I used to post here under MR. JORDAN, but seem to be having problems with that account(no big deal).Any way just like to say hey, and post a link to a new page to my cardomain account. There are some pics of the New hood, and detailed engine bay.

What do you think of the progress so far?

Cheers people! Jordan.

I remember that car... very nice.

Thanks! It would have been a lot better if the wind would have stopped, and the smoke stuck around. It all just blew off the bridge.

No biggie! I'll get a better one sometime I'm sure. Perhaps with some doughnut action? LOL

Cheers.....

I absolutely hate yellow!!! Not a fan of birds or GTAs either ((though I definetly respect them especially when someone puts time and effort into them)). That was until I saw your car!!! That is a beautiful car. Leave it the way it is. I think stripes or something would ruin it and Im a huge fan of stripes. Good work!!

Well I was never a fan of the color keyed body side molding, go with black side molding from the 85/86's. that's the trouble with the Firebirds....no real place to have contrasting colors. IROC's have the black hood louvers, door decals and the non polished wheel insides.
If you had the 91/92 nose you'd at least have the 2 black inserts by the driving lights/turn signals.
