DETAIL- custom "Painted" Firebird Trans Am emblem
CUSTOM PAINTED FIREBIRD TRANS AM EMBLEM
After a repaint of his black 1977 Firebird, the owner & his son, didn't want the stock decal. The car isn't all original, the motor has more horsepower than a stocker, he said. Let's do something a little different. Let's modify the Firebird decal, just a little. Gary added flames to the tips of the wings & added an explosion of reds & oranges.

ANOTHER MOTION ORIGINAL COMPLETELY PAINTED IN 2011, BY GARY
From August through October 2011 Gary has completely painted another original. It's the very last Maco Shark built by Motion. It has a radical paint scheme. Who else would know those paint details? It is a body off the chassis, restoration. The car was delivered to Gary's shop on Long Island, NY from Restorations Rods and Customs in Troy Ohio. After the Maco was painted, it was shipped back to the restoration shop to be assembled.
This Maco has just made its debut at the Muscle Car And Corvette Nationals in Chicago, IL on November 19th 2011, a very prestigious car show.
The THUMBNAILS BELOW are an abbreviated step by step, from primer through the final polishing.
