FINALLY! Pictures

I finally got a break in the rain so I washed and waxed the Fomula sunday. Monday I brought the Camaro out between rainstorms and washed it up over at my parents house. I took both cars out back and snapped some shots. I took about 80 something pictures. Here are the ones I have uploaded so far. I have to edit the rest of them but Ill get more up soon.
















So there are my two babies together. I also tossed in a pic of them with m Silverado ( the front end is in primer right now). They look pretty cool all together.

Thanks! I know I'm the oddball out here but I like the side moulding. Plus I drive the Formula to the store and what not sometimes and it helps prevent dents from idiots

Thanks everyone. The bra is on the camaro because she is missing a corner on the front GFX due to stupid ice on the road and a light pole some idiot installed on the side of the road. So once I get a new piece and get it painted the bra will be off.

My parents use to have a 88 or 89 TA with a bra on it but we changed it around and used the nose cover and the cover on the hood left the light covers off due to shipping the wrong ones 3 times. it was sharp looking, but i still dont care for the covers. Maybe because of too many crappy lookin ones. What do you use to make your cars shine.

I'm bored so i'll bring this back form the dead

The engine is the Formula is a L98 from a 92 GTA that has 50,000 miles on it. The internals are all stock, had the heads rebuilt with new seals and whatnot and had them decked. Other then that its stock inside. Took off the AC & smog pumps. K&N cone filter, test pipe, and 3" flowmaster catback. It also has the super AUJP chip with a Moates adapter. It has a shift kit that was in there when I bought the car and it chirps the tires hard.

The IROC has its original L98 punched .030 over wither otherwise stock internals. Hypertech chip, MSD6A, MSD Pro-Billet distributor, MSD 8mm wires, MSD blaster coil, TB airfoil, Edelbrock TES shorty headers, gutted cat, 3" flowmaster catback, B&M megashifter, TH350 trans with B&M shift kit, 9 bolt with 3.45 gears, Hal 12 way shocks, Lakewood boxed LCA's and a NOS wet kit jetted at 150hp. It ran 13.8 on motor with the old 700R4 & 2.77 gears.

Both intakes are painted with Duplicolor Metalcast paint (IROC red, Formy gray). The block and heads on the Formy are 500* semigloss black duplicolor and all the accesories are duplicolor 500* aluminum paint. i think thats about it. I still dont have any updated pics though i'm lazy.
