I've never really been a fan of that color, but my friend loves it. After looking at your pics, it is growing on me . Not a big fan of the hood, but the car looks great, IMO.

Glad its back together. I know what jack stand racing is like . Never want to do that again!

I think it looks good. If it were my car Id put some CCW wheels or something on there to really set it off. I had a 88 formula firebird that was that color and loved it. I also give you credit for doing it yourself like I do in your garage. I know how hard it is and is only for the hardcore.

well its been almost a month since ive updated you guys on my car but ive had some problems like the rear blowing out the fuel pumps cutting out and the starter going but i finally made it to the dyno but blew one header gasket on the way. but i did get a couple pulls on the dyno and she made 502rwhp / 493rwtq. gonna fix that header gasket and install the cut-outs since im running though a corsa 2.5in" catback major bottle neck there. and hopefully pick up a couple more horses
