Thanks, the brake light is from a 91 Cavalier

Thanks for the info.

How did you mount it in the spoiler?

hey im wondering....does the blue chevy sign in the tailpanel come in black?

[slenning]

Hey Guys, sorry it took so long to reply!!

Thanks for the info.

How did you mount it in the spoiler?

I just used a clip on each end. The back of the light at each end was basically flush with the inside of the spoiler. Real simple.

That color is a gotta have. I'd be willing to pay a small fee for that recipie. Well done. PM me; I'm serious.

I have to get the formula from my painter and will let you know. I need to get some pics outside in the sunlight and post them. Looks real good in the sunlight.

Thats exactly what I've been wondering. Black would look great.I don't much care for the blue. I've also been thinking about making a billet bowtie the same size. What do you think?

Looks awesome! That color is SO close to the color that I am using (but mine is not a custom mix) I had to do a side-by-side compare:





It looks like yours may be a bit darker. It looks awesome with the black! I am hoping mine looks as nice! (I will have silver stripes and black wheels).

More pics!

I didn't see that someone else already asked about the chassis paint. Sorry!




Hi Wayne, we used Sikkens Autocryl Rally Black. There are two different activators, the one we used on the bottom,firewall, subframe, core support, etc. dries to a satin finish. We used the other activator for the interior and got a nice semigloss finish. My painter says this stuff is really tough.

i didnt want to come right out with it because i think you car is absolutely perfect haha. i think a black bowite or maybe some aluminum one right off the waterjet would look good. im thinking of doing almsot the same color but a ltitle lighter gray. i was going to black out the tailpanel and get some gunmetal rims like bad penny. amazing job though. cant wait to see it totally done

[Bowtie racing]

I am so thrilled to see this camaro coming together!!! What a beautifull car and technically 100% in bullseye!!!!!!!!

[67speedfreak]

Very nice project

Awesome ride! The color is perfect.

[Flash68]

Thanks for all the coments guys!


I could tell you the color but then I'd have to k... Sorry got carried away!!
Actually we kind of home brewed the color, but we did it on a computerized scale setup so we can duplicate it anytime. I'll post the exact ingredients if you'd like to duplicate. We used Sikkens paint by the way. God I was scared to death how it would look!! Have got a lot of positive feedback.Whew

Wow, that is stunning. What a great color. I would be interested to know your "recipe" for that color, more just to see what the mixture is made of. I just chose my dark gray color about 3 weeks ago so I can't copy you now!

I grew up in South Dakota (Pierre) and all my family is still there. Where are you at - Sioux Falls? Rapid City?

[David Sloan]

Very nice job Steve.
Cant wait to see the finished product! The color choice is titts, Man you did good. I did a 70 chevelle in a 71 steel city grey met. about 20 years ago with blk. strips that reminds me of your color combo.
Thanks for sharing!!

Phil, I was checking your pictures out when I was trying to decide my combination and since you're doing silver stripes I decided on the black. Yours is gonna look awesome too, from what I've seen so far!! Thanks

Wow, a first place already and I'm not even done. Thanks

I will post the "recipe" as soon as I get it from the bodyshop. My brother in law "bodyman" came over to help on the car last weekend but didn't bring the formula along. I live in Sioux Falls, if you ever get over here give me a hollar!

Thanks a lot David! When I was trying to decide on my color I asked my bodyguys if they remembered the "old" steel city gray. They didn't. I had a friend with a 57 chevy in that color and always liked it.
