86newbie · 10-01-2008, 02:40 AM

i got the car all painted (omoha orange) and it looks pretty good. also i want to redo the head and use the chromatic head gasket so i can run a little more boost. is there any threads on here that would go into detail on how to do this. or website or something someone can direct me to. thanks a ton.

That's looking very sharp Newbie, just picked up a 1989 myself. I had an 87 turbo years ago and now getting back into these cars and it reminds me how I fell in love with them years ago. How many hours did you put into that paint job it looks very professional but of course i'm looking at a very small image.

it took me about a month. i'v painted a few cars so i have a little experience with paint. up close there was a some small mistaked but for the most part i think it looks pretty good. now that i'v looked into building this motor i'm a little discouraged on how much it cost for parts on this motor. anyway, right now i'm painting a 93 lt1 camaro i just picked up

i'm going black with it. i love working with cars lol
