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.

thats one of my favorite colors, I think it looks great on a thirdgen. If those
Z06 wheels were chrome it would look so much sweeter. nice job

How long did that take you to do from the last picture before paint to the finished product?

I'm thinking the aftermarket ZO6's with the black center and the polished lip. My fiance wants these for her 92 anyhow...

A weeks worth of nights and a solid weekend. I own my own shop and do it for a living so it kinda comes natural to me...

Thank you, any more pics of your hood? I'm toying with the idea of doing a ghost bird on the hood like yours, only in gold pearl.

I guess I'm the only one who likes the way it looked stock, down to the formula wheels. Then again I have A blue 85 Trans Am with Formula wheels so ya LoL

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.
