What do you guys think, can i get some feedback

 

I need a new steering wheel though

 

The paint looks amazing. Are those TTII's? I don't normally like them on third gens but they really work well on your car.

 

Since these pictures ive put in PIAA driving lights, 4th Gen Center Console, Fiberglassed the back plastics, new door panels and trim. And built a custom rear seat delete box for the back.... will post some more pics if i can get a hold of a digital

yeah they are the ttII's

Need to get the A/C hooked back up

 

nice car...i got scared for a second that you had the same color paint on your car that im putting on mine today...but yours is a bit more red (i want my car to be as original as possible), nice work though man, it looks really good! i love those gauges!

 

racer, the color is a gold base coat, a **** load of flake , and house of colors tangerine

 

oh ok...i'm using that copper off those dodge daytona trucks...i love that color, i had to settle for a tangerine type color cuz thatdaytona truck paint is 225 per quart! but yeah dude, thats a sweet looking car, i hope mine looks that good when i'm done, by the way, have you had any trouble with that ram air hood? i want one but i saw it at a car show and it had cracks all in the paint cuz of the fiberglass bending when they closed it and such, thanks man...again, great car!

 

Ive had no problem with paint cracking and stuff, i do have a crack at the back of the engine bay driver side from having the power struts on it, But its a minor crack under the hood, you cant even see it and its just a paint crack from stress.

When you paint make sure you get enough hardner in it and plenty of clear coat, my paint chips to easy... if i can in about 5 years im going to strip it all down and repaint in the same color the right way b/c the guy that originally painted it kinda screwed it up.
Good luck, post some pics when your finished painting

 

Thats one nice bird. I have been looking to get an 87 T/A for a while now.. Love the looks. That hood and those wheels look awesome.

 

the hood is from gtfiberglass in conneticut, would not buy another thing from them though, the service is **** and you can never get hold of anyone email or phone... stick to hawks they have some nice hoods if you ever want one

 

yeah mine had original paint, it was flaking up on the hood and roof and stuff....jsut not a good time, ya know? haha, anyway, i got the first 4 coats on today, and tomorrow is the last one to hide any imperfections and then the clear, hopefully i'll have it driving aroudn by tomorrow night, i was going to postpictures tonight but it would take wayy too long, i have a lot andi gotta pick my favorites now, this is my first project car and i guess its kinda acceptable to take a **** load of picutres haha

 

did you guys sand the color coat before laying clear. I have never painted but I am thinking about doing mine myself to make sure it is done right and maybe save a little cash but more to make sure it is right. also props on the T/A looks good.

 

I like that 4th gen rear spoiler, car looks great

 

i sanded to metal wehre the paint was bad, i.e. where it was gray or peeling, i made sure that the surrounding areas were bare metal and then i primed them, the areas wehre thepaint was good, like the doors and fenders, were able to just be scuffed on mine...i just finished painting it myself today, i'll post some pics when i get it all nice and show ready

 

how about after you sprayed the color coat did you sand in between the clear coat?

 

I'm totally intrigued by those giant birds on the sail panel. I'd like to see a more close up picture, but they look really cool. Good job!

 

Wow, looks good! The paint looks awesome.And I love your gauge setup, exactly how I would have done it, some day I plan on doing a set like that except on a Camaro.

All you need is to get that interior all purdy like the exterior. Good job!

 

formy, let me see if i can get my digital bck and get some pics....

jimmy your lucky w/ the camaro there is a company called covans that makes a perfect fit dash with autometer gauges for about$700 bucks....
mine actually cost about $1000 with everything... the stock dash which i had to buy the piece for b/c i had a broken digital dash in mine.... that was 40 from the scrapyard, 60 in leatherete material, and about 850 or so in gauges and install equipment. But at the end of the day it was worth every penny... they light up neon green at night,,, looks sick.... highly recomend this ...

 

i did not sand between the base and clear coat, i contacted the place i bought the paint from, they said that i had 24 hours from end of base to beginning of clear before needing to sand at all...i just got her home, she looks good, atleast ithink so
