Came across this picture and thought I would share it for the hell of it. Now this isnt my cup of tea but it looks much better than i could have pictured it. For all I know this could be posted in the cheesy photo thread already. Looks like a quality paint job though, esp with the details like the rivets.

 

I think they ran that car at the lsx shoot out.

 

 

belongs to Mike Alsop. He and his daughter won the Bullrun TV series. I got a chance to meet him and his daughter at the LSX shootout, nice folks. The workmanship on the car was top notch. Ugly but well built.

 

someone put in some time on it

 

it would be perfict if it didnt have that smily face going on

 

If anybody is wondering where the paint scheme came from here you go.

The legendary Flying Tiger's

 

Did they paint the Bullrun car? If i remember the Bullrun car was a red ws6. Or they just have more than one firebird

 

Kudos for the effort but wouldn't be my first choice. Definitely interesting though.

 

I think it looks bad ***, would not want it on my car, but still looks great

 

This car was featured in an issue of performance pontiac. It said "400 hours of shop time were dedicated to the body and paint." I think the paint scheme looks great for a drag or show car, which is exactly what it is.

Oh, and the paint scheme is based off the WWII AVG Squadron.

 

alot of aviation units have used that paint scheme, but the origonal unit was the 8th battalion 229th aviation regiment "flying tigers" (AVG means american volenteer group, just an old term for reserves). the unit is actually still around, we just fly apaches now here is a picture of one of our birds painted in the traditional flying tigers shark teeth with one of the origonal "flying tigers" Ret.

I think it looks bad ***. I would have been really cool if they would have had a primary for each header tube come out the fender or somewhere. Dunno how they would have done it but it would have been awesome.

 

Original.

 

I think its pretty cool, I would never do it but someone put tons of time into that.

 

very original i like

 

I think it's really cool. Who ever painted that must have been happy to get that out of his shop

 

Definately not going to lose this one in the parking lot. Everyhing on this car is painted. No decals. If you look at it closely you can see the the front end was repalced with a Formula/Firebird nose.

Very creative.

 

I just saw the car a few days ago. Mike Alsop is a great guy and so is his right hand man, Dustin Wheelock. I am taking my car in tomorrow for Dustin to work his magic on it. It will be sitting in the same shop as the camo Ta above. Dustin is great with F-body's and really knows his stuff. He also is also doing all the work on my car for dirst cheap! The Camo TA is located right here is lafayette, IN at Premier Autosports, the paint job is incredible!

 

You can keep that ****.
