Default Some new pics finally...

Been needing to post some pics up and finally took the time to get them hosted. These are of my firebird, the bike i traded for the trans-am, and the trans-am before any modding. Let me know what you guys think...

(Polished everything on the bike myself: frame, subframe, wheel lips, swingarm...so I have respect for anyone who does any polishing by hand LOL)







And here are a few before the stripes and vinyl overlays on the bird...

I got the v-6 out and drove it a couple weeks ago just to get it out of the garage, but now that I've had the trans-am for a few months it would definitely be hard to go back now. I'll put a bigger motor in it eventually, but there's no rush now since I got another car.

Looks good! I did the same thing when I bought my SS. I had a '93 V6 M5. I loved that car but, once I had the SS, I never really drove it enough to maintain it. When you have two nearly identical cars, only one is an LS1 and one is… not, you'll drive the LS1 95% of the time. After a couple of years, I sold the '93. But, she was a beauty. Check it out.


Of course, here's the beauty queen!

Great looking cars...especially the SS. I'll never get rid of the firebird, it has been an awesome car ever since I bought it.

I thought maybe it was a Formy, but I guess not.........
That kit makes the front bumper of the Firebird look good. Maybe even better than the T/A........ I'm really diggin it.

What about making the Firebird your daily driver, and them modding up the TA and taking the bike out on the weekends- thats what I'd do atleast. Anyways- they all look good!
