Hey, thanks, that was taken about 10 years ago.
Since then, I've repainted it and am in the middle
of getting the 350 installed, and putting the Pro-Kit
springs in it, as you can see, it really needs to be
lowered

As far as the mudflaps go, your probably right, but
even the paved roads in my area pose a hazard of
picking up a rock chip. And as a painter, I'll put up
with the flaps, to save my new paint

looks pretty clean, my father primed the car im driving now, an 89 firebird, about 3 years ago, and its stayed that way ever since. never got the want to finish it i guess, so it feels good to see another third gen firebird get painted all the way LOL

i like your bird though, the 82-84s are nice when taken care of.

I love it! That is the exact style of Trans Am I want. Black and red.

Love the looks of your car. Even though the pic is 10years old and your car probably doesn't look like that anymore.

Oh, and I like the front blackouts!

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it really
means alot to hear from so many of you!

Even though I have repainted it, my car still looks
very much the same now, as it does in that old pic.

It now has the benefit of a base coat/clear coat
finish, new door & t-top weather strip, and no more
door dings & minor rust, and it's all one color now,
before, it had 5 different shades of red on it

I got to get the hang of this picture posting thing
a little better, and put up some more resent photos.

As far as the blackouts go, I almost forgot that they
were on in the pic, and it has been so long since that
I bought them (1988 maybe), that I don't really remember
where I bought them,sorry
