Thanks!! Nope...still waiting on the 4l80e...supposed to be done in 2-3 weeks

LOL...i would look at your sig pic and think " thats how mine is gonna look when its painted!!" I havent decided on that bird in the front. With the black top, i almost think its too much but my wife loves and keeps telling me to do it. I would rather have a black/chrome arrowhead emblem on the nose by the hood but i cant find one.

We all know white cars are fast. John Norris has that fast white camaro too!!
