Come on. Pushing 6 months and we've only seen the engine, wheels and front end?

Updates...I'm taking the seats to the upholsterer next week (hopefully).

I'm not real interested in discussing cost but, to give you an idea, I have more in just materials than most people spend on a full color change. Also, I'm hoping Whistler won't paint any other Firebirds this color

He does...it's not our fault he turned his car into one of the sickest T/A's known to man! He owes them to the F-body community! This car is BADA$$ and therefore needs to be documented in F-body history!

it looks ok..... youd think there would be a few more pics after this long. Surely it cant take you this long to paint every car...your just being mean to us! lol. Nice to see something different. Is it the stock ls1? The owners upgraded virtually everything else but you didnt say what lsx it was.....from that angle it could be an ls6. Is this just wishful thinking?

How about a before picture?



You guys are awesome! I really appreciate all the positive feedback

There's still some work to do but, once it's ready, I'll (or Whistler) make a thread with tons of pictures.

In the booth...You can see how Whistler employed the lift to get the coats on seamlessly. At this point we were still prepping so the booth and car are a bit dirty.

This photo is at the end of the first day. Because it's a candy, the color is difficult to capture (especially for someone like me). As such, pardon the strange hues.
