Default Took Some Pics. Of My Firehawk.

Got Ahold Of My Dad's G/F's Camera For Awhile So I Decided To Go Outside And Take Some Pics. of My Firehawk.. And Also The Damage That Was Caused By My Friend's Ex-G/F When She Backed Up Into Me On New Year's Morning. I'll Soon Have It All Re-Sprayed GM Silver Metallic Sometime Next Week.











Then Some Of My Dad's Never Ending Project. It's A '79 Corvette.









I'm Trying To Talk My Dad Into Throwing An LS1/4L60E Swap Into His Car, But He Said He Doesn't Want Anything To Do With A Computered Car. He Likes His 350ci Small Block .

The color almost looks like pewter in the first two pictures. Do you know what the original color was?

Thr original color is GM silver metallic. I'm gonna stick with the same color whenever it gets painted, just paint the sail panel thing black.

Haha. Yeah. It was New Year's morning (actually like 3-4am and she had done a little bit of ). Guessing she drank just a little too much. I was pretty pissed, but now I can get rid of that nasty black stripe down the middle!

Good choice. Would be alot of work to do a complete color change and i dont think its worth it when silver looks so good on the firehawks. I am not so sure about the sail panel idea but what ever floats your boat.

I'm kinda leaning towards a black/silver scheme. Silver car, black sail panel, black rims w/chrome lip, black CETA.. Just a little something like that.

It's a Firehawk, just paint it the original way and enjoy it. One of the few cars that nailed the appearance the first time from the factory. No stripes or Camaro roof stuff required.

Some of my friend's like it but I don't. Once you get close to it you can see how shitty it's painted on. Someone definately didn't know what they were doing, lol. I work at a paint shop and whenever my friend's Dad (the owner) saw it, he told me were gonna have to get it painted over.

Yeah, Your right. Only reason why I wanted to go with the black sail panel is because I kinda think it give it like a fighter jet cockpit look. I don't know.. Thats what I think.

well if it looks like hell, then yes get rid of it...
I couldnt tell it was bad.. I was just saying about the stripe itself..
IMO, looks good..
But it is a firehawk, so it probably didnt need it..
Still sucks about what happened.. DAM...

I just like the way it sets off the black/silver scheme. I'm having thoughts on getting some black rims now..

Good that you're getting the car painted. Hopefully you can lose the stripe too.

Well her insurance is going to cover it, she had full coverage. Anyways, I know for sure they are going to give me two center caps, one was already missing and the other cracked. They are also going to give me a new rim due to a small scratch that can be taken out and also a new front bumper cover. Were gonna fix the quarter panel. It shouldn't be too hard.
