First project update since ive been on here.. project Venomous. part1

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

and one other thing i love about this project is that its all ORIGINAL panels and the guy i bought her off of was so good to this car it showed..

look at these small squares that we cut out.. that was the only rust on her.. man im glad.

the only accident it has seen was in the rear right quarter panel rubbed up to the door.. which was very minimal.

i got lucky..











and what she looked like before..

I bought the same closeout panel and I love it. sounds like its gonna be a nice project when done! keep those updates coming!

[Chad-1stGen]

Is the closeout pannel you guys are refering to the piece covering the radiator support to front sheet metal gap where the hood latch is?

Looks cool.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yea.. i think its another enthusiast that is selling them on ebay..

but i think i caught the last one.. but i love it for sure!..

now i cant decide wether to paint it or leave it shiny..

[JoshStratton]

Oooooo black! All black! Very very cool, and a nice find too! I cant wait to see your progress!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

New Update!

well i got the car in primer now and as im typing this its in the paintbooth.

we finished the dual side exhausts and im pretty happy with them.. I mandrel bent the piping and my bodyguy handled the welding.. it came out really nice i think... I havent got any advice on how to do them let alone have i been able to find one with that setup.. it seems like noone with a camaro has it that i can find.

we shaved up the doors and antenna hole and some new mirrors.
ill have the final photos this week.. im so happy!!

finally my car is released from paint prison.

were did u get the exhaust tips?

[colt zantop]

I got a set of those exhaust tips if your interested, they are c5 vette tips. my are polished and have never been used. was going on thr 68 but I decided to go a different route. I paid 50.00 for them you can have them for that plus shipping. lmk

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yea im pretty stoked!

i was worried that the side exhaust would come out pretty bad when we were thinking of things to do to her.
