The front bumper has really grown on me. The car looks great.

Hiya Troy and Lisa,
I dropped by Archie's today when I was in Rockford and got a look and Lisa's new ride. All I can say is WOW!

The paint choice was out of the park! It oozes sophistication. Top notch
Rob's dash is unreal, even better in person and the photos simply don't do it justice.
The front bumper is incredible, how Archies guys got it done so perfectly without a mold is astonishing
The door cards Archie's crew did are amazing, They look the part
The side mirrors have me convinced that the stock Camaro units are the way to go. The custom pieces look nice but they are going to be a giant PITA to see out of and let's face it, the stock Camaro units are really nice. I think their scale is much better suits for the lines of the Entera, but that is only my opinion.

Well done, you will be thrilled to have this beauty in your stable

Dr. W.

Thanks Will,
we are going to paint both sets of mirrors to match the car . I think the concept mirrors will look good once they are painted but its hard to say as someone has not sent me pics of them mounted with a frontal view . As far as visibility I've been on many Camaro forums and they say that the curvature of the glass gives you a similar view as stock. Once again LadyLisa will have a choice, I just hope she understands that I cant change them like Earrings she is already asking about a wall mounted tire rack for her "sets of rims"

Let me say that we LOVE LOVE the look of the concept mirrors!! I was apprehensive about the visibility due to the size but they are curved and the visibility isn't an issue. Top that with a tight paint job and ghosted LED markers ...this is a win. One of my favorite mods so far.

I am so impressed with the direction that this build has taken. Troy, both you and Lisa have guided this build to greatness. I have loved the Enterra Vipre ever since I saw my first one 3 years ago. I will probably keep mine a little closer to original but I doubt I ever get it as perfected as you guys have done. My main goal is to get mine to daily driver and drive the crap out of it. I hope to have the most bichin Northstar build ever as these engines wound out with the right exhaust are hypnotic and addicting to wind them way up. My 2000 STS has been called the Ferrari of Cadillacs. The Magnaflows with a high flow cat are deep throated wonders. Hope I can use something similar on my Enterra. Chevys are powerful great motors but I like the 4 cam sound and and the higher rpm scream of the Northstar. Sounds alot more like a Ferrari or Lamborgini. Closest I will get to that kind of performance car with the Enterra. I would really like to see your cars and get a ride someday. They are both beautiful. Happy driving and I hope you do drive and enjoy what you have built. ;-))

Oh almost forgot. I agree with Dr. W. With the limited side view in these cars, good side mirrors are your best friend. I would opt for the bigger mirrors and add a wide view mirror on the mirror. Just my opinion but after driving mine for a while this is what I will do to stay safer, even though I go faster than most others. Bikes are fast and hard to see if their in your blind spot. Safe driving.

Dave do you have any pictures of your Enterra? Does it have the complete stock Enterra interior? I've seen pictures of Enterras that owners have switched back to stock Fiero interior door panels . It would be nice to see another Enterra build/restore thread.

We had to pull the car outside today so we could shoot some primer on the mirrors.

Yes, I got pics in the Sun.

Wanna see 'em?

Come back tonight.

Here we go.

The sun was going in & out of clouds, the Pearl whows real good in the direct sunlight.

These pics don't really do it justice.
