This is how she sits right now. Installed the RAII hood yesterday, and now its on to the sanding.

 

One more, the best shot I have. Very tiny space, so pics are hard to take.

 

looks like your going to do it your self what sort of equipment do you have?
want to paint my car but haven't worked up the courage to do it

 

Nah, not me, my uncle is doing it. He's been at it alot of years. He's got his own equipment and so far its looking good.

Painting her back to original color (code 8555) with as of right now going with 3 coats of clear coat.

My uncle told me that whoever painted her before, just used car paint from a parts store and not base/clear and it pretty much fell right off.

One more pic, this one from the nose. Will be adding pics tomorrow too, hopefully if things go well.

 

Nice looking car, can not wait to see it all painted and I am sure you can't either. I am still on the fence about the RA hoods and am looking forward to seeing how it looks on your car in that color.

 

Me too, I am hoping it turns out good. I was also on the fence about RA hoods, but I plan on making this one functional. If I painted her last year, I wouldn't have bought one. Somewhere along the line my mind got changed and I am glad I did. Thirdgens are pretty rare around here, I have the only working 92 around (there is one in a nearby town that is just sitting around rotting, tried to buy it, no deal, another story, lol.)
I decided to be a little unique and give the guys in the stangs and hondas a little something to wonder about, lol. The plan is as of right now, to paint in the morning. I will keep everyone posted. I assume most people are waiting for the final product before giving their opinion.

 

I can give you an opinion now. The RAII will look good with that color and the body style you have BUT...those wheels will kill it's overall appearance. Even the Formula wheels look better if you like that style. I've got the RAII hood and the Formula wheels and it looks much better than those 15" stockers. Plan on getting new wheels though.

 

What kind of a pain in the a$s did you have with the fitment of the hood? I remember spending days adjusting and repositioning that damn thing until finally it was decent.

 

I have found a set of trans am honeycomb rims, not sure yet if they are for sale. I will keep everyone posted if I change them.
----------
My uncle and I spent about 2-3 hrs getting it in place and it still wouldn't fit down snug. We eventually had to drop the inside piece a little so it would come down pretty snug to the bumper.

Some pics as she sits right now.

 

Few more. Note: My camera lens was dirty, so look past the lens spots, lol.

 

I got the car back now, no decals installed as of yet, still on the way from U.S. I did get my "ram air" decals though. I am going to wait till I have them all before I get them installed.

 

Why does the a*s stick up so far? Paint looks good.

 

looks great! Black is the color I'm probably going to do when mine gets painted as well.

 

Always been that way. May also be the slope the car is on.

 

Got some decals put on, still waiting for the sail panel birds to come in. The car is looking better though.

 

Looks good man!With the exception of the wheels,rear spoilerand lack of gfx.,it is a twin to my car.So,I can say I love it!! Nice job man.

 

I am working on some new rims for the car. I will not be changing the spoiler. I rather that spoiler than the wrap around one. Not sure what you mean by lack of graphics?

 

throw some rubberized undercoat in the wheel wells, and atleast wash the wheels, and u have a winner. Nice paint.

 

Not graphics, gfx(ground effects). I like the 91's with and without the ground effects so either way you decide it will look good.

 

Ahh.. ground effects, lol, all the time I spend on here, I should know that. To be honest, I am not a big fan of the GFX for the 91/92's. So I don't think as of right now, I will be adding them. With regards to the rubberized wheel well coat, what brand name is recommended?

 

I was just comparing your car to mine,I never suggested that you should change anything,only stated the obvious differences in our cars.
I think your car looks great and at the same time I think mine looks great.
And yeah,gfx means ground effects not graphics! lol!!

 

Lol, I really lilke your car. Very nice. Here is a couple more pics after I finally washed the tires.
Note: My rims are in bad need of repair. I am looking for replacements as we speak.

 

cool,you looking for something diff.,or replacements of your originals?
BTW,I fried the 305 last night,so I now have to stuff my corvette alum. headed l98 into her.Not such a bad trade,but quite a bit of work!

 

how many miles on ur 305? I am looking at a set of 81 trans am rims to be honest, not sure how they will look though

 

The car looks great. I would take the decal off the windshield, but that's only my opinion. Everything else looks wicked.

 

118k,with a rod bearing now making some racket in the bottom end.
I wouldn't swap this motor for no reason.

 

looks great. never put gfx on it! the only things i would change is 16+ wheels, TA/Formula wing, and C5 mirrors

Thanks for the kind words guys. I appreciate it. Hopefully all my decals will be here shortly, so we can see the final look.
