Raven Transam photoshoot (56K no way) Well as promised i finally got some really good pics thanks to a good friend of mine Jamie (RAISE on LS1tech and EFA) he came out and took the portercable to the ta and finished up the buff and polishing job my painter botched and snapped some pictures. all i have to say is i highly recommend hiring jamie if you need a detail job done. for those that dont know that is a Mecham hood and yes i know it doesnt meet the bumper at the nose perfectly but hey ill fix that eventually, and also the rear bumper has no more PONTIAC lettering or lines coming out of the license plate, its all been shaved as well as the antenna is also gone and the panel has been smoothed.

Looks super fricken clean. I like the shaved parts a lot.
Maybe if you remove the Firehawk badge from the nose, then the hood will be able to close a little better.

no sir it is not a hawk, couldnt butcher a hawk for racing like i did this car. i only added the emblem because it was free and the only thing that looked decent at the top of the nose.

Nice car, Leesburg huh? I grew up around there still have a lot friends who race from sterling, centerville, fairfax and ashburn. We might even know some of the same people. You know last time I came up there I flew into dulles and was arrested for flicking a cigarette, and taken all the way to leesburg jail an held for 5 hours. Missed my own homecoming party. Sorry to get off topic. Again nice car
