Default Finally some new shots of the bird

Finally had time to take some new shots of the car and along with my b/f(Gangreen)Tim’s 95 Z28 also this weekend. There was a thunderstorm nearby so we didn’t get much time before it started to rain. Anyway here they are taken with Canon Rebel XTi, Sigma 10-20, Canon 28-135 and Canon 50 1.8

Thanks . Yes the issue with the neighbor did get resolved. Funny thing was after we moved out she left a note on the Uhaul saying she was sorry, thanked me for being a ncie neighbor and shoveling the snow and ice from her parking spot and taking care of her dog in the past. Now I'm waiting on the check from the insurance company. Seems to be taking them forever.

Yes I did but the gfx had gotten so much damage over the last 5 yrs and then the final straw was when someone stopped in front of me for no reason and I hit his metal bumper which tore up mine.

I like my sticker ....b/f has a matching one. I will though be changing out the tailfiller since it's no longer a Formula. Not sure whether to keep it plain black or just put the bird on there. The bumper will be repainted soon due to the neighbor lady hitting it in the parking lot so I'll be removing the PONTIAC inserts. I plan on repainting them to match the front...that is if I can get them off safely without damaging them

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Oh btw I had recently bought the Porter & Cable 7424 which did wonders on my beater car. I then took out some serious scratches on Tim's Z28 and was amazed so I decided to try it on mine and get a few areas that had scratches. There was one that has been on the car since I bought it behind the gas tank lid. I'd used rubbing compound on it in the past to no avail but 5 minutes with the P&C along with an orange pad and 3M Rubbing compound and its gone! Also used it on the tail lights and it did the same magic at removing the scratches I had including a pretty deep one!

The car looks great and the first and third shot are amazing Michelle. Its never stood out as much as before to me for some reason but I really like the orange overlays ont the doors, the rear bumper fill in, and the filler bird and script to set the orange of the flames off. Awesome work.

So whos is faster?
