Hey All, got a question and maybe a suggestion. Many of us have collections or have found resources for vintage Trans Am car pictures. Maybe we could start posting some links to those resources ?? I know I recently started looking for some pics of Pantera's that raced and found a great one but it took awhile. A central "library" would be great.

yep...Im officially jealous...I think all of you guys should start a thread with pics only and that way ppl viewing can see what really brings ppl to this class
without saying to much...or them having to "READ" to much..lol
I think it will also help with all this back and forward about "CORRECT" TA trim
great job on all the paint jobs Ive seen....Ive stolen them and posted them in my TA pics for 2008..lol....except Dirlas...I have to see his all the time anyway...dont think I could stand to view it on my computer too....lol
that is actually a great ideal Myron. I hate the way a thread becomes a 'forum' around here w/ 100's of pages to read through. A true TA forum may be needed at this time, then we could have smaller, more specific discussions...threads that are not 100 pages deep.

We don`t have VTA in Norway but we try to fire up a retro class.
This is my Retro racing Opel kadett B

Cars like that would be nice to see being run and painted by some of those VTA guys.

window tint
Okay, somebody should have warned me about Pactra window tint. I finished painting my Camero body and decided to tint the windows. Seen a couple of paint jobs in this thread and thought it would look good. Go to my LHS and pick up a can of Pactra (thats all they had). Sprayed it on, not too heavy, I know its tint. Sit the car down for a couple of hours to dry, went on to do other things.
Came back to check on the car, noticed what looked like finger prints on the outside, on the protective film. Peeled it back at those spots and AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH HHH!!!!!!!!!!! The tint had bleed through the original paint, plus it had some small runs on the drivers window!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!! CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!!! $50 down the drain (body + paint). Oh well, I'll still be out at Leisure Hours Raceway this Sunday, the 13th, weather permitting. I'll be the guy with the red and silver Camaro, and a pissed-off look on my face. Live and learn.

Nice work Dodgeboy.
What sort of tape/mask are you using for the bumpers?
I can't seem to tape them off without any bleed through.

I use the Tamiya masking tape , and if you have bleed threw you can use a wooden dowel and sharpen it to a point and rub the extra paint off sometimes.
