The reason more than anything on the wrap is the back plastic trim on the rear window has worn pretty bad with age. So I really want to have that trim area wrapped if possible.

This is my 93, had it since '00, when I turned 16. Had 40K on it then, around 76K now. Was a dead stock car, not so much any more. I would hang on to that Firehawk, looks like a beautiful example.

That's a thought as well, might look into that 👍

I have a 76 anniversary car. Not worthy of pics though. It's hacked to pieces patching it back together.

Who knows at what rate it will get done.

That's the fun of it though. I'd love to do that someday with my boy, god willing we have one 🤙 That's awesome though and I know we've hijacked my own thread but feel free man

This one is kinda being taken on with my father in law. He's got a 76 that he fully restored and got me into them. I've had a handful of mustangs before I got into trucks and then this one fell into my lap.


I have my first on the way so looks like I have a chance to share my love of hotrodding with the next generation now.


Here's where it's sitting right now.

Noticed all the LT1/TA discussion, so I thought I'd drop my 2 cents.

I still have my 97 WS6/M6. Ordered it from the factory. Black with camel interior. Mostly stock and restoring to new condition. Still a blast to drive.

5Liter, what color scheme are you planning on?

As for F150 content, I don't like "stickers" and would have to see what they look like in person before I'd put them on the truck.

I wanted to buy it but he got another offer that was insanely high and I told him he would be crazy not to accept. I still wish I would have bought that car. I've never been able to find another clean black LS1 Formula Firehawk.
I was trying to PM you but it wouldn't let me upload this pic from my phone. Looks like one is for sale right now in Lincoln. Came across this on a Firehawk Facebook group. Don't know specifics about it, someone just spotted this

Sadly, the wrong engine family and funny beak. ;-)

It's a y87 anniversary car so part of me wants to keep it all original on the exterior like this.





but then on the other hand, I might take my own spin on it and do black buckets on the headlights and grill pieces, skip the pinstripes, keep the gold bird on the hood and quarters, and run some of the new 18" year one snowflake wheels in gold. Then black out anything that can be blacked out so it's sinister and matches my truck.


Then I just have to find a black boat and my wife needs to hurry up and buy this black Cadillac she keeps talking about and our driveway will be complete.

Way to kill the thread.!

What have most of you been getting for time on your gloss black panels before you felt like they were starting to look like crap

Going back to our regularly scheduled program, I just tried Adams VRT on the pillars and it looks fabulous, not greasy. Prob stick to this. I've tried other Adams products before and so far I've loved everything I've used. Also, promo codes are always on their Facebook page so don't buy without a discount
