WOW....that looks amazing. How did you do the hood locking dilly, when you took out that front plate? I have been wanting to do this to my bird, because it had cracked, and now continues to rip.

That has got to be one of the best on the boards. Love the badges and engine bay. Hell I love the whole car. My only complaint is too the taillights. But maybe it will grow on me. Anyways it's your car and its amazing. Keep up the great work. Maybe a second third gen project

Looks very nice. Did you paint the calipers red like that or is that how it was. Did you make the emblems yourself or is there some place to buy them? My only complaints on the entire car are the yellow part of the taillights and those three little guages in the car. Other than that the entire car is flawless.

i seen your cardomain page and was wondering how you took your taillights apart and resealed them? I'm thinking about doing that to my project car because i want everything to look close to brand new. taillights are in good shape but i seen some of the stuff flaking off the inside.

Thanks for the replies Boy's & Girl's, I'm glad you like it.
Calipers were painted red, Badges were made from a friend of mine, Rims are 17x7 front & 17x 8 (-11 offset) rear, Tires are 225/45/17 front & 245/45/17 rear. about the clear fender lenses I'm considering it.
Now I know that some of you don't like the tail-lights and the yellow head-light pockets...but hey it's personal preference and that's what makes it unique!

Buy some chrome paint and adhesive and put it back together.

Since there is no such thing as a "mild" 383 (when it comes to torque, anyway), what are you doing to reinforce the floor? In the one photo of the underside, the SFCs aren't obvious. You've got the nice STB solving the front end issues, and should have something under floor if it isn't already there. I'd hate to see all that hard work and nice finish begin cracking at the T-top corners and wrinkling the sail panels.
All in all, there's another nice F-Body in the north.

That looks amazzzing! I love everything (except for the tails) but they look clean the way you did them. I would put some clear side markers on it and call it a day.
Awesome work

Theres not alot left to be said however I love your car. I find yellow is the hardest color too look good on a thirdgen and you did an awesome job. Leave the car the way YOU like it. IMO I think you should remove the yellow on the tail lights and tint them ( I'd also tint the side markers as well). But, way to go it looks incredable....

Car looks great...But.. Like others have already said...black headlight pockets... would add a lot to the front end. The photo Gr89RS posted speaks for it self.
But its your car and if you like it that way then thats all that matters right.
The Billet emblems really look good on the yellow. They would look great on black too i bet.
