Camaro and Avalanche for me.

Have a great one!

Olds and Pontiac are tied for first, Buick and Chevy are tied for second.

I'll take the black/gold '79 T/A, the Viking Blue Cutty Supreme, and the white Regal T-Type please. Well, I already have 2/3s of that fleet, but still.

What's up with this? It's going to take some getting used to.

Gloss Black.

This isn't the last entry from me. :AH-HA_wink:

You know, thinking about it, I need weatherstripping and door felts worse than I need a new rear bumper. I'm going to hold off on the bumper until this spring.

Give Mr. Fisker a cigar and a huge pat on the back. He deserves it if he is, in fact, going to buy Wilmington and help keep America's industry going. If only other American companies would take notice ...

I stopped with the personal social networking BS at Facebook. However, social networking is great for promotional purposes and a way to offer a more personal connection with your target audience. I know that, as far as the new music industry goes, it has allowed a lot of bands/artists to advertise their music for free and they can connect with as many people as they can reach, which can seem to be limitless. C&G needs to ramp up the social networking advertisement most definitely. It could be used as one method to bring the site back to where it was back in '05 and '06 (early '07 too, before things started sliding downhill). And in response to number six, I don't understand why people put celebrities on a pedestal. They are human beings like the rest of us with their own bullshit, drama, and issues to deal with. What I find personally annoying is when someone is so shocked at discovering this.

Over 25 ...

Keep it. Learn how to fix the little things, study how to fix some of the bigger ones and apply what you've learned if you're confident in your abilities. You can find parts fairly easy for a B-Body (I know around here you can, at least). There's a sense of pride in knowing you own a car that you really like; that you don't owe one red cent on it to anyone or any bank. Triple that if you work or attempt to work on that car and are successful at repairing or maintaining what you know how to repair or maintain. You, by no means, have wound up in the mess I wound up in after buying my Monte. That car wound up going from what seemed to be a nice, solid old DD candidate to tired old '80s car once I started digging into it and trying to find non-existent, extremely rare, or extremely overpriced parts with my expendable cash almost dried up (I suppose it's ironic, or strange at the least, that my finances literally improved after I rid myself of that car after fretting about buying parts; the turd who totaled the Firebird paid off that very next day).

hounds of hell

whiteknight Greg 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Purchased September 23rd, 2008 This '72 Cutlass Supreme ended up in my driveway with just a few ticks over 90,500 original miles on the clock. This is the first classic car I have ever sat behind the wheel of. Since the car wound up in the fleet, it has been repainted from a tired shade of pearl white to a custom shade of Oldsmobile Matador Red. The Rocket 350 V8 and TH-350R transmission are original to the car. Although at the moment it is in a mostly presentable state, it is far from finished with more and better upgrades to come. (Not really happy with the shot. I wanted to take a picture of it near Indian Fort Theatre, but I haven't had the chance. I could find a way to add a before picture to cover up the Firebird's carcass. If I don't resubmit, consider this to be my entry to be reviewed.)

I found another 2-dr. Nova wagon conversion almost exactly like yours BP in either Octane Auto Classifieds or Auto & RV Trader not that long ago. Pretty strange odds of that happening I thought, especially in that type of publication. I still think it's an awesome one-off.

I have a set of 15x7 Olds SS2 Rally Rims that I'm going to have painted before Winter officially arrives. They'll be painted black. :AH-HA_wink: I'm pretty unhappy with the overall quality of the paint job. You can't see it in the pics, but there's a lot of rough spots in it (there's a really nasty one on the driver's side fender). On the bright side, I do like the sheen of the clear, but the painter really got lazy with the wet sanding in places and if you had the chance to see the car in person it would really show. There's also another reason: the Cutty isn't true Matador Red. To darken the color a bit, I had the painter add a touch of maroon to it. Well, if you check out the eyebrow trim above the outboard driver's side headlight that fell off on a trip out of town, it's pretty chipped and beaten up. I can't have another painter match it up perfectly because I'm not sure exactly how much maroon was added to the paint (I think it's more than what I wanted). I'm a bit OCD so if it's a notch off and I can see it, it will bother me until it's right. It's better to start over with a clean sheet. The Cutty is rust free and the bodywork is 90 percent straight, so it won't be expensive to translate the car to a nice, rich hue of black. There's a guy back home that can do a better job about a grand cheaper than the amount given for the Cutty's current shotty paint job. First priority is getting the Regal painted, though. And thanks gm4life! I'm glad you like 'er!

I had a chance to snap a few pics of the Cutty today after returning from Pigeon Forge. I didn't take any pics of the back because the bumper that I still haven't replaced sort of ruins it all (the chrome is peeling off). OPGI has a holiday special on '71-'72 Cutlass rear bumpers so I'm going to order one soon. I'm also thinking about slapping a new coat of paint on it next year or the year after that (black this time).

Translation: I LUV KRAK!

Hur-durr, they should be designing a nose to look like this, hur-durr. Unless the next-gen F6 Camaro uses second-gen design cues, these particular second-gen inspired Firebird concepts will never work.

Have a great one.

The nose is too retro. Can't anyone do this correctly and sell the pieces as a kit? It ain't brain surgery or rocket science ya know.

They belong on a dock so that you can actually look at your wallpaper.

To bee: I think my Firebird was a Y87 posi car with T/A steering gear. Like I was telling 66, I didn't have any RPO codes to confirm this, but the visual evidence was there: it had T/A rims and larger sway bars, so I couldn't imagine these pieces being on the car from the factory without the posi diff and T/A steering gear.
