Paint or powder coat? Either way it looks VASTLY improved over the previous coverup.

Not meaning to shove a stick in anyone's eye....

Flounder, if your going to post restoration pics/ comments, you need to start a thread in the restoration section.

Stan , under normal circumstances I would agree but this IS a Build a Bandit car. Once all the previous builder's flaws are uncovered I WILL move it. Thank you for bringing that to light

George,

I would agree that we should have some photos in here of your car but I would put just the bad ones from before any additional work was done.  I would hate it if someone came online and didn't read the thread but saw pictures of your car and thought that they were before and afters from Build a bandit work!

Yeah I could agree with that. Post up the bad photos here in this thread then start an entire new thread over at the Resto section that shows how things are being fixed. That way there's no doubt as to who did what.

That's all we need , unsuspecting visitors thinking bab does quality work . Remove those frame pics and start a new thread in restoration and put the link in your sig the same way I did my gallery

I'm calling the news today. I'm gonna pitch a complaint asking why no one has done anything with Bob O Bandit.


If more people here call the more likely they will run a story

I have been following this thread and just wanted to show something from one of the happy customers shown the Build-a-bandit page..
http://build-a-bandit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Emily10.jpg

I am no expert in terms of what a show car T/A firebird looks like but i have been a fan of these cars for 20 years and can spot things that are just wrong. In the picture there are  80-81 Fuel/volt gauges in the 78 with different year cluster.
