I decided to attend a weekend autofair when I went on vacation this year. While I was there I met a great group of F-body enthusiasts, the ACFA. The Atlanta Camaro Firebird Association. Saw some awesome cars and had a great time. Also won a Top 5 Award in my category. Here are a few pics

One of the guys from the ACFA hooked me up with some engine dress for the show. They are polished covers for the battery and fuse boxes.

There were quite a many vendors out at the show, as well. One sold "junked" diecast cars. My heart sank to see two of them...

Here is a pic of my Collector Edition Trans Am memoribilia. I have been collecting the items since I've gotten the car and have amassed quite a bit. From posters to t-shirts, jackets, diecasts, hats, etc...the list goes on and on.

And if GM doesn't sell it, then I usually end up having to make my own such as my Zip Zaps Mini R/C CETA and a Chrome CETA showchair.

The Zip Zap is sold at Radio Shack for $20. I got a Black one and custom painted it to match my car NOTE: A couple of months after I painted my own, Zip Zaps released the CETA body & wheels in a "Past & Present" 2-pack, which also included the 1977 Bandit Trans Am body & wheels

The Chair I picked up at Office Depot for $25 already chromed and I just applied one of my Collector Edition Firebird Decals to the seatback.

I also got my hands on quite a few Johnny Lightning CE's. Everytime I would find one in a store I would snap it up...its an addiction

10/25/04-It's Halloween time again!...and that means its time to carve some pumpkins. This year I decided to go ahead and carve one with the CE on it. So here are a couple of photos of the car on the front and the Collectorfbody.com logo on the back

10/28/05-Halloween 2005! No Trans Am inspired pumpkin this year. But I did take the chance to get a photo op with the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader! Happy Halloween!

4/15/06-Built a new carshow board that can withstand any strong winds. I had a problem with some of my other boards getting damaged from being blown over. It comes apart into 4 panels and is easy to transport in the hatch area of the car. The first shot is of the left-side and Front. Second is the Right-side and Back.

Once you have a Collector Edition Trans Am for long enough. It becomes a part of your life. It becomes a way that you live your life. You find different ways to keep yourself connected to the CETA and show your pride in owning such a special Breed of Bird. The latest way that I've shown my pride is by doing a little exterior theming to my new laptop
