Re: Some pics while I was on Duty...

nice formula. what were the settings on your camera? the car looks really orange; i didnt even realize it was a red car until that last pic and after reading it in your sig. i like the wheels btw. is there any chance of you changing the spoiler?

I have a piece of crap 3 megapix cam, it is horrible but is all I have. I eventually plan on getting a fiberglass GTA spoiler or a 4th gen spoiler, but that is low on the priority list. It had the rubber spoiler deck lid version but that had to go... So I used that spoiler off of one of my parts cars. Serves the purpose fine for now.

The car is torch red, very very red, the lights in the hanger make the car look orangy, the helicopter is international orange and the pics make it look yellow.

I am not sure if I like the wheels... they look to... umm fancy?

I rather have a nice set of GTA cross lace but I guess that is just me. I tried to make a trade once but no one really bit.

Re: Some pics while I was on Duty...

Those are exactly the rims I want. I actually got rid of the ZO6 rims... way too flashy for me guys.

I put the formys back on my car.

Some more pics.



















Thanks for the support guys. I have actually been thinking about spraying it again. Maybe Black, White or Blue... I haven't decided. I have completely redone the engine and the interior was redone black with mustang seats. Those pics will come next weekend.

Eventually I will find a nice set of rims. Money is tight so you know how that goes.

Re: Some pics while I was on Duty...

Missed it last time but caught in now, so I'd also like to say nice work man, she looks great. And I agree the z06 wheels were too much, the black crosslaces would be perfect.

Re: Some pics while I was on Duty...

Thats a sweet car. Love the dash.

I was trying to decide what was making me take a second look at the body and I realized its the fact that you don't have the plastic bumpers along the doors. The body looks flawless.

Cross laces all the way, I was actually thinking of painting my formys gloss black and leaving a polished lip.

I am an avionics technician, when I am on duty I am the flight mechanic, so when there is search and rescue a swimmer and I can get people out of water, burning boat etc.

Well, my body is not flawless, still needs to be wet sanded. I am actually thinking of painting my car white. We will see though.

If you are refering to the ZO6 rims they were 295/35/18's in the rear and 275/40/17's in the fronts.

I no longer have those.
