I was wondering how you got the bird to light up? Did you buy that or make it. If you made if can you maybe describe to me how you did it.

Are you talking about the aztek yellow one? He has a 72 TA i think also and a go ped. If it's the same guy, he has the install pics (sorta) on his site. It isn't a complete guide but heres what I figure. I think he bought a clear firebird front plate cover, then painted all except the bubbled firebird graphic. Then he used those neon lights you put under the car, only they are stripped clear, Or can you buy them clear? He mounted two of those in there. I think it's awesome.

Go to web page they sell the clear firebird front plate covers.Then you can get a vinyl bird overlay for the cover(they sell them also), paint the cover whatever color you want, then take the vinyl back off. Then put a neon tag frame behind it and there you are.......light-up bird! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Naw, just get a rattle can from Walmart. I sprayed mine from the inside, though. That way there is no sanding or having to do any clearcoat.
