Thanks man, I appreciate it. I know I must do something about the interior, hopefully this summer

Although, "probabional" is something I've never heard before

Ha ha haaaa... dammed comedians around here
I swear... I really do have a hood for my car
To be honest.. I'm somewhat suprised (and appreciative) I got any votes considering all the extremely nice 'birds the others have (that are done) and my heap is still in pieces and parts (though hard to tell in the one pic I posted).
I have a half-baked cowl idea I'd like to try 1st but, after that.. I'll paint it and put it on.. promise

I must say Im honored to make a few lists. Its so hard to pick favorites. There are little things I love about a tons of cars on this site. A few of my favorite and inspirations are the following:

Willie's 87 IROC - with the bitchen 305 that kill's them all and a sleak clean stock like look.
CrazyHawaiian - car looks killer and backs it up
ChevyKen - vert, tt2's just simply badass

And finally the owner of this car. forget the screen name but he is from Germany. The car is gorgeous! When I saw this I knew mine had to be black. No doubt about it. (sorry for the pic, if you know the owners screen name let me know. I'll remove it.)

that's a great looking car. something about an all black thirdgen with really sharp polished/chrome wheels that just looks mean. clean and understated!


sharp....

i think there should be one more thread. open a new one. then haveit closed. but make sure there is a poll in it with every bodies car here listed. or have everybody vote for like 3 cars. because choosing one car is way to hard for me.

Camaro's
Fatal88 - My vote for best thirdgen, period!
Tpiroc - (makes sound like homer drooling)
Graboid - 'vert baby!
CrazyHawaiian -

The above camaro's are what inspired the $18k restoration of my car.

Firebird's
Redraif - Very unique, though it needs a V8
Sonar_un
Flyinlow89

I'm not really a bird guy, but you can't beat a good digital dash GTA

I think there should be a poll thread for camaro and firebird in which the top 10 of each can post pictures (more than 1 but less than 4) of their rides. I also REALLY want this to happen after mid-March...but that's just because I'll have much better pics by then.

Deadbird and Kandied91z are the best, hands down. Maybe next year I'll have the white diamond pearl. Then I might get a mention,lol. Nay, my car needs much more than paint

I think it is too hard to narrow do to just the nicest camaro and firebird. I think there should be different categorizes such as the way I posted earlier! That was everyone gets a fair vote! Just my 2 cents

You could also break it down into classes. Kind of like a car show. "Stock", "Super Stock", "Modified", and "WTF"!
