You know i'll share it when i get on tblake !

Oh this also is something i see wrong with this topic we have here for are Grand Prix's !

No one really shares what they have done to upgrade , enhance , or trick out the Grand Prix's . Heck i only see a few even add pics of their GP in their sig's

I know we all have question about this and that concerning are cars but it would also be nice to see what going on with your daily driver and that weekend door slammer you guys are working with !

So if any mods read this can we have a POST YOUR GRAND PIC thread ?Cause i would enjoy sharing mine and seeing what other Grand Prix fans are rollin in !

Well i got some work done this week on my new hood !I got it ready to paint ! Here's a quick look !



Going to be replacing this !

Well took advantage of the nice weather we had again today and went ahead and set the hood in color and set it on the car ! I still need to paint it! It is just setting in Satin white sealer to keep it from the elements of the weather ! Here are a few pics if anyone cares to look at them !

jees man, it looks pretty nice. It seems to accent that pontiac emblem in your grill. I wish I could do body work even half as nice as that. But hey, nice work. It looks good!!! Keep up the good work.

The car has 168,000 but i averaged it out to be 16,500 miles a year so thats not to bad right ? I have heard good and bad about these cars but it caught my ideas and mixed reveiws seem to point that it is a strong car and most problems were do to lack of personal up keep ! Heck i even read on here someone has 300,000 plus mlies and the Grand Prix still runs strong !


Here a pic of the car as it sets today !



Its needs a hood ! The old lady hit a deer about 2yrs ago ! But other then that its is very very clean car inside and out with no other damage !

I heard something about the vin#'s that had K in it had some type of performance upgrade ! Is that ture ? Mine does have it and i was just wondering !

Another story i heard is the Grand Prix's go a blaze for no reason at all ! Any truth to that or is that just another case of bad personal up keep ?

I hope i am not posting this in the wrong area ! I just wanted to share my new 1:1 project ! I am not new to AF i mostly post in the Model section of AUTOART ! And now that i have the base set for a real 1:1 project I hope to be here on the Grand Prix fourm often aswhile !


Or and just in case you wanted to know what i have planned here a quick photo shop i did !

how did you do that picture of the photo shop...i'm tryn to find a website to see how my car would look in different colors and designs, to decide what how I want my car.
