The interior.
http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/p...g?t=1232333512
Interior at night, this is an old pic, I changed the head unit since this pic to a Pioneer N4, which still has red leds.
http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/p...g?t=1232334208
Old pics of the engine bay, I've done more mods since then, added a strut bar, fuse covers, more leds, EL neon wire, headers and some other goodies. CheckeredFlagStore covers are on the way soon, they will be red to match the body and have matching checkered flag racing stripes like on the body.

They're 12 inch StreetGlow tube neons under the dash.Quote:

This is what I see at night.
http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/p...g?t=1232677938
I also installed EL neon wire on the rear speakers.
http://streetglow.com/site/accessories.elwire5.php
I wrapped the edge of the speakers in the glowing wire, sorry if the quality of the pic isn't that clear but you can see it in the rear seat area to the left of the pic, its the red glowing ring.

You get these parts at some auto parts stores, Advance Discount Auto, and Autozone carry them. You can also find them at a car stereo shop. I got them at Advance, they had the best selection. They'll have the 12 inch tube no worry, the EL neon is harder to find while in stock, I had to order mine. When you're choosing yours I'd get the 12 inch over the 9 or 6 any day, the difference in price is minimal compared to the difference in size. $45 for the 12 inch and $43 for the 9 inch, and $40 for the 6 inch. So for another 1/8th of the price you double the size of the tube between the 6 and 12, that's a good deal. But don't mind me, its your car, keep it as bright as you want it, every one to his own preferences.
Check out oznium.com I had there 2 piece cold cathodes in my other car and there bright but the tube is much smaller and easier to hide under a dash. You couldn't even see my tubes in my other car
I have seen some pretty awsome T/A's here and this is not as nice as some but my "02" T/A is special to me http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/r...arpassside.jpg

Wow you've owned a lot of TAs.
Yea you might say I have an obsession for them. I have a red / silver "85" T/A that I bought of E-Bay that I am restoring but We went to 4 day weeks where I work and that put a damper on things
I know the feeling... thats why im able to make this post:(Quote:

I bet you get a lot of nice driving weather down in Florida when the rain and the hurricanes arn't going through
I love the red interior lights you have I plan to do the same thing but first I am trying to find gauges for my A-pillar that has the res background light. all the auto part stores around here only carry blue or white
Thanks I appreciate it, yeah Florida gets good weather, too bad I'm in New York right now in college, my ride is back home, miss it dearly :cry2:Quote:

Autometer ES Series:
http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugeop.aspx?sid=67
Autometer ES series gauges are red at night, white in the day like our stock gauges. Scroll to the top part in the link that says view illumination, it shows how they look at night.
Autometer NEXUS Series:
http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugeop.aspx?sid=42
You can try Autometer NEXUS series gauges as well, but they're expensive as hell and you need a special control unit for them to get them to work.
Glowshift is my favorite though:
http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/
7 different colors in one gauge that you can cycle through and choose. They are the closest to the original look I have seen, and the prices are very competitive.
http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/93-02...gepackage.aspx
The price is a steal, $150 dollars for their package which includes the A-Pillar Pod with the gauges of your choice and all the required installation equipment.
eGauges is a site that carries several brands, they have red gauges:
http://www.egauges.com/
Prosport has red as well, good stuff on that site, great prices too:
http://prosportgauges.com/gauges.aspx
Hope you find what you're looking for, good luck.
Nice car, i like the blackbird hood stripes. i was thinkin of goin with black wheels when i get the money. i think black on the mrm would go good togetherQuote:

All T/As are special. You should be very proud. Nice looking ride bro.Quote:

Yea you are right all of them are special I have 2 now but owned 4 There is something about owning them that makes you feel proud. The more you do to them the more you make it your own.Quote:

Yeah, my cousin had a 74 Firebird and was one of my first clutch experiences.......lol. It rolled forward into a small ditch cuz I didn't understand brake, clutch and gas slowly.
1978 and 1979 were good years. I remember a lot of those old 60's and 70's muscle cars bought off the showroom and straight to the track. Or, county road where I'm from......lol.
Do you still have the 73? I almost bought one here last summer but, I hesitated for a day and it was gone.
yea and as for my attire I had the silk shirt bellbottom pants and the 4 inch platform shoes yea I was stylin:lol:
Nope i dont I bought that car for $3500 and sold it to get a GMC 4x4 because all my friends were doing it. What a dumb a** i was if I had that car I could get $35000 for it now but if I still had it I don't think I would want to sell itQuote:
Originally Posted by BIG GUNS

The shirt should be real silk though unless its good nylon. Rayon shows you as cheap.....lol.
Funny how puka shells are all the rage now. I just broke my old ones out of the 'stuff box' and I didn't miss a beat.
If you're watching closely, that style is creeping back. The only diff now, is that the shirt tails are out. We had ours tucked in with a nice belt.
Shag hair cut mandatory......lol. The mullet was later.
Of course you wouldn't want to sell it now. You don't think about these things at that time. It's only now that we realize a few things.Quote:

with the TFS heads cam package. My only hold up is streetability as a DD. I that prolly sounds strange for a DD but even if I had another car i wouldnt drive it. Id put the 500hp cam with the LS6 intake i have with the package hopeing to make it streetable. Of course id get a stall. But what do you think. sorry to jack the thread
theres a vid about three messages up with my sound. I dont know if its louder the the LM1 but its fuckin loud and i like it. or hereQuote:

Probably not DD here in Colorado.
I mean...if I HAD too...I could. Snow tires would be a must.
Keep in mind...as the power level goes up, the traction goes down. Makes driving on any snow that much harder.
Personally...if you can afford to drop $10K into a motor, spend an extra $1K for a honda or something as a DD.
yeah, man i got an extra mustang but... damn who wants to drive thatQuote:

No power, brakes suck suspention sucks. I put some brembo rotors and sportline springs on it and it helped but the power is hopeless. My wife has a GT and almost as bad. LS1 All day.Quote:

PS your car looks great, the stance is amazing
Thanks alot, post a few pic of your car i really like that color, im going to paint mine soon and am looking for a darker color, that looks really good.Quote:

We are basicly desert here. The mountains are the cold part of Colorado. I never completely put the car up for the winter because we always get random 60+ degree days every year.Quote:

I did the old school thing too but I put silver metalic birds on my sail panels.

Im lookin for a new Exhaust System...Any recommendations???
OMG NOOOOO! you have the single exhuast tip ..dont touch it..or if you do...keep it..those are rare and with 18k on your ws6 vert(pretty rare) id keep it..if you want to mod..i dont think you picked the smartest car to do that...but with that being said..magnaflow cat back..you will love itQuote:

Okay...... I have a question for you. I have an 02 Artic White M6 with just over 10k miles on it and I'm about to completely overhaul the entire exhaust. You're saying don't do it? I've modded the car but kept EVERY piece of original parts so it can be put back. Still don't do it?Quote:
