I just got the new Hawk's 17x9 wheels on it and I have not had a chance to take a lot of pics but I hope to get some better ones soon. Here are a few I have.

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
Finally able to post the finished project. Literally finished painting less than 24 hours ago. Very big thanks to Bubbajones_ya for painting basically the entire car. It was a solid weekend of prep and work and bs but we finally finished it. This thing looks amazing in person. I just want to pull up a chair and stare at it all day long. We got it finished with the last coat of clear last night then started raining so we had to scramble to get it in the garage. Had to 're clear it which got rid of most of the water spots but a lot of debris got on it now. It was perfect before. It's cloudy and rainy today and tomorrow so more pictures to come but this is what I have so far. I am unbelievably excited!

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
Although not my car, I thought I would post it because, it is a 1991 Blue convertible, There was only about 57 or so Blue Firebird or Trans Am Convertibles in 1991...
The only color more rare in 1991 for the convertibles was the Medium Gray Metallic, there was only about 36 of those.

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
My IROC doesn't leave the garage with anything more than 10% chance of rain, and even then, I'm iffy...

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
Travis.... I hate weatherman/woman too. You are correct. Thing is it was a freak rain shower mist crap that came outta nowhere; just enough to mess the car up. I drove it again today and it is absolutely beautiful out............well so far!

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
I don't know about him selling it easily. 3rd Gens are not easy to get good money for. There are way too many low ballers and tire kickers that are into these cars. I almost took it off the market. I got tired of them. I have had 5 3rd Generation camaros. None were easy to sell.

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
Thanks! I never could figure out how to do that. The 87 was (or I should say is) a beautiful example. After I bought the corvette i never drove it anymore. Shifting the T5 was like rowing a boat compared to the TR6060.

Hahaha! No problem! I had a buddy with an 87 305TPI T5 in blue that he just sold too. Good looking car, too many mechanical issues though!

Well, now you need to lay out the other colors, esp yellow

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
I totally get what you mean about least favorite season, I just flushed the coolant and wouldn't you know it, a few inches of snow this morning. Just curious as to your car cover, I still need to get one, but don't want a cheapy that will rub the finish of the paint, and it appears you really love and protect your stuff

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
The only issue mine had was the AC stopped blowing cold. I think the compressor was going. I don't think the guy who bought mine cared about that because he put a wicked sound system in it almost right away. I guess the ERS stock radio didn't cut it for him LOL!! I found a gas receipt under the back seat cushion of mine from 1987. The gas price was 97 cents a gallon! Good times!!

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
I hate to say this bud, but I took mine out yesterday, had a blast and today looks like a repeat with sunny skies and temps in the 60's. This will be here first warm winter in 26 years. She spent the others in Pennsylvania and Washington. She's probably wondering when the hell I'm going to stop driving her and put her to bed, lol.

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
Yeah, I'm afraid this cold snap and it's snow (and accompanying salt) have put an end to sneaking out until for pleasure drives until spring time.

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
You really need to start a new thread for new questions and maybe do it(for this question) in the history or convertible sections. You'll get more answers
I have one of the 42-3 89 formula 350 cars myself.
PM OKFOZ on here, he has the info you seek.

Re: POST YOUR BLUE CAMAROS AND FIREBIRDS
What a great collection of cars. Here's mine from earlier this year. I've got a reprieve so far. KC has only got rain and no salt yet. Hope to get a week or two of driving before I put her away for winter. Sigh
