Finally painted my third gen driver
Yeah, so I had every part I need basically fall into my lap so I finally got off my butt and cleaned up the 87 formula's look.
Here's a before:

----------
And a during, I love the red neck look


----------
And bam, fresh out of the booth. I just need to get off my behind and finish reassembly. The color is 06 GTO brazen orange, trust me, the pics do it no justice.

Back from the dead, but does anyone have any pics of this car? His hosting site's links aren't working and I really want to see this car.
