Some new pics of the restoration...

Hey I figured I would post a few pictures of my project T/A. Ive been working on it everytime Ive been back home from college since September. The exterior is really coming together. The original paint is still in good shape, the more I buff it the more of a reflection I can see (it is starting to look damn good). My latest project was the wheels. I stripped them, repolished the outer lip, repainted the center with a darker gold, and topped it off with a few coats of clear. I was very impressed with the outcome and I like the deeper contrast it gives. Oh and the dark marks on the front bumper are from me wetsanding out a few wrinkles in the paint, the nosecone will eventually be repainted. I plan on completely restoring it to show quality with the addition of a 383 Stroker/T56 combo, along with a few suspension upgrades. Here are some of the pictures. Let me know what you guys think.

Fixed, turns out it was because I use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
