I'm normally not a fan of white cars. I'll make an exception here.

Your car looks great, man.

Yeah my buddy insisted on it being white and even taped it up to make sure it got sprayed to match the car! I had to have the stripes layed out and pulled up numerous times before they were right. That was the best that could be done to look like the original Heritage stripes due to the cowl width.

They are Pacer wheels. They are a few years old. 17x9.5's they are actually made by Centerline for Pacer and are hard to find now. There was a set in the classifide section but they were only 17x8's and didnt have the good looking inset and deep dish look.

Next mods will probably be headers and better exhaust. The Flowmasters just aint enough anymore. I think the 305 will get a healthy boost if I can find a local custom chip burner to help with some major parts changing I have in mind to make the 305 a bit more powerful.

Its called World's Easiest Metal Polish by Satin Gloss. It took about 15 minutes a wheel with a drill and a mushroom shaped polishing wheel.

I never like anykind of striping or graphics, but I LOVE those bold black stripes! That's one of the cleanest looking cars I've seen. Solid white and black... very classy.

I love the car, you pulled off the white/black combonation really good..

Some white leather seats would really set that car apart....

but why for the love of *** did you leave the antenna on there.......

Its a 3 inch Cervini hood. The only part that has to be adjusted is the front of the stripe where it narrows out at the front. They are still the factory width at the rear of the stripe.

I will upload more pics today from different angles and post a link to them.

The polish I got from Auto Fest held at Lowes Motor Speedway but they do sell it online. Buy Polish Here

FLYNLOW: Yeah I wish I would have shaved the handles and antenna but didnt think about it in time. I also wanted white leather 4th Gen seats but I drive it so much I would hate to keep up with the damn things. I almost had a set of black ones but Roy forgot to bring the seats to AutoFair so I said F it and got my money back.

Not normally a fan of stripes, but yours looks excellent! Love the black on white theme. I'm glad to see you didn't run the stripes down the front of the nose or the back of the bumper....very tastefully done.

The stripes need to be widened at the front to clear the cowl other wise it has to drop down the side of the hood and it looks like ****! The stripes were painted on as well, not vinyl anymore.

It depends on if you want the stripes painted on. If you stick with vinyl the jongbloed hood still might look funny. I would paint the stripes on the hood you want.

I know! Those are what I wanted but for the price of a set of used seats and those seat cover replacements I could build a motor!

Camaro of solar: I actually just used GM arctic white and had them shoot about 7 coats of clear and alot of wet sanding before buffing is all.
