Default Blackbird clone in progress!!

I just finished painting my bumper CETA style, and im letting it dry over night doesnt look too bad! I just finished putting some blackbird style stripes which was a bitch cause i laid the vinyl on too much soapy water so it was such a pain in the *** to make it stick so i took a hair dryer to it, turned out good. I got some 17x9.5 chrome ZR-1 wheels with 275s upfront and 285s in the back. I REALLY want to trade for some powder coated black wheels, anyone wanna trade???????? .....anyways ill post pics when im done..I have learned that patience is a really....REALLY good tip!

Take it easy guys!!!

haha chris me and you both know i have to force myself to be patient..haha. I finished the car, the only thing is that i dont have the "Last of the Breed" emblems cause i thought that becuase my car is a 99 they dont belong on it, that those emblems really belong to the 2002s cause they were the actual last of the breed..so anyways. Painted my rear bumper CETA style the tips i have on there are not very impressive they are the single slash SLP tips i want some dual ovals. I put black vinyl overlay on all letterings and the black bird style stripes on..all in two days. It actually doesnt look that bad! When I wash it tommorow I will take pics. I kinda modeled it after a member on here.."Stang Killr" or something like that his car is wicked.
Later guys!

nope the headers got rescheduled to come in on monday instead im gonna go ahead and install them myself, i think itll be a breeze with a hydraulic Hi-Lift, and pneumatic tools, and some mecanics arounds for tips, but what i need from you is a tune....with ur HP. What do u say u wanna give it another try? Ill drive or meet halfway.
