Pretty clean and straight looking car to begin with. I like those wheels. And like the last post said, it's yours so don't worry about what anyone thinks.

It is a great car to start with.. I is a fresh paint job that began with complete media blasting and rust protectant. The previous owner had great intentions, but gave up at the end and kind of threw it together. New pontiac engine and trans, new paint, new seats, new tires, new gauges, new carpet, complete new front suspension kit and lowering springs all still in the boxes, ect, ect..

The work I am doing to the car is just the details and finish up. After I am done with what I need it for, it will be on the market.

Hey Robert, is this the marketing car for the second gen windows? I would like to see those on a car. We spoke about that a long time ago, early last year I think.

I was also going to ask, did the black car and the "paint" issue turn out ok? Were you able to get it all cleaned up ok? I hope so. I hope those responsible paid dearly too.

Yes, I am doing these mods to help showcase the Glass Kits. And sadly, the paint on the Ferrari was more of an issue on the engine and chassis work.. It cleaned off the body pretty well, and the car has left for retirement in Hawaii...LOL

I saw the pictures, what a shame too. Oh well, out of your hands now anyway.

That's right. I had forgotten about the ferrari being vandalized. Glad you were still able to sell it though. Did they ever catch the people responsible?

The firebird actually sounds pretty cool. Do post pictures when you're done. One question though, are you sure you haven't gone too low with the suspension. It looks like it is riding on the bump stops now. I love them low but riding on the bump stops isn't safe.

I know I don't need to say so but do post pictures of the flush glass. I bet it'll look great.

No, it isnt riding on the bump stops.. The 19 Inch wheels gave me a bit more clearance and fill out the wheel wells even with the suspension that low. The Bump stops unbolt so if I do get into them, I will remove them.. I have been driving the car all over town and down the highway(Oklahoma Roads), and it has been fine, but the car isnt loaded down with 4 passengers and a trunk full of grocery's...ha ha
