It's nice to see something different and pulled off nicely. Great job! More pics of all angles would be great!

I remember the thread where you did that spoiler. Absolutely love how the car is coming together.

I love the fact that if someone wasn't familiar with these cars, they wouldn't know that your car wasn't factory. The quality looks incredible.

Takes a lot to impress me, and you sir, have done it.

Well staying with the unique concept, not many yellow TA's besides the cetas and they are a dull yellow. Wanted to b different, plus yellow is my fav

Ducktail for a camaro. Search on here for the thread. Very detailed if u wanna know more.

Thanks man! I tried! The goal was different, but not stepping over the tasteful line into tacky or overly tampered with.

I always wanted to do this but never found a hood at a good enough price and never tried out my fiberglass skills either. Awesome job
Black car with the bars pretty much just deleted? That's the guy who inspired me to try this. Lol I took it a bit further but still give him kudos. I wouldn't have had the ***** if I hadn't seen him do it. Lol and I have nightmares about fiberglass now. Ha

Thanks! Couldn't agree more!

Will post some within the next 48 for you guys.

No leaving the tails. I love honey comb. They are sequential too so when it's on it sets them off. I'm putting a Trans am decal on the spoiler just above the tails tho. Like on the old TA's. Rear of the car will have a bit of a heritage theme inspired by the 2003 Trans am. But I wouldn't do a shaker front bc I'm too in love with the hood scoops I got now. Lol

Thank you! But I regret to inform you that my body work isn't flawless, and the paint isn't either. The car will never be a trailor queen, I don't want it perfect tho bc it would never come out from beneath the car cover, and I'd still spend 6 hours a week cleaning it. Lol

I love the center nose peiece too. I think the stock firebird and ws6 hoods would benefit from that as well. The way GM did the hoods on these cars kinda seems like an after thought to some degree with the way the hoods dont exactly flow into the bumper. I still like them stock but I think the way you did the center of the nose is awesome!

Great work! Your car is very unique, I like it a lot. I would like to see some side profile pictures to see the lip on the spoiler a little better...

Hood looks fantastic, love the spoiler but IMHO the rear bumper cover and lack of side skirts. Make the ta front bumper cover look out of place but sweet car none the less and nice to see something different

Looks awesome. I also think I would prefer the T/A style bumper and a blacked out center panel.
