[wa2fastcamaro]

Ok Lank, its gunna be red, those pictures just showed me how good it could look. So now I need to decied on the shade of red, the stock honda redit was before was dull, I really like that one in the pictures.

I was thinking like a corvette red or ferrari red.

I am gunan do mine like in the pictues too, all apinted trim, god I hate black trim, painted door handles, shaved emblems.

My <u>vote</u> is for JDM ITR dark red. The top picture is the color I'm talking about. Also I attached a nice looking maroon crx, and a stock red one for comparison

I saw a really nice two tone maroon (bottom) & black (top). I'll find the pictures if i can.

Whatever shade of red is in the pics that lank posted, go with that color. Fukn pimp shizzle.

Thanks for the input, I like the bright red one that lank posted better. I am not very fond of the dark reds. I am going to United Automotive in the morning to look at paint samples and try to pick a color. I am trying to do this paint job on a budget so I may go with the Omni pant too, unless the PPG isn't much more. I also need to pick up some body filler, but otherwise the car is going good.

Only a few minor dents, I found about 10 bondo sport where the previous owner started fixing the dents. I was supprised to fin the car relitively rust free other than 3 baseball sized spots on the driver door, grinded them down and will fil them later, it was just minor surface rust.

Also I bused most of the clips that hold the ground effect moldings on, so I hope I can find new ones.

Here's a pic of tinights progress, 5 hours of sanding and the driver side is mostly done.

Ok, I went and picked out colors, its between these 2 reds. Corvette Torch Red or Ferrari Rosso Red.

[PSiedTSi]

those colors are gonna look nice too

[krzydrftr93]

Go with the ferrari red

[h22d_hatch]

Both of those reds will look really good.

Hmmm...Jim did you decide to get rid of something??

[weshole]

I like the Corvette red over the Ferarri red.

Ferrari red. They are famous for their red. Choose Ferrari and you won't be sorry.

Tonights Update. I am about 70% done with the body work and sanding. I had a handful of dents to fix and found some rust holes under the trim I had to weld new sheet metal in, Otherwise its comming good, almost got the body itself done, but haven't even starter on the bumper covers or trim yet. Still hoping to have primer shot this sunday and paint laid before next weekend. Its gunna be a fairly nice car. Now only if I can complete the interior, I would be set.

I ordered a set of Neuspeed Lowing spring and hope to have new wheels ordered next month.
