            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.

                              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.
