Looks absolutely amazing minus the lid. That's distracting and somewhat tacky in comparison to the rest IMO.

As I had mentioned in the other thread, ..., I also think the lid would be a better fit idf it were also painted red.

Thanks guys!! means alot coming from some sweet cars!well took almost 3 months of when I had spare time but car was parked for winter(engine in).used to do bodywork as youngster but hard way to make $$ but wanted to do something on limited funds.as for lid tried photoshop and makes lid disappear (to much red,maybe clear?)also this is link to firebird plate and emmission plate (new pic) http://www.emblempros.com/home heres some more pics (the one is the purge and working on cover now) getting ready for PONTIAC NATIONALS in AUGUST down in Ohio (we race) was going to hide noids but figured easier to service and why hide when all you have to do is shut hood (tank in spare area)thanks again for looking and comments (not ever done always trying something)

how did you go about relocating you fuse blocks. I pulled my motor and I am doing a complete color change on my trans am, so we painted and cleared the engine bay. I wanted to clean things up a little under the hood and those fuse blocks take away from the clean look so I wanted to relocate them. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing how you did it. Oh, and by the way you have an amazing Trans Am.

Thanks!fuses are flipped upside down and wiggled thru hole where a.i.r. system was(remove from cradle and thicker ga pwr wire has to disconnected and reconnected after in position)zip tied to keep secure.just have to service fuses thru bottom access (but how many times have you had to get to fuses) and made panel to cover mess. Good luck!!!
