A friend of mine has a VERY nice car that I've mentioned in the past.

This weekend when I was at school, he brought his car out to work out some of the cobwebs.

I snapped a few shots:

The decals were added to exactly match one of the GT's

The flares are factory, as is the oil cooler, gt shroud, bumpers and hoods, thermostat, etc:

Our local corner workers have a very long standing running gag about pink flamingos:

Me too Dan.
Its an inspiration to me.

Carl, If you read this thread I spoke with Dave from this board who is somewhat of a GT expert. Dave is keeping a registry of these cars and was wondering if you'd tell him the VIN #?

don't know the name of the color:

metallic green/8310

I know VIN and engine number, but won't post it public

it's not a factory M471 / GT, but an early conversion with original parts (likely one of the 400 sport kits)

hardly any info on the history available

So how did the factory install flairs? Buttweld or lap?
