Project OCD
Hey everyone. Long time, first time. I'm redoing my 67 Camaro and thought I'd share some pics with the crowd. The name OCD came from my wife and it fits perfect. I spend way too much time thinking about this car, the build etc. etc. so it just came out one day and stuck.
The car went in to repair a bubble in the 1/4 panel and has snowballed into a repaint and some custom touches. It's all being done at The PaintHouse in Cypress Texas. Randy is awesome and I'm sure some of you have seen his award winning Chevelle and other cars. www.painthousetx.com
Changes -
Exhaust cut outs
Flush glass kit
Shaved door handles and drip rails
Anvil auto valance with no cutouts at cowl - trying to complete the slick look.
One black center stripe in matte finish
When finished it will be sent to Ronnie Mangus in LA to do a full interior.
The last pic is after color sand and polish of the body.

Yes, if the URL doesn't end in an image extension (.jpg, .gif, etc.) it doesn't look like vBulletin recognizes them as valid images. Try imageshack or photobucket or similar otherwise.

Love the color. The cut outs are well done but after seeing this on the one lap car I think it hurts the look a bit

It's PPG Patriot Red with a custom mix and candy put into the base rather than on top. Now called Candy Apple Reid (my last name)
I'm not familiar with the one lap car.

That is a sweet car, (the one lap)- just goes to show there are no fresh ideas, just good ones.. Anyway I doubt I'll be bumping into him, or parked next to, in Houston at are street meets.

Do you have any bypass baffles in case the air filters get soaked...to prevent Hydro-lock?
You can't be slick to a can of oil

In the exhaust panel pass through- how are you supporting the inner pipe to keep it from rattling against the outer pipe?

Great looking build. I really like your exhaust. I'm planning something similar but coming out in front of the rear tire rather than behind it. Looks nice!
