she just laughs it off. i'm constantly making fun of her for being a streetwalker. she's not, but she could be.

one night there was like 40 some cents on the bed, i have NO idea why, so i yelled down something about not doing reverse cowgirl, and then had to explain to my mom what that was.

I actually really did get confused this time, I have 3 windows up... sorry man!

It's GAGT, all threads are random thoughts.

Seriously, though... we should let this get back on track. The man did some amazing work with his GA.

Thanks!! Last few pages made me LOL though

Just ordered from grafxwrks (sp?) the front and rear bumper "PONTIAC" inserts, the front bumper inlays, and the black arrowhead decal. Also ordered some black rubber side trim so waiting on that as well.

Our work will have a week shutdown after Thanksgiving so hopefully get those installed then along with the SC/T spoiler and paint the hood scoops and lower rear bumper black. I also need to adjust the drivers door back just a hair. The factory didnt do a great job aligning the doors. Then its time for a good detail just in time for winter! :banghead

Working out a deal for a mint dashpad and interior should be finished as well once thats in. I bought a drivers door kick panel/sill plate and a new hvac control panel since one of the knobs was broken.

Then my only other thing left on the list (if I dont do rims) is the exhaust. I plan to order some 70/71 GTO splitters to go on the GA

Gtomike72 11-13-2012 02:31 PM

Took a couple days off but did some work on my lunch break today. Recieved my Pontiac front bumper decal and the front and rear bumper side trim (still need the side trim but may have to order some rear bumper ones and cut those up)

Anyways starting to look like a car again!

Still think the spoiler looks funky.

Agreed...I set it back on there to see if the black trim changed my mind, but still dont like it black...

Thanks Cooper!

TDavis 11-13-2012 02:57 PM

Don't put a pin stripe on the side either, dunno if you where going to but I had the thought when I first got the car.

Later on decided not to because it would look too busy with the black rubber trim around the car.

No strip but I may do the retro Ram Air decals for the hood.

Oh order my exhaust tips today...70/71 GTO stainless splitters 2 1/4 inch diameter.

Also what do you guys think about the bumper scoops? Should I leave the silver border there or remove it and put the black mesh insert in there? I have it, just torn which one I like better.

TDavis 11-13-2012 04:17 PM

You can have the black grill insert there AND the silver border if I recall?

Gtomike72 11-13-2012 04:20 PM

The ones I have slide into where the insert is and would cover them...

Granted they have been painted since...

TDavis 11-13-2012 04:25 PM

Oh well I would put the grill insert in there so it matches everything.

Thats what Im starting to think...I still need to modify the hood scoop inserts though since they are a little too long (thats what she said! :leg) Just need to figure something to use to give it a clean cut.

Price of tea in China, you rang?

Gtomike72 11-26-2012 04:40 PM

Just installed my bumper vinyls. Looks good! Also took off the bumper arrowhead and installed just the black overlay in the place of the emblem so you see bodycolor inside the Pontiac "star" will get pics soon!

tipnitty 11-26-2012 04:53 PM

Personally I would paint the grills black. They look good, but they stand out just a little too much for my taste.

[ChaosweaveR] 11-26-2012 05:12 PM

Removed the entire arrowhead? Why?

Was talking to the owner if this thread since hes nifty with his hands.

Gtomike72 12-28-2012 10:17 PM

Sorry for the lack of updates, just been too cold to really do much. I did finally paint my door jams so I can install my door panels again! It's been ghetto driving around without them lol other than that, I haven't done much. I received my slp muffler, just need to find time to install it and put the tips on the car. Will update when I do!

[ChaosweaveR] 12-28-2012 11:08 PM

Wondering where you went. lol
