                  yes it is but with a slight change the top half will be a platinum silver and the rest of it will be the same Maui blue thats what i am thinking but u never know with cars that might change soon.

                                i know your not dissing my paint, but its hard to make all happy i like it abd you dont, no harm done, besides Seen to many with the two tone third gens, so i guess i just wanted it to look like it did when it came off the assembly line except the wheels. and again i did say nothing was set in stone. Anywho thanks

                                    Fair enough. Nice find on the second one too, are you going to put the stock interior back in? I know its a resto but damn that stuff is ugly.

                                      That Trans AM looks really nice!! Do you have any more newer pics. I like seeing what people are doing with their rides. That engine bay looks really clean. And that paint job looks nice. Once it is rolling, it looks like it will be really sharp looking.
