November 2019 COTM **Winner**


Congratulations, rdhanded2! Your 1991 Firebird ('89-ish Trans Am Clone) is our TGO November 2019 COTM Winner.

Talk about humble beginings...You transformed a ratted out '91 base Firebird into a very beautiful late '80s TA. Your car has such a great look to it that it's got me thinking about how a set of black lace 17" TA rims would look on my Formula. Some good pictures, a good presentation, and a very pretty car.

By the way, is the Mrs. a registered member here on TGO?
What's that Formula of hers got under the hood?
Are those Ronals it's sittin' on?



Thinking of maybe selling it?

Wow, thank you all! Really can't believe I was nominated let alone won. Such an honor!!!

And the Mrs. has an account but has never used it. I will get her to jump on here and show off her Formula. And those are the Hawks Ronal repros it is on.

Some 1.5” drop springs will make the car sit better on those Ronals.

Im sure you already know that.
