaker]

That is one mean looking machine. I like what you did with it! The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

thanks guys..

i wanted to make the camaro mean looking.. tough. street brawler.

because i intend to DRIVE it..

i guess when we buld a car i tend to have the same design elements in my approach as all the others i do, mostly i try and give it an overall look. i dont know if its art but is sure feels good to me.

but im not out of the woods quite yet... i got to finish the engine bay BADLY.. kinda embarrasing right now..

wires everywhere like a rasta dreadlock hat on my engine. hahaha

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[formula98]

The engine sounds sweet! I hate to say it, but maybe should have done the engine bay before the beautiful paint job. It makes it so much more difficult when you have to work around freshly painted outsides. I have the same problem with my 80 Camaro.

It is a work of art!

what close out panel is that? self made?

[CliffS]

Love the look, hot!

[BA.]

Looks very nice VT! I like the customizations! Probably looks even better in person!

[showme]

It looks KILLER! I like it!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

what close out panel is that? self made?

its a premade one that a camaro guy makes and sells on ebay..

look it up!

and showme.. that a BIG compliment coming from the car that looks like itll kill you.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

but ill tell you what.. Barney is PISSED!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[formula98]

Great Job with Barney! I can even see him behind the wheel! Remember the gost and mr chicken? Great photos by the way!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

hahaha yea my boy has been playing with me doing some funny pshops.

My name is Chad and I E-mailed you about your car. Your car is exactly what I am planning on doing to mine. I also find it Ironic that you are a dubber too. I also have a bunch of VW's. Are you my twin?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

You read my mind with shaving the holes in the lower valence. Do you have any close ups of it?? Keep me posted on what lighting set up you do because I also wanted to do something like in the MK5 GTI

[madmax]

Damn dude, what color paint is on that thing?

[Kal]

It looks great!

I like how you got some ideas from a few toys... That so cool. I really think the name of the car is cool too
