79 hood on the 79 car... if your going for a stock look. i like both the same so its hard to say. if it was an 80 car id say keep the 80 hood...

thanks for the paint tip BTW. ill go pick some up soon.
Thats my thoughts. Id like to have a 79 and then a 80-81Z but i just dont think id want them both to look the same lol. And no problem man. Any thing you need hit me up -Matt

Alright well a small update. My best friend Nate really liked the louvers and after having them on i just wasnt sure that i totally loved them. But both my door glasses had some bad scratches on them. And nate had a set from a 76 Trans Am in great shape. So he came by today. I gave him the louvers since he would rather have them then pay to tint the window. And he gave me a nice set of door glasses and some weatherstrip. All in all a good trade off i think.

Just some pics on Nates Red Bird. They look great on the red with the black accents of the formula hood and rockers. Look better without the window tint under them too. On mine they blended in too much. (They have a great home AKohler883. Still the best louvers)

Lol yea. Hes my best friend and hes helped with all of the work on my car. So i figure he deserved it lol. Next is the firebird once the Z is done. Also just finished painting the silver on my gauge bezel. Its not perfect but looks pretty good i think.

Well yard sale went pretty good. Granted I was stuck inside most of the day sick. :mad: BUT... I cleaned up the dash a little and installed the dash bezel. I think it looks great. Also let the Z run for a few. Just the rumbling sound helped the day out. Of coarse by the time i really felt good. The sun was already going down and another day was gone. But oh well always got tomorrow.
