Some light tint will help also. Looking good though.
Both Windows work properly, pass is a bit sluggish. How do you do the passenger side fix? I am getting the car tinted as well in next week or so. Hopefully changing the headlight motor tomorrow. The grinding noise and lights coming up and down every time I lock and unlock the car is getting pretty darn annoying.

Ill post up a link. Reason why it's slow is because the passenger side window draws power through the driver side motor and not enough power makes it to the passenger side and makes its slows, burns your window motor up, or over heats it and it will stop in the middle of rolling up or down.

No, I live in Odessa. My mother in-law and sister in-law live in SA so we come visit them pretty often. I've driven her back and forth a couple of times. Been thinking of taking her to the track to get a base run.

Just updating with some new pics I took of her.







also finally installed the remaining fog lamp that I needed to change out, and installed the 4300k hid kit on the fogs as well.

I used the kit from HawksTurdGen, the guy who painted my hood, tinted my corners and painted the trans am lettering is named Roland. He uses an actual paint booth and does good work. Shoot me a pm and ill give ya his contact info.

Will do. I like the wheels also. Looks like our T/As will be looking pretty similar. I'm looking to pick up some zr1 wheels also. Also have HID in the garage but I am going projector.

The zr1's are actually my roomies, I was just using them for a bit till I found a set of speedlines, which I already have. I'm stripping the clear on the speedlines as I type...

Bring 8k this weekend and pick it up, but you'll have to install the dash, roof panel and exhaust yourself. I'll provide it, you install it. Lemme know.

Well I added a panel to cover the fuse boxes and finally got around to putting the Speedline wheels on Betty this weekend.

I did, but sold her back in August to a 50yr old man from Houston. He said he had always wanted a muscle car but had never owned one. Bought the car for $4500 and sold it for 8k with 86k miles on it. She will be missed.
