Some of you may remember me on here from about 8 years ago under the name GlowinCavy. Pic:

It was my first cav that I took to modifying pretty heavily. Took first in my class in almost every show I went to back then. Turboed it when that was a pretty damn rare thing to have on a j-body. Only a hand full of us where boosted back then. I was running about 8lbs boost for a while, but as we all know, you eventually want more. I ended up tearing into the engine and rebuilding everything bigger and better. Tranny was an auto, so I had a "tranny guy" rebuilt the stock 4t40e so it could handle the 400+whp I was shooting for. Well he ended up giving me back a grand am tranny that wouldn't work. So long story short, I lost motivation, got out of the scene, and that car sat for about 7-8 years waiting for the newly rebuilt engine and a tranny to go in. The boost bug bit me again when I decided to boost my daily driver (Dodge Nitro) so I said it was time to finish the cav. I ended up buying a coupe and transferring everything I wanted over. After a few months of work on the new setup and a ton of body work, its finally done. My first time painting a car too, but turned out pretty good all in all. I did a bright white with silver pearl and a light coat of pearl over the carbon on the hood and bumper. Well with all that said, I'll let the pics finish the story of how it turned out.

Looks killer man. Love it. Not a huge fan of the fenders or lack of tails but super clean bay and outside

Nice! I remember seeing your car at bling fling in Lorain ohio

Nice! Love the color, looks like you did great on the paint.

car looks good some advice for future paint jobs if you look at the pic of the hood you can see what appears to be clouds in it thats because there wasnt an even coat of clear applied

I recall the OG, love the new, amazed it's still around.

Thanks everyone.

Seamless-Yeah I remember seeing yours there too. Either orange or maybe even green way back then. That was a fun night. Good times. They put me in the wrong class there. I took first in Import mild instead of being in domestic wild like usual. I think you too first in that class IIRC.

MIllerBilt- Yeah, I know. Its not really noticeable in person though. That was with just one light coat too. I did 2 coast on the bumper to smooth that out, but that ended up being too much pearl for my liking, so the hook only got the one. Mix less pearl if going over carbon. Lesson learned.

I remember you from way back when. Welcome back dude. What happened with the vert shell?

The graphics on the vert were painted on (kandy). It got keyed, so I ended up sanding all the paint off to start over since I wasn't able to ever match the kandy. That was about 8 years ago. I ended up scrapping the vert since it really wasn't in the condition I wanted any more.

Clean car. Only changes I would make is a wing (00-02), and toyota tails.
