Refinishing the LT5

[Daniel_Mc]

Looks great, Daniel. Every time I see pictures of your car, I kick myself, as I was bidding on it the first time it was listed on ebay. Just didn't have the coin to meet the reserve though.

Thank you! I looked forever for the right Z and a really glad this one worked out. Would you happen to have any old pictures of it? I have been looking for anything I can find related to the Z. I was told it was in a magazine article in the 90's but have never been able to confirm that.

Good L00KING car, love the krinkle black engine. We know that white car's are just naturally faster than the rest of the pack

LOL Thanks Frank

Much better Daniel

TY!

BTW if anyone has pictures or anything on this Z please let me know!

As a noob here, I haven't seen your car before. I really like the ZR-1 decal on the rear fender. I don't usually like that sort of thing, but the red on the white goes great! Oh, the black LT5 is nice too

Thanks I enjoyed the nice thread about you and your wife bringing the Z home. I always like to see that sort of thing. The decal on the quarters is the ZR-1 Splash logo it was originally on the Z but a couple of owners back it was removed along with most of the distinct markings that the Z had. Not to mention the custom exhaust and coilovers I am going back with most of the markings (not really liking the white out lights) and will make my own exhaust to mimic the original. The coilovers will also be reinstalled. The Splash logo in the quarters is still not 100% correct but I can not locate the original ZR-1 Splash in a high enough resolution to have it cut so this one will have to do for now. I was quite apprehensive about putting it on I had mixed feelings looking over the pictures but once it was on I loved it. Here is a little more detail on the Dieline ZR-1 Thank you again for the kind words!

Robert,
I have used Mike several times and his work is outstanding. He has great attention to deal, is very reasonable, and easy to deal with. Turn around is quick as well. The first time I used him was for the L98 parts in our 89 and it all looked KILLER when he was done with them. Here is his website http://www.thepowdercoater.com/ when you are ready give him a shout and see what he can do. I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.

Wow!, Daniel!

Thanks Brett!!! I can't wait to see your Z in person

Amazing looking Z. The dymags look great and the ZR-1 splash on the rear quarter looks good as well. Looking forward to seeing at BG.

Beautiful car. I've got a white one, and if you ever get sick of those Dymags, let me know, wow

I'm tempted to make some smartass comment about the ZR-1 sign on the fender but I'll just shut my mouth.

Bob,

Thanks but the Dymags came with the Z originally so I wouldn't think of separating them from the car. I do have a set of Gen I Dymags that have been totally refinished and never mounted on a car since refinishing (never even had tires mounted). Would you be interested in that style? They are for a ZR-1 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear with proper offsets.

The splash was originally on the car as well and I always thought it looked very 80's early 90's Miami Vice or Hawaii 5-0. Then the more I looked at the old pictures the more I liked it I also like how the logo makes the Z stand out a bit more.
