Maybe that's why so many people in that picture are wandering around pointing.

That's the one, no, its that one, erm, no that one. It s the orange one with a big flag on the roof and 01 on the doors!

Have you decided on Pro Tour or Trans Am for the look ? I got to admit although the PT look is awesome I got some early TA DVD's and I'm sold on that nostalgic race car look.

At the moment I'm leaning towards the Trans Am look like my white T/A (pics posted elsewhere). I just can't make up my mind :lol: I'm torn between keeping it looking like a nice clean Z/28, red with black stripes & just the Superlite wheels as a deviation from stock looking, OR,... going the T/A route with the period decals, race number 37, similar to those on my T/A, or possibly white roundals, with the name SoLoCo Camaro in gold leaf lettering (pinstriped in black) emblazoned down the rear 1/4 panels.(similar to the Penske/Donohue '69 Sunoco Camaro. The centres of the wheels would be painted dark charcoal with polished rims & it'll be slammed down to the ground. Either way the car's gonna be red :lol: :lol:

Either way this thing should have plenty of grunt (around 500+ hp & torque) & circuit racer handling. Whatcha all reckon, nice looking Z/28 or balls out racer?
Cheers..Nige

If it was mine I would keep it clean, no decals. Not saying I don't like decals because your white TA looked great with them but sometimes it can look a bit too soppy if they're not nicely/strategically placed.

I suppose it also depends on what you want to use the car for. If it's a track day car then chuck the decals on and make it look faster :lol: If it's for sunny day cruising and shows I'd leave them off.

As you said to me before, if they peel off easily enough then you can put them on for a few weeks and see what you think. It's going to look awesome no matter what you do :twisted:

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll wait until it's finished & on the road & then decide on the final look, as it's only a matter of adding the decals to change the whole look of the car as everything else is all in place. The car's gonna be used for sprints initially, with the idea of possibly going circuit racing at a later stage ( the car's being built with this in mind anyway) but it'll also double as a fun, sunny day, cruising car. Maybe I really need 2 cars :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Now that's more like it, a much better plan. Don't forget you'll need another one as a spare and one for shopping. :lol:
