Default 99 Update -- lots of Pics

I haven't posted up any recent pics of my car in a while.

I've done quite a bit...


Some older but recent shots. I got new wheels, panted the calipers and drums, ventshades, made STB's...etc etc etc.

Don't mind the swirl mark...














Here's the most recent pics. I got rid of the pinstripe and the molding. It makes it look cleaner IMO.



And I made a FWI




Interior pics coming tomorrow.

your monte's coming along very nicely. i was wondering how it was coming along, too.
theres a set of AM mags just like yours on craigslist by me for $75, i thought they were ugly till i saw them on your car. they look great! i have to ask, though, whats the silver bar going between the strut towers? i assume its for handeling porpuses, does it work?

i can't wait to see the interior, man!

Great looking car man. Its really coming alot nice.

Ryan. That silver bar you are talking about is to stiffen up the suspension. Especially when you are making turns. I'll be getting me one soon.

But again, I really like your 5th Gen.

ya, where did you get the sway bar thingy? How did you creat the chevy logos on the reflective strip? Just painted it? Also the pin stripe really does add some more badassness to the car.

Thanks for the comments all.

The sway bar is custom made. I just bent some pipe to get the main bar. Then I cut out the brackets and welded them to the bar. A little bit of paint and there you go!

The bow ties were masked off when I panted the rear panel. I took the tape off before I cleared the whole panel.

And I hated the brown pinstripe.
