i had a photoshop and a hand drawing i was working on (i was a design student

), but sice my comp crashed, i figured i'd post this bad boy so y'all know what's in the line up for the satty...except mine is blue and the stripe will be black (won't go up over the header panel, either) i'm also actually considering painting my old ansens gloss black, as the bare metal (?) is such a pain...maybe make the car stand out a lil more (possibly throw on some chrome or brushed trim rings for awhile ...idk

got the headers last weekend(made in USA stamped on em - don't see that much anymore), have my electronic distributor coming (hopefully this weekend), haven't decided on a carb yet...figured i'd try just changing the ignition (could be timing as the factory distributor is pretty worn). hopefully will get as much done as possible and get some pics up.

i believe i read that the rts runner was supposed to be done in blue, but for some reason it is orange - that's one more reason i decided on this look...i'll get some pics whenever i get her finished. that's just about right...i was gonna do it in white, but i have the black taillight stripes and i'm not gonna go up the fender at all, just come to a point on the bone line i think...i really like the white, or even silver would look sweet on blue, but with all the other black, i don't want it to look slopped together

yeah, arch was kickin my ass...pretty sure that's why i got sick...stayin up for 3 or 4 days without sleep, working on stuff all weekend...basically, no life or time to myself...sittin at my desk building stuff, drawing, etc. on top of having to work 20+ hours a week, unlike most of my college peers....and i was going to end up around 60K in debt and i know a guy who started at a good firm in chicago at only 35K...i make that and then some now without the extra 50K in debt......hoping to become a cop and maybe eventually get into the federal law enforcement area, but we'll see how it goes i guess

Hey Sloppy, think you could do a quicky on my 73? I was thinking about painting it Viper Red and leaving the black vinyl top and black wing.
