New Project - 57 Chevy z06 / 4l80e

lol - What Kenny you don't like it. This HOK Paint thing is way to much fun. You see that car with pink flames it looks even hotter. We bought the software to play with colors and just get some idea's. Well worth the $60.00.

Actually i hired Bob Thrash to do a rendering. It should be done right before Kenny leave's for Sema. I am hoping to have it in his hands before he fly's out in two weeks.

this program is so easy i can't wait to see what my 6 year can do with it.

what about white and black Marty?

Hey Marty,

I bought the same program and spent enough time with it to get frustrated! Way too many choices. I see you just need some Stars and white stripes and you'll have old glory driving down the road. lol...

Last weeks update - forgot to post the pics


Kenny decided it would be easier to fix the panhard bar by relocating it to a better location. It would make running the exhaust a little easier



mount on the rear end



Kenny Re-Routed the exhaust up and over the rear end instead of under the rear diff (this is how it was routed when we purchased the car)

[Tiger]

awesome,
as for the drivers side panhard mount, to me it loos like prone to flexing.
I'd put another piece of tube to the differential "cover" to triangulate a bit more.

Marty,

Are you a part time contortionist? How you get in to take some or your shot is beyond me! Looking good!

must be my fitness background. I used to manage 21 Aerobic Instructors, 10 Fitness Instructors and live with 3 girls. Yep them were the good old day's

Marty! you had to tell us that.... I'm jelous!....

[rocketman]

Did you ever get your rendering done,would love to see it.

[Colin James]

Wow, so your are the guys that got the 57. I was hoping to buy it and ship it back to the UK when I saw it on Ebay, but after doing the calculations the costs of shiping and finishing the car just got out of hand. If I'm not mistaken the initial work was done by Pinkees Rod shop and too a very high standard. Its great to see that someone else is going to get it on the road. Good luck and keep the pictures coming

[syborg tt]
