Very nice.

I'm not sure how far you guys are into DE, but check out the MId Atlantic board for my posts, we're having a 3rd Gen gathering on the 27th, looks like there will be close to 20 of us going. It's at a local car show, with about 50 other cars.

Get web free web space! search www.google.com for "free web space" then when you have you pic loaded right click it and go to properties. copy the location, use this HTML tag to post the big pic. BTW dont use the dots, I have to put them there so you can see the tag. here it is


.<.img. .src.=.here is where the location of you pic on the web.>.


Well this is how I do it.

They still are not as smooth as I want them to be, but they will give you an idea.

Zupman, me and a friend of mine did the work. I did all of the body work primed it. Then I had my friend Keith paint it and lay out the flames. Then we both sanded it down and buffed it out. A lotta work, but it is worth it.

Any plans to open the the hood or at least paint the insert thing black? I think it would look much better.

Also, what kinda mods does it have?

Ringmaster??

hey ringmaster, I too live in delaware. In woodside to be exact. I think i have seen your car go by my house a couple of times. It is one pretty *** car. Did you ever have stripes on it? Because there is a car that looks exactly like yours at Price honda all the time.

89Iroc, it took a couple of weeks to get it all ready and to paint it. That is working on it at night after work and everything. It takes a lot of time, but it is worth it in the end.

Redbird, I think it is pretty loud, it is the American Thunder Flowmaster exhaust, 3 inches all the way. It is a smooth sound too, similar to 5.0s(i hate to type that, but they do sound good).

Bluegrassz, it is called bright blue pearl metallic. It is actually the blue that is on a lot of Dodge pickups and some neons, that is how I chose it. Since it is a pearl, it looks darker when there is less light and it lightens up with more light.

Ringmaster,
This Saturday there is a car show sponsored by delrods at the greentree shopping center on Rt8. I'll have both my iroc and my mustang there. The show starts at 9:00 am, and then theres a cruise in that starts later in the evening. You should come out so we can all drool over your car in person.

That goes for you too Ian....
