Looking good, man. With the rims you've selected it's going to be a tight package. That style of two-tone is really hot and will be dynamite on your ride. I'm sure I'm not the only one anxious for updates

It looks like a cop car! Nice job on it, it looks like it will be an outstanding job. Looks like you got a pretty nice motor to go with the new paint too!

that looks really good. i know a guy around here with a 91 Z that has those same two colors, but the black is on bottom and the silver is on top and its a very nice combo.

Wow.
That is going to be one helluva ride. I have had the exact scheme in mind for the Formy for a few months. The cowl hood makes that look a perfect one. VERY nice work dude.

Nice car. Very nice with the two tone especially since you do not see much of that around. Reminds me of a magazine car from a few years back. Question, do you have any more pictures of the wheels on the car? Thanks

Love the 2-tone paint. What is up with the rear wheel? It looks like it's not centered in the wheelwell. Was the car hit in the back?

That paint scheme is very nice, reminds me of the later 70's Malibu's. I like what you did, your idea came out great!
I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade... but I can tell that the fenders, bumper, and the rest of the car weren't all painted at the same time.
Still it's a great job, and that engine bay is magnificent.

At the time of the pics i didn't have the torque arm in the car, so the axle wasn't centered. I already have lowering springs in the car but they haven't settled yet. But i've been thinking of air ride anyways. As far as the paint, yes the car was painted in pieces. But no matter what kinda paint u use, the bumper covers will never match. I painted the fenders and bumper covers at the same time, And the covers are a brighter shade of silver than the rest of the car. I don't have any more pics yet, but if i get anything else done ill get some more. Thanks for the compliments.

That is a nice choice of colors. Silver is a hard color to shoot and match. No matter what you do its always going to be tough. I did the same thing only opposite with a silver TA i did once. The only way i could get the silver to match was to paint it all at the same time. Looks awesome, kinda like the 1978 anniversary Corvette. Black and silver with a red stripe in the middle. Good work dude!
