Last nice day of Fall, grabbed some pix
Today I looked at the forecast, it's not lookin so good..so I cleaned up the car and drove out to the sticks for a nice little cruise. Grabbed some pics also...
This winter I will be doing the one peice Monte LS headlights, Weld Pro stars 15x8 rear 15x5 front with Hoosier QTP's, and hopefully will get started on my interior. For that I'm planning on 4th gen TA leather and custom door panels (with flames). But this all depends on the $$ situation
Any comments or suggestions feel free!!

Next couple pics the flames are hidin' pretty well
-
This one shows the Gold Pearl in the tips really well
And my signature w/ my baby in the distance
I figure once I get the new wheels on and interior it should be almost complete, cosmetically. Once again any comments feel free

Looks great! I wouldn't do the monte carlo light thing though, the stock lights are staggered to match the nose of the car whereas you can't do that with one piece lights. JMHO...

One BIG reason I don't wanna do the Monte LS lights it because another guy in my area has them on his car, and that would be kinda lame if I "copied" him.
And thanks!

One thing left to make your car complete....
You need wheels. BAD.
Your car would look great with some weld Pro Stars or Draglites on it. If you want to retain the 15's and the drag look.
EDIT: LOL!
Didn't see that you already have welds planned! LOL. We must have like tastes.

I second the rim suggestion
not a fan of those style camaro wheels. A good set of Iroc rims 88-90 style or even the 85-87 style would look good. Also some drag wheels would look great too. just lower it abit to fill the wheel wells.
Other than that, you got a real nice car.

Thanks for the comments. I think I've made my decision with the Weld Pro Stars all around. 15x5 front 15x8 rear. I mounted some on when i went to the track and the car just looked gorgeous with them

Don't you love when other people try to steal your thread
Anyway, your car looks awesome. Some new rims will definately look much better, I can't wait to see it next year.

Once the car is off the road next weekend, I think I will be doing a few things in the engine bay... I will probably polish the sides of my plenum and re-touch a few spots on the paint also.
I have thought of lowering, but was wondering about driveability (especially here in New England
) and also I was wondering if it would hurt my times at the 1/4 at all? Especially 60 foot? Any input would be appreciatedThanks for the comments guys keep em coming

Considering you have my favorite car on the boards, you would think that I would have asked you this already.
Is that a 3" cowl?
It looks like it but it's kinda hard to tell.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to "steal your thread". I just thought since he was showing his pics in the fall, I'd show mine. I guess that's a no-no!!
Anyway, sorry

Thanks man its actually supposed to be a 4" but it looks smaller than most. It definitely looks smaller than a Harwood 4" but I beleive thats because of the slightly different shape.And nick418 come down next spring we have a really good car scene around Worcester!
car looks simpley awsome man. i love what u have done with it. nice burnout marks. as for the changes keep the stock 4 style headlights. the biggie small combo with weld pro stars will really finish off the appearance of your car. i cannot wait to see it. either pro stars or draglites. as for suspension keep it stock height so u can still click off the low 13's on that mean 305! as for interior im not a fan of the 4th geb style interiors at all. thats what everybodys going to. keep the regular thirdgen style and get it redone red like it is now. looks great man keep up the good work. u should see if someone can photochop the weld rims onto your car. i would like to see it.
