The secret project!
Monday, November 28, 2011 2:32 PM
SeamlessZ24 is back! I got the car back this summer.... kept it a secret till now.... im going to re-do the car again this winter. Plans are to re-paint the car more of a settle color, getting the seats re-upholstered, modifing the bc2 front. The guy who bought this car called me this summer and asked if i would like to buy the car back i said no i didnt have the money, so he loved the quality of my work, and asked if i would do a restoration job on his camaro for a trade...... pretty cool.

heres the begining of the front bumper, filled all the holes with fiberglass and chop matt, and filled the gap where the hood meets the bumper. I will eventualy cut holes out for a custom grill, unless the all shaved look turns out good? Also plan on making a hood to actualy line up with the lights.

cool to see it back, and i'm glad you're having the seats redone, you always did nice work, i just didn't necessarily always like the style

Paint that up and it'll look like you have an EV1.



Cool work. Ever since I got my car I've wanted the bumper to flow into the hood without a gap.

Mike, make an air diverter under the car to have the air flow up to the radiator. A few people that run a full fiberglass front have done this, but they are normally on dedicated race cars.

Paint the catcher black like old muscle car people do, and you can hardly see it.

make sure you post allot of pics, will be fun seeing someone doing some heavy modding again. as for a more subtle color. its a seamless chop top show piece. nothing about it is subtle.

Yes - lots of pics it's always interesting to watch you as you progress through the stages.

Agreed with above by the way - the car in itself stands out, why not keep it a standout colour? I wasn't a fan of that green you used but this orange/yellow has always been fantastic on this version of your car. I really hope you don't go super-subtle, I don't think it would suit.

Im planning on painting the car the brightest white as possible, with a satin finish. Everything will be black and white satin. I disagree with a standout bright color like the orange because it takes away from all the extreme body work that has been done. I think the white will be loud still, but very clean looking.

But your body work seems so nice and white is known for hiding flaws in the body work.

i don't think it takes away. i think it works with it. a more bland color will just make it seem less of a standout. bright orang/yellow like u had is something that will pop even if your on the other side of a parking lot or field. satin white. would just get a glance over and probalby wouldnt even pull my eyes to it. ive seen some really good cars that just end up looking more boring with a bland paintjob. just my opinion. i mean nothing is going to hide the amount of work youve done. it has no top and no doors.

Can't wait to see this car again. I loved the color u have on it now. Never seen a picture of it show the true color as in person. I'm sure it will look great in any color.

I miss the lime green color. Can't wait to see what you do with it next!
