Fresh Paint Trans Am Pictures*NICE* :)

Got some pretty nice pics a few days ago. I have a thread on my car and the body work and paint involved. I did the Firechicken method and used tractor paint and i must say im MORE than happy with the results for a 60 dollar paint job. Heres some info on the car

By the way: The Railroad tracks are NOT used. They are in my town and they havent been used in almost 100 years
1988 Trans Am
LO5 5.7 350
Headers,3 inch Y pipe
All new exhaust,new shocks and struts, Literally almost everything on my car is new. Too much to type! haha
Car WAS triple black. The body was beat to crap and the paint was faded and nasty.
New hood. Stock Trans am hood with the vents,molded 2 inch cowl
4th gen rear spoiler
The theme for it is white and black. So just a white car with black accents. I love it. Plus the interior is all black. The car really Pops

heres the thread https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...s-am-body.html

Love the 4th gen spoiler dude, nice, not a lot of owners get that idea, I had never seen anyone else do it up until about a year ago and I wanted to be one of the first to really do it on a '91 - '92 Trans Am And Maybe get it on a few magazine covers.

Re: Fresh Paint Trans Am Pictures*NICE* :)

I swear the best setting to take car pics is the middle of nowhere. The pics and the car look awesome. The railroad tracks look to be in good shape for not being used. Theres also a lack of weeds around the tracks. You sure its not used?

Re: Fresh Paint Trans Am Pictures*NICE* :)

I work on tracks. That is newer style than 100 yrs ago. Also tracks here unused for 100 yrs are full of trees, or scrapped bc grade of steel used then is so valuable. We were checking track and came up on a guy with a tripod deerstand in track. He said its ok they dont run here. They dont run often but when they did it was 60 mph. Most fatalities occur on tracks people think are not used. One of the least used tracks in this area has about 60 train auto collisions a yr
