I trust you Chris and defer to your experience in the industry!

My car at SEMA... who'd have ever thought it possible? :lateral: :woot:

Its the least we can do back to you for your years of service and this means you will get a pass to walk the show. We already have your name down so who will you bring out to see the show as well.

Did you pick a color yet?

Did you decide on the name yet? Its your car so that one is up to you. I think I will always call it "Project Freedom" but I know you already have a name for it and you can leave name on the plate this is just for the project here.

I'll probably be coming out with Chad... he's already offered and I can tell war stories on the way! :drive:

Color... I'm personally torn between the ZR1 Blue and the PPG Red.
But it looks as though the ZR1 Jetstream blue is the most popular so far.
Maybe I should just start a poll to see it more clearly?

I've always called the car Old Flame (OLDFLM) but it's going through a complete transformation now and probably deserves a new name that somehow should tie into birds (firebird and flight) and my military service/patriotism... not to mention the generosity of everyone who is making this thing a reality!

I'm open to suggestions... :lateral:

well as I stated before keep it called "Project Freedom" OLDFLM

Ty,

You KNOW that, for as long as we've discussed this car (over a decade, now!), I've ALWAYS adamantly supported keeping it the original maroon color.

But, with the carbon fiber, based upon the renderings.....

Blue.

That was NOT easy for me to write!!

Congrats my friend, I am VERY excited for you!
Lee

ty

i like old flame....
im checking out the airforce website and the airforce icon on that page is blue and grey and would look awesome on the car maybe in the middle of the rear spoiler kinda like the firebird decals.
what kind of weapon/missles do they have name for that might tie into the car?

I've got a billet water neck (Tin Indian Performance) I can donate. Also gaskets (except head gaskets) if they are needed.

I'll have to do some looking around too... SR-71 is already taken. :(

Hey Ty here at Dyess we have a B-1B 86-100 that is named Phoenix. I thinks that since you are giving the car a new life. Like it is rising from the ashes. :cheers:
