Re: SEPTEMBER COTM **WINNER**

Wow, I haven't been to the site in a while so this caught me totally by surprise! I didn't even know I was nominated! Thank you to everyone that nominated and voted for my car. It's a pretty cool honor, especially since I know there's still work to do on it. I have a few newer pictures from this summer that I'll post up later this week.

Re: SEPTEMBER COTM **WINNER**

Being chosen as the COTM made me decide to finally post these pics. Earlier this summer, I was cruising around town having a good time and I decided to recreate a photoshoot I did back in 2005. This is the first time I'm looking at the pictures at the same angles and the same location side-by-side, so I hope it's as cool and dramatic as I think it'll be.

Re: SEPTEMBER COTM **WINNER**

In the thirdgen world I'm usually more a fan of the Camaros than the Firebirds but that car is just a knock out. It's nice to see an early thirdgen get that kind of detail done to it. Thats a beautiful car.

Thank you! I love your '92 bird. It just looks like such a fun toy to play with! hehe. I think the 91s and 92s really pull off the RA1 hood and 4th gen spoiler very well. I almost went with a RA1 hood on my car, but it just didn't look right with the 84 nose.

Terrific job on your car Jeremy, I have not seen this one on this site yet. I love the new wing, wheels, and that paint. Oh, the paint... Great color selection, the way it makes the shoulders on the rear quarters pop is awesome.

Re: SEPTEMBER COTM **WINNER**

R Rojas- The wheels are from Year One and they're sold on their website. It's the 17x9 cast version, not the crazy expensive CNC cut versions.

ws6transam- Thank you! I love the pictures of your 84 in action, it's a great build technically and a great color combo as well.
