NICE! It's like a 1:1 scale model kit. Just keep the model airplane glue fingerprints off the windshield when you install it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
 

I think you should go with a stars-and-stripes USA theme to enhance that white paint. Wide blue strip over the car with red bordering stripes and stars in the blue.

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
 

Bill -- LOL. Back in the 70s' I painted a customers Vette much like that ... he was in the Air Force and he called the car &quot;Captain America&quot;. TAZ

Too bad is does not have a Pioneer Super Tuner with some Kraco's on the back deck!

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
 

Hey Dan,

The car is looking great. I have a 79 Z28 with the same color interior. Do you mind me asking where you purchased the carpet and head liner? Could you post a photo of the head liner for me?

Thanks.

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
 

My 79 z was also white outside withe the same blue guts but the interior was shot so it's black on black now. Dan can't wait till see it finished

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
 

Yellow Lakewoods for sure.

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
 

You can't go wrong with any choice here. I think it might look a bit more uniform with the red underside to choose either of the Ansen bars. Though I might consider painting whichever is his favorite ones white hang them.

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
 

All great suggestions - keep them coming [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Making a decision soon.

Re: My newest build - 1979 "Day2" Z-28 Camaro
