Thank you everyone! Yes, finally - TIRE WET! lol. I still can't find my favorite brand. I forget the name, but it comes with a sponge and smells like grape! Lasts for such a long time, doesn't get on the wheels 'cause of the sponge application. Miss that stuff.
I'd be more than willing to trade tails if someone is local and wants to meet up and see what our cars would look like with the other tail lol. Let me know!
Salvage yards here had 0 F-bodies usually. Last one I went to had an early 4th Gen Camaro, V6. Sad. I usually hit the yards for Jeep parts - easier to find!
These shots were with my 70-300 VR II. My main walkaround glass is a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. Recently sold my 28-105 Micro. Still have, though rarely use, my 50 f/1.8. I need to use it more often!

Hah, since EPFBA is no longer around it's harder to update people! I traded my E36 M3 in on this TA last summer:

Sounds good! Maybe Classic Car Show Weekend in Wildwood? Always a good time. The gray on the bumper was from a slight push of my motorcycle. I take up 1 spot with the bike and the car, and this hood goes on FOREVER .. Most shots I upload these days are how I shoot them - right off the camera. Sometimes I'll shop the levels, some hue/sat, stuff, but not much anymore.

Thank you fellers! I LOVE my camera, but the glass is really what makes the photos what they are. I just used some touch up paint today to rid the car of most of those larger chips. Looks 280348902340 times better!

Very nice car the only thing that looks weird is the stripe on the spoiler and the trunk look different. The spoiler has the lines and the trunk is solid. I know its nick picking but that car is amazing looking thought i would give my .02.

Cajun: Nothing special actually lol. My Nikon D2x with a 70-300 VR. I shot 'em at sunset, after the sun had already gone below the horizon. Longer exposures, but as you can see the lighting is brilliant.
FB: The stripes were on the car when I picked it up:
I'm assuming the stripe kit came like that? I'm not a fan of how the lower stripes on the rear deck go off at odd angles either. It's odd, but I have to fix up my '01 to get it running before I can put more money into this one.
