Default Some pics, I think I am finally happy with the look.

How it looked last year.



How it looks this year.






















A few little touches of my own are, the PMD center caps from a 69 Firebird and the painted Rampant rear tail light filler.

Well thats it, what do you think?

I love it! It does look awesome! To me it just needs black overlays over the "Formula" door emblems.

Thanks!


I had metalic gray ones and they peeled after the first wash

I was thinking of just getting some factory silver or pewter ones instead.

The rims are just American Racing Torque Thrust M's, with the old school center caps. the rims are available on here from sponsors and are quite reasonable. They are 17x9 and 17x10.5. I am running Nitto 555RII 275 on the front and a Nitto 555R 315 on the rear. They work really nice together and handle very well with R rubber front and back.

Some like the old look like me and some want another look but I was brought up in the 60's and 70's, no wonder I am drawn to them.

I still think that black door overlays would look good.

Thanks guys.


There is no tint on the windows. I seem to be left alone by the local law, and I think it is because they can see in the car. So I will likely leave it alone, plus I rarely have seen a rear window done properly that lasts any amount of time.

The only pic I have of the Formula with overlays still on is this one.



The engine bay will look very different next year.

I have this waiting in the basement right now.





The plans are to build a 455 with this intake.

There will be a lot of custom work to be done. I am picky how things look so it will be a busy winter.

Wow, car looks great. Let us know how you like the harrop. I just got done installing my Vengeance ported FAST 90/90 and love the way the car feels. What a huge difference.
