Car: I drive my 1985 red and silver trans am and its fun as heck
Engine: as of now it has a 305 in it but my dad races stock cars and im rebuilding his old 350 to put in it.
Transmission: My car has a 5 speed manual in it.
Any Ideas??

Well I have a 1985 Trans Am bone stock just like off the lot other then its older and the paint is peeling but thats not the point. I know exactly what i want to do to this car perfomance wise but i have no idea about interior/exterior. I havent seen any cool pictures of what i could do to it and i could use some ideas.
Thanks,
Tim

I know what you mean, i've looked around at alot of firebird/camaros thu a few of em look good not quite the paint job I want for my baby. So I started looking other places for ideas for a paint job. I picked a lowrider magazine up and got more inspiring ideas from that mag than anywhere else. I also looked up a few artists like Von Dutch (rat fink creator) and Don Tognotti try maybe Ed "big daddy" Roth I forgot to look him up online.
whats your location?
I got my idea down for my firebird maybe a few tweaks till im done. I didnt want anything too goddi, i wanted sleak, classy yet dolled up alittle.

The local vocational school out here won' t take any car more than 5 years old, it can't have any rust, they're looking for body damage. Some of them have strict requirements <shrug>.

lol...I just noticed you're from the ****hole state. I hope that's not gonna be your daily driver, F-Bodies suck in snow! Although driving sideways down 3rd street and flippin a bitch onto Harney was fun. Where is county "9"? If you do have your car painted at Wyotech, make sure they use as little body filler as possible. I found out first hand that filler doesn't expand the rate as metal. My hood looks terrible now.
