Re: Famaro project....
Wow! I can't wait to see what this looks like when it's finished. I have to say, it gives the car a real vintage look, this was a brilliant idea.
Good luck and keep the pics coming, I like living vicariously!

Re: Famaro project....
Very nice color! Just hate the front/rear wheel well opening differences.Throws the whole body line out of balance IMO. I'm talking about the area above the tires if anyone is confused.Those areas are way different between camaro and firebird(obviously)
Just my opinion....
