Project: Oryzavore aka Rice-eater

[68MaroSam]

Hi guys, My name is Sam. I have had a project thread going on in Pro-Touring for awhile under the name Bodacious. I have recently changed the name of my project to a name I sort of made up. It is derived from the scientific name of rice Oryza and the name extention vore meaning an animal that eats or lives on said item. Think carnivore, herbivore. Well Oryzavore is now my project name.

68 Camaro
LS1/T56
Lots of body mods, shaved drip rails, door handles, lower front valence, rear spoiler...
Hope to paint this in a few weeks

Hope the pics come out, because I am new at using imgur.

Thank you Wayne, I have occasionally browsed this site, but I don't think I ever started a thread here till today.

Thanks Adam, I don't see a link to a build thread for you. Do you have one? I am always up for seeing other builds.

Sorry, but I’ve been terrible about posting upgrades since I bought the car partly b/c I’d be embarassed with my limited skills compared to others on this site. PM me if you any specific questions.

Did some painting to the jambs the other day to get it ready to do the exterior. This is 2013 Corvette Cobalt Gray. Will be adding black stripe and the second color of the two tone I am planning is HOK Cobalt blue.

They look great Sam, nice job.

Good choice on the color. I think it'll look great especially if you're planning to do a pin stripe around the blue stripes to help set the colors off.

It has been awhile since I updated this build. I have recently built some mirrors for my car. I had wired it for electric mirrors so, I wanted these to be electric. I got mirrors at a pic a part off of an mid 2000's Buick. They were window mounted, and I needed door mounted. So, I fabbed up a door mount. I will have to get pics here of the finished and painted mirrors later. I don't have any pics here of them done.
Here are the steps I took.
