white/burg pewter stripes would look outstanding!

[s.reef]

Yea Joel that color combo would look sweet!

[JoeliusZ28]

your welcome. i came up with that idea for Jon's Z28 when he was going to do the body work and paint it nice, but he decided not to. so i want to see it on someones car!!

citrus green is a B-A color, but i dont see it fitting yours too well - it needs chrome to go with it IMO, and you have a matched bumper. I would only do the bumble bee look if youre gonna go all out, similar to the car you just posted. the reason i say that is because youll need to pull bumble bee off really good if you dont want people to see it as a replica of a piece of crap movie car.

What about glossy black with sunset orange stripes?

I don't want a movie car replica, just liked the look. The black with sunset orange stripes though intrigues me.

hang in there man

luv the valve covers - who makes em?

hate the green - the color combo ive always wanted to try though is a wine/burgandy with stealth pewter z-stripes

Thanks, I am.

They are GM valve covers from the 50's I think.

OMG wow, dude you rock. I totally was gonna do that way back when I first tore this apart and completely forgot until now. I even had pictures of one that was a Maroon metallic with black stripes that I found on ebay once. Well, lets add that to the list, and I was going to go with gray stripes. Can't believe not only did I forget about that but you have the same idea!!!

I think we'll table the green until I get my hands on a 70-73 RS Z28.

Lets put the yellow down to #3. I like the black and orange Joel, great idea. The Wine/burgundy and grey/pewter are my #2 now.

Thanks Guys.

any progress as of late?

Sorry guys, I know you are disappointed, it's been a really rough year, with my dad passing away, problems with the house and my wife losing her job, yesterday we had to take my mom's keys from her and tell her that she isn't going to drive anymore after she got in her 3rd fender bender this year and scared the hell out her friend riding with her (not the first person that will never ride with her again). So I must confess, I've gone through some depression this year and lost the drive and desire the last few months. However, I hope to rectify that soon.

Nothing actually being done on the car. Still working overtime, which should hopefully get me in a better position after the first of the year to do more to the car.

However, I have found a set of Valve covers I like, very nostalgic I think. These aren't the exact ones but it's what kind they are. What do you guys think?



Also, back to the color discussion, we're now up to 3 colors ahead of some form of Orange which would be 4th on the list. Not in any order of preference at this point, Yellow (maybe with black stripes like the 77 in Transformers, which is where I got the idea), basic glossy Black, or Code 043 Citrus Green, which I love, but looks better on early 2nd Gens than it would on mine I think, I don't see it fitting my "era" or the look of the car. But, who knows. Here's a pic of a early 2nd gen in that color.

I think a flat black thirdgen would be cool... just a big POS looking thing with a LS2 under the bonnet. No interior... would be fun and youd never have to worry about scratching your effing paint.

OT - What are the two colors that are ahead of orange?

EDIT: What about something like this?

Believe it or not that is or is real close to the original color. But not going to go that way.

Maybe for a street or Rat rod but not an fbody.

Flat Black and Primer gray don't count.

....That had been talked about at one time. It's still a possibility but there are 2 other colors ahead of it currently.

OT, I would go with Chevy Orange for the engine. But then, I'm old and Chevy Orange just "seems right" to me.

Not arguing that at all. It does seem right. I guess it's just that, well, everybody does it, so I wanna be different. However, I may go orange anyway and make it look different in some other way.

a sunset orange '80!?!?! the man is on to something here
