Very tidy VB Ben! The paint looks fairly new ?

almost got it Ben, I just edited it for you.
Just need to copy the image link from each individual picture on photobucket (hover your mouse over the image and a menu will come up, click the IMG code field and it will copy the link. Then click the picture icon http://www.brisbanecommodore.com/bccc/images/editor/insertimage.gif when you post and then paste the link you just copied and then press ok. You'll need to do it for each individual picture though

[HVB79]

[Darren]

Very tidy car. You have done a good job.

Very nice car. Fantastic effort I commend you. I've got an 88 firebird I want to "restore/modify". Funds and time are holding me back ATM. New bub takes up even more time but I'm watching overhaulin and other shows on fox and keeping motivated so it will happen. Keep up the good work and keep those pics coming through.
