Pics of my not-so-new paint job.
I got the car painted last fall, but I'm just now getting around to posting the pics of it.
Here's a link to a thread from a few years ago with it in its orginal glory.
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=135696
And here (hopefully) are some new pics of it. It took me forever to decide what color to paint it, but I settled on this.

I've also managed to replace the 305 TBI for a brand spakin' new 350. I haven't had it dynoed yet, but it should be around 350 HP and 400+ lb/ft.

It's a really neat color, because under low light, it almost looks pewter, but when the sun hits it, it turns to a "sebring silver" type color. Thread Starter

Looks awsome.
And $2,000 was the hit. . . and that's with a color change, sanding it down, replacing the fender and a few other GFX pieces, jamming it out and repainting the trim.

Ahhh... red dirt and pine trees. Home...

Where in GA are you, Gunny? I grew up around Ft. Gordon. Folks are still there.
Oh.., I don't know what to say about your car that hasn't already been said but that color is pretty special to me. I really think that color rocks.

I was looking at getting 17" polished IROCs w/ BFG KDW tires, and I still need headliner. ($1400 for the wheels and tires and ?$?$ for the top)
I had all new buttons for the interior, but now I can't find them.
I lost them when I moved.

Sorry to bring this post back from the dead... but I cant help but wonder if you've gotten pics of the car in the daylight yet?
The contrast between that color really lets chrome become more "naturally" added to the car w/o looking weird since there's no chrome trim or anything.
I also love how the color shows off the contours of your car, espescially the 91-92 ground effects.
