Formula Progress (Pics inside)

It's been a while since I've posted a pic of my thirdgen, so I figured I'd give an update on how the body work is going and post a few pictures.

The car is about 5 different colors now. One other day this week I plan on actually primering it all black so that it is at least one color until I get it painted.

I ordered my Ram-Air II hood from Hawks this morning, and they have it in stock. Bruce said he'd ship it today or tomorrow (woohoo!) Then in a few weeks I'll order my fourth-gen replica spoiler for the back. I'll primer those black as well so that the entire car is flat black for the meantime.

Here's what my car looks like currently (finally got around to taking the side mirrors off, lol). I would have already finished it up but I killed my sander yesterday .

It's straight-ish. There's a few trouble spots but they're getting taken care of for the most part.



I can't wait to see it with new paint either!!! I'm going with some shade of bright red again. Haven't actually chosen a specific shade of red. But basically your bright "arrest me" red color.

And by the way, the before shot is in my sig. These are the during shots; I can't wait for the "after" shots!

I'm going with GM 81U Bright red, you've seen the pics in my thread. It's off the 98+ Fbodies, and GM probably used it on other cars too. VERY bright.. :hail:

I think you should do that color
