I bought my old 02 Z28 back.

These cars are monster trucks stock. But if you just set it down off the jack without moving it around or compressing the suspension, it will still be a good inch or more higher than actual running height. Especially the front will not settle all the way down off the stands.

Glad to hear, I made the dumb mistake of taking it apart in the driveway vs the garage so I was working on flashlight from my phone with 1% battery left lastnight. Removed the jack stands and rolled it off the ramps (makeshift wood ramps so I can get my jack out from under it lol).

Going to check the color again tonight. From left to right. Yellow, 50% maroon, 70% maroon, 80% maroon (starts to turn brown), standard (extra red kills the brown).

I was originally going with the 50% maroon but just didn?t look good. The 70% looks better.

Def like the middle one best

Got the rear shocks and bmr springs on today. Took it around the block and it rides so much better lol. Still hoping the front settles a bit more.

Also noticed this. I?m guessing he needed some clearance for the duals. I?m pretty sure hooker requires an aftermarket upper pbh relocation.

Yes, that's part of the Hooker kit - dropping the panhard brace down with those aluminum spacers. Hooker doesn't require it, but relocation is necessary, hence those spacers (which come from Hooker).

Got the bumper done. Starting on the bodywork and prepping the car tomorrow evening. Spraying it Saturday.

[DynoDave]

Such a pretty color!

That came out great! I think your idea of some black mesh behind the openings is going to look fantastic!

And I can't help but LOL that it has the MiFBody stickers still.

Got it detrimmed and primed tonight.

Fun stuff tomorrow.

Anyone have a hook up on an ss spoiler or hood?

Ended up getting too busy with work and wasn't able to get it sprayed today. I did pop off the belt moldings, fixed the broken fenders/fender gap at the bottom and fixed a few rock chips I missed on the hood. I need to hunt down a sail panel/roof for this since it has the notorious bubbling. It's not terrible but it'll look like poo with this fresh paint.

Shooting to spray it Monday.

Will that permanently fix the sail panel? Or will the bubbling come back? I thought it had something to do with the adhesive used?

Correct it's the adhesive that's used so repainting it won't fix it since the glue has soaked into the panel.
