New Pics! Flame Red Metallic Pearlcoat

Took the car out for a spin today with a friend who had a digi-cam. The car needs ALOT of wetsanding, and a couple touchups - but it will do for now. Enjoy!

The car is dirty actually. These were taken on a whim yesterday and I didn't feel like spending the money to wash it.

The pics were taken in Fayetteville, Arkansas - GO HOGS!

I'm working on the wetsanding thing. Just gotta find a good bodyshop and some money. I'll be dropping her off.

I like the idea of a hood bird - just not on a GTA. The only thing she'll be getting are a new set of emblems. That will finish her off.

Axle/Gears: ones with teeth
forget the bodyshop for wet sand look into car detail shops most areas have em. They can detail the entire car for ya. Usualy cost 100.00 or so but with wet sand it will be a few more buck.

right click- save indeed! The fourth pic is amazing.. the one where it's dark from the side view. It makes it look very mean and actually looks like an old 70s musclecar for some reason in that pic. Maybe it's just me that sees it that way. great angle pictures, great car... great lines on the RA I hood. I'm envious :hail:
