Default Bandit T/A

I really want a smokey & bandit t/a but I need some idea's. Car will be either blue or black based with gold bird(gold flakes or airbrushed), gold wheels(ADR m-classic), gold fender vents, gold hood grill(outlined) and gold tips maybe some other accent but nothing too much. I want to cut the hood and put an original pontiac shaker on the engine(non-function). I don't want the pinstriping because it's to crowded on the car. I want the throwback look but done tastefully, any pics would help. Thanks

are you doing an older t/a? or a 4th gen throwback? because i am taking the same route, minus the gold. eventually i want to do the spun/turned metal dash, maybe a wood ****/steering wheel, and id love a set of the snowflake rims from year one. check those out... expensive as hell tho

its going to be the car in my avatar, 99 firebird. So far I just have the wheels. I think i might change my mind to a kameleon with silver bird cause i can get a really good deal on the paint.

no no a bandit car has to be black,,, no other color's allowed!!
I can hook you up with the guy who still does the engine turning on dashes... he did mine and hes the best. He can do any alum trim for you.... he takes awhile to get to it but hes very good. His name is Randy Combs ( combs@milan.k12.in.us )
he did my dash and pretty much every persons in any bandit ta that has been redone.
