Thanks and Yes, that is the Biltmore. We had a car club day up there a few weeks back. Perfect day for pics.

Rocket racing wheels, badged original Camaro twin flags with posts ground off and double sided tape to ad to the stainless scripts.

American Car craft gradient flames rally stripes, one phase of using a scanner up front until return to stock as all the mailslot crap is just that IMO after 3 different.....not good at handling any weather ….. and some R/S light covers I use in the summer.

NRT aluminum louvers, zl1 spoiler, Sparks rear emblem.
There do exist the conversions for the front end to have the 60's look out there and then there is the Trans AM kits also both usually prohibitively expensive or tasteful but ….MEH..... there are also fake "Ice cube trays" for the hood, fake..plastic chrome bumpers, etc etc Me I went with what I felt was tasteful for me and reasonable though the wheels were $$$$ and I hate chrome pitting which happened in a year...wished they had lacquered aluminum.... should have went just powder coated. And yes that reflection in the fender by the script two pics up...…..that's me I am 2' tall and a fat little troll from the middle of the earth...LOL just kidding have to have a sense of humor....

Racing flame hat, yellow high visibility lens sunglasses, Hawaiian shirt, ROFL.... waiting longingly for beer with step daughter and wife at out door café....gave up on wait for burgers...left, Silvertown...Silverton Oregon home of Joe Dirt...LOL See in the old days they had damn tree in the middle of the road...SOB.....lol imagine that....quick swerve right Cleatus…...

I love what you did with your Sparks emblem! Can you explain your technique removing the paint with the paint remover?

Just get some aircraft quality paint remover in a can from the autoparts store and some of the wifeys q-tips and go to town with a wash cloth to clean the q tips..LOL Yup the dang paint on them is not bright red more a orange red and fades..... plain aluminum looks better IMO.
