Wet photo shoot of the silver z "Pacific Mills"
 

After years of having this car I always wanted to have some nice pics taken other than the usual camera phone pics. I finally have more time and got the car mostly how I want it to look with the exception of a few small changes planned for the winter. My buddy santa has been getting into photography as a hobby lately and wanted to take some of my car. So here you go, background is the industrial Pacific Mill in my hometown area in Lawrence MA, a rainy, cold night out on the streets with his waterproof camera at 1AM and people looking at us like we were crazy.

He says there may be more coming as he edits them. But for now these make me happy :3

Awesome pics! The 2nd one is my favorite.

If your buddy is just getting into photography, he is off to a GREAT start!

Yeah he has some talent with it for sure, these new digital SLR cameras have a much steeper learning curve. You can review the photos as your shooting, so we could just see the quality getting better and better after just a few shoots.

I cant decide which is my favorite but I like the 2nd one a lot with the sign in the background. I love it down there, so much history.

Looks great man. Love seeing good quality photoshoots done

Me too, I post pics less lately because I want to save it for good quality.

Yeah I just dump the excess on my Instagram. Haven't taken decent pictures for a long timee

too bad the car in the photos is a heap of crap. good pictures though. would be better if it was a 5.0 coyote!!

That is some major ball-busting. You know you love it!!!

Wow! Very impressive photos. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great man!

Thanks guys, its come a long way from the start, time to make some more power hehee :klab:

I need to bring my car out and have your friend shoot mine. I would pay money for photos like yours.

Klab, just buy a drag car and leave yours the way it is. I really can't remember seeing a cleaner lt1 thats a driver and not just a show car.

Thanks guys, its gonna stay a street car for sure. Thinking 24x and cam, maybe ported heads. Mid - low 11 sec street car. Just gotta do up the engine bay, its gross under the hood lol. I'd like to do the LS1 dash / ebony swap with the 24x swap so its just an LT1 controlled by a newer system, its really tough to t decide with how mint my interior is, but its ugly light grey ;(

no cam, just leave it be, its more impressive as a mid 12 full weight bolt on lt1!

just build an ls if your gonna go heads and cam, it would be silly not to i feel, extra 100 hp lol

enough with the stupid 24x bullshit. haha

So spend 3k plus to do an LS1 swap, then 3k for heads and cam, vs 2k for LT1 heads and cam..

It should be low 12s if I keep it bolt on only and do the few more things I have in mind.

:klab:

Great shots, makes me want an SLR

no ls1 swap, buy another car to go fast in and leave that one alone lol

Or just buy mine and chop it up however you like

bump, i like how your tail lights are totally blacked out. I want to put a light tint on my taillights similar to yours. Can you tell me the products and the steps you used?

Thanks man. They're not totally blacked out tho.. I taped off the reverse light section and sprayed some black / clear mix I forget the mixture (you can use the VHT nite shades stuff from advance auto), then clear coat after taking the tape off. I did this way back, it seems to have faded since then. I want to re-do them. Here is in ~2009 when I did them haha
