I finally figured out a way to post pics with my archaic webtv.

Very nice, I love the color, the originality of the notchback and those rims. Hey if a similarly painted 83 TA with gold rims pulls next to ya, say what's up. I'm sure I'll see you around the streets this summer. Makes you wish the cops hadn't shut down 86th street to cruisin'. O the good ol days.

Hey, Nightcruzer
I know what you talkin'baut as far as 86th street. It was a great place to pick-up "loose" LI and Jersey girls, as well as local broads. Better than any club or bar. I used to hang by the Fotomat stand(The Parking Lot) through the mid/late 80s, up until the end. I used to live on Cropsey and Bay 26.3 blocks away from the party.
Send me a pick of your 83 TA and I'll keep an eye-out.Thanks for the compliment but what I thought looked original about my car was the Notchback on a GFX-less Firebird.The 83 TA was still Night Rider style, right? No GFX?LMK.
Be good.

Thanks RARE-ROC
But there's not much more "work" I can "keep up". Body-wise, I'm done. I actually think back now and regret buying the Cowl hood. I should have fronted an extra C-note for the Ram-Air hood.
Hind-Sight is never wrong, I guess.LOL.

how where and how much did u get those rims done? i got those rims stock, but the aluminum with black inside typoe thing

------------------
1992 Firebird automatic, brand new engine/tranny/brakes/tires..paint is getting touched up- Medium blue

Mods that came w/car - New dual exhaust, maybe lowered cause the tailpipes (angled down 1 inch) scrape on driveway and so does front end..the accual fascia gets stuck if u go less than 2 mph! maybe new wires/plugs, and deff. a POSI unless the car came with the 2 wheel tire spin rear

"The 92 firebird..not the first to burn out..OR eat pavement, but does a D@MN good job at it! I got pics to prove it!"

Been drinking, have yeah, Rustangs? Ain't nothin' wrong with that.
I got the rims w/the car. The aluminum does dis-color but not so much that it would be black.
Speaking of "rims", I was watching a show on MTV or VH1. I forget which. They had a whole thing on the "hip-hop" community. The way they claim is if you don't have 20"+ rims(DUBs, as they are reffered to) than you ain't even in the "game" as a "player" or what not.
Even as a Brooklyn boy, the terminology amuses me, immensely.LOL

To Lexuscs
The visibility through the small window is just fine. You get a "blind spot" but if you're using both of your side mirrors, like you should, than the difference is neglegable.
