After sanding, scraping, hamering, sanding, cutting, welding, hamering, bondoing, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, sanding ... did I mentioned sanding ... my right arm is bigger than the left one.

Almost there

Alas the guy screewed up the color, what part of color matching you don't understand uh? A bit to light, thus orangish under the sun.

It does look Orngish in the sun but a cherry red in the shade.

Put my '69 Olds .455 in that Trans Am, and it'll sit there all week and burn up a tank of gas and two tires before it even moves.

Think what it would do in a Trans Am.

Get some more pictures of the car... only leave the hood down. That picture made me cringe. And straighten out your passenger side headlight... it will screw up your highbeams placed like that.

I love the 73... the last decent Firebird. This is a great start for a muscle car froggy. Now start hanging out with lazs so he can offer you some advice with that dog of a 455.
