I thought about doing a lot of work on that '95 3.4L I had, but after doing the cost/benefit analysis, it made more sense to get a newer 3.8L. But hey, whatever makes you happy!

Haven't heard that one before. But to get the back rims on you need to shave down the lip around the large whole in the rim. That's what I had to do with my newer Camaro rims.

he's not putting his money into making it fast (which would be a lost cause) but he's putting his money into making it a cool-looking cruiser that he can enjoy, be proud of, and have some fun with. I approve

Thanks Spartan.

3800Camaro: I did have a huge issue getting the rear wheel on. I actually gave up on it after about 20 minutes. That's why in the pic you only see the front wheel. LOL I had planned on shaving them down when I buy them. How much will I have to shave off?

It's only 3-4mm that new to go. Such a small amount.

Chaotic,

Where did you get the paint and supplies for your front bumper? I need to repaint mine, and only have the touch-up paint for my quarter panel repair available.

I understand that you have to use a special paint for the bumpers.

I went to my local paint shop and had them mix up a can of rattle can paint to my cars color code. It wasnt special paint. Just matching for my color code. I used duplicolor clear coat from oreillys.
