Here are a few pics from last weekend, and you can see how it looks different in each one. Finished the car on Wed and made the 1st pass Thursday morning....1st time down the track.

Not to sidetrack your thread but we took the funny car to SGMP for license runs at the Pre-Gators testing, years ago. I loved that track!

Very nice cars. My favorite all time is the 65 GTO sedan. Good to hear of your accomplishments. Funny I always wanted a 65 and all I have in the garage are Firebirds.

I like that color.
I've read a lot here of folks painting the tiger gold. Few like the original color much. I think yours passes for tiger gold and looks good. I have a 68 chevy pickup. 68 was the golden anniversary for the chevy pickup. I didn't know this when I bought it, as a 22 year old. The chevy gold and tiger might be the same. My first thought, ugly...

That’s a nice looking car. I like how it’s somewhat subtle but carries a big stick. That’s the look that I like.

I like them to look mild. Full interior, mufflers/exhaust, stock suspension, license plate, painted engine/heads etc. I even tried to hide the cage from outside the car as much as possible.

Welcome back Mike. My car and my son's 69 Bird follow this pattern. Nothing better in my opinion than a 'clean sleeper'. Especially at the track!
