Thanks for the complements guys. Joe, the bumper was painted while it was attached.
The color code is PS4, Chrysler Platinum.
The airbrush work was done by a local guy named Terry Cugini. He's pretty well known around here for his custom airbrush work and paint jobs. It just so happens that my dad and him have been friends for many years and I'm pretty good friends with his son. I drew up a rough sketch of what I wanted, and he basically created what's on the car from that.
The color code is PS4, Chrysler Platinum.

Looks really nice. I wish you would have pulled the bumper though... now it's going to crack/peel from the seam over the years.

nice looking paint, im not a big fan of the flames moving down the side, think it woulda worked better , running those flames into a pinstripe essentially, that seperates the two tone... but to each his own.
Sux about your front bumper, but, im sure it'll look pretty nice for long enough...just don't run into something, although, if you did...it'd give you an excuse. why couldn't you get the bumper off in the frist place?
once again, nice looking job though....not quite my style all the way, but definatley good looking.

I went over to check out the car the other night. The passenger side and hood have been wet sanded and buffed. She'll be coming home Friday.

As far as what kind of wheels I want to go with, I'll be using the snowflakes that I have redone.
When I get more money I'd like to get some Firehawk wheels or a set of HP Evo's. Any wheel suggestions? I'm open to pretty much anything

That is one badass paint job! I've never felt more confident in my color choice than I do right now. What's going on under the hood? getting that painted too? What taillights are you going with?

Under the hood is a small block chevy 307. I painted the engine bay black when I put the new engine in and that's most-likely how it'll stay until I get a new engine.
As far as the taillights go, I'm going to use the 82-84 tinted taillights. The set I have is almost mint and they will do the job until I can find a set of 91-92 Trans Am lights.

I am really not a big fan of hoodbirds or flames but, I must say... what you picked is really fitting of the car and not 'in your face' flashy. It looks really nice.
A matched set of wheels (since suprisingly, no one has mentioned it's sitting on 3 differnet ones for paint
) will help bring everything together... as well as reassembly. It looks like a car again now.

Well, she's finally home. I started putting stuff on last night and most of today. So far I have the weatherstripping, wheels, gas cap and a few other trim pieces on.
A few of my friends stopped over and just begged to have their picture taken with the car. I said "only if you help!"
and me..

Dude your car rules!! Love the color. It is almost the same color as my S/E. You should paint and polish up those 2nd gen wheels that you had on those would look hot for not much $$. But thats not the only thing that is hot in those pics if you know what I mean

Yeah, he's a strapping young man isn't he.
I figured he'd be taking all the lady's to the prom that's in his sig pic.

I haven't been in Cleveland for a while. I was there a few months ago, but only for a day. Other than that, I haven't been around that area unless it was for a wrestling tournament or football game. Maybe a baseball game if it was years ago? I was on CNN one time but chances are you didn't see that.. lol
Here are more pics from today..
