First 2008 pics of my V6 Bird

Yesterday I got home from work today at 5:20pm. I knew the car needed some wax. After an hour later of washing and waxing I took the car to a new school that was built. I have been waiting to do this since nov. But at that time I wanted to go we had snow and then the car was put away for the winter. So now the time came.When ever i get the chance i try to take some car shots. I want to keep practing until I can figure out how to take some pro like looking shots. I made it to this location by the nick of time. The sun was just setting. Give me some feed back.





This image someone photoshopped the lines out, I didn't like how the yellow lines didnt run straight to the building doors.

I would consider the car sweet if it actually ran faster than 16.9secs in the 1/4mile, one day it will be quick

Re: First 2008 pics of my V6 Bird

So was it yesterday or today??

Nice bird. Why did you put the non-appearance package front bumper cover on and keep the rest of the ground effects on the car? Just wondering. Doesn't look bad, just incomplete.

The front bumper and hood got crushed in a minor accident, I couldnt find the ground effect front bumper, so i bought the front bumper and hood off a 91 formula, since then I have purchased the front ground effect bumper to put onto the car. Once i get the time to have it repainted I can make the car have a complete look. But I am keeping the cowl hood on the car. My plan is to make the car into a 92 firehawk clone. As it sits now the car doesnt look bad.

P.s. the front bumper it should have I bought for the greatest deal, those bumpers go for a least $800 , i bought mine for $50 from a friend and its nearly perfect. not a defect in it.

I have never been a fan of anything with < V8 in it, but your car looks really nice.
Great Job.

Nice background choice too.

Great Pics. I was reading an article in Hot Rod Mag about the right way to take pictures and they did mention that sunrise and sunset were the best times. Your pics certainly prove that theory!

Yes, they do run around that time. Mine ran a 17.2 which is ridiculous. V6 Mustangs are faster(atleast the 93 and up are). but not by much.
Back on Topic...so have you painted the front bumper yet? There is a car somewhere on these boards that has the look your going for. Has the Ronal Firehawk wheels and ground effects. Looks good.
