Not to be rude but I'm pretty sure he's going for something to look different than everyone else.

Revin brings up a pretty good point Casey, are you going to paint the blower blue too or leave it red?
Can't wait to see it in person this summer. Looks good here in pics and I'm sure, as with most cars/colors, pics probably don't do it justice.

The factory 1987 blue code for PPG is 161317. I'm curious to see how much I need to buy. The single stage laquer according to PPG will polish to a high gloss. I'd also guess you could change how it looks by what color primer you'd end up using.

Nice blue! I can't tell from the pics what shade it is, but it looks like a cobalt or bright blue metallic. Keep the pics coming! Always like seeing blue ones.

Dave kind of hit it, when it comes to motor work etc I'm more then willing to share info. I kind of want to be unique like last time, I don't believe any fiero I saw had the red color I went with.

I might actually paint the blower gunmetal/silver and keep the valve covers red. I think blue with the red fuel rails would look a bit odd My brothers saying end of April it'll be good to go, kind of bummed about that. It'll give me time to save up for the 42.5 injectors.

No idea what gun, my brother had me do pretty much all the prepping tearing down and he's just going over the work and painting it. I guess even if it's taking longer then I expected can't beat a good paint job for free. About the guns and compressor no idea what he's using, he works at a body shop. Hopefully we get some more done in these next 2 weeks. I know he talked about reassembly and the week after that I'll have friday, saturday and sunday to monkey with it.

ok haven't really done to much, things have came up kind of slowed us down. I nabbed a few more pics, my mirrors looked like complete crap (should've gotten before pics) not sure if the body shop who painted it last time prepped my mirrors right, they chipped easily and then looked like pitted garbage My brother didn't care for how wavy the spoiler was so he fixed it then reprimed it. I'll post back if with any major changes


I know tomorrow were going to reassemble the body and it should be good to go next weekend! time to tear up the roads and play with people

Thanks for the update. YOur car is going to look very nice in that Blue. I can not wait to see the car completed. Are you bringing it to the MFC show or Auburn in July?

Mirrors looking good. Can't wait to see it in it's new even flashier orange when it's done.

yeah most likely to one of those meets

we got the rear fascia and front on today I must admit I had a chub

I forgot my darn digital camera though!! ugh! we still have some assembly left it should be 99% done next weekend. My brother wants the finish to look like glass, I'll post a pic tomorrow night after I get home from work. I plan on stoppin by to snag some pics.

it's the new trend Dave I can't wait to see your flashy yeller formula with that shiney DOHC

pics as promised were going to paint the trim black don't worry! yeah we needed to go over the top half again, but oh well.

So, when's he gonna do my formula?

Nice blue there, Low_Key...

BTW, I had a friend who had a blue color like yours on his GT.

It was some nice...too bad GM didn't come stock with the "darker" blue.

Good Luck, on your project.

Excellent job on the color choice, that has to be the nicest blue I've ever seen. I can't wait to see pictures of it all back together and in the sun.

out in the sun







I plan on pulling an all dayer to get the doors/scoops/top painted and all back together, yeah like I said we had to go over some crap. We did get the lower trim on the rear painted black.

You might get to see that color on a fast back soon enough, as my friend down here wants to paint his that color. His body work is almost done, he just doesnt have another car to drive while he paints it.

Looking good!

Damn, very nice looking. I too loved the red of your car, but I might like the blue even better!


...too bad you stole my color idea. hehe

doh the only thing holding me back is the bottom cause of a darn rivet gun!!!

custom strip we put on goes good if you ask me


last but not least


we got half the car wheeled/buffed other half tomorrow along with doing little small things. Now should the formula go back on the doors

[This message has been edited by LoW_KeY (edited 05-13-2006).]

That looks great.

Car looks good. What would the emblems look like if you made a recessed area and inserted them in the black trim just above where they currently are located?? I am envisioning a more "factory" look with the emblems integrated into the trim piece. I am not sure if that is even a viable option with the way the trim is molded, but it is just a thought that I figured I would throw out there.

**never mind, just realized your already done. Looks great.

thanks color is almost like my red way different in the sun light.. well I think any colors like that





better idea of how it looks.

emblem idea sounds good but I'm done, few touch ups still need to be done brother didn't do a 100% job
