Don't like the non split grille at all. Makes it look like a buick.

Thats not the ride height, that is with all the air out of the bags. The ride height is like 3" higher than those pics.

I can see that, but i personally like it. We took the huge peak out of the nose also. I dont know how many people recognized that.

Here is a buick we are just finishing up also.

Alot of people use the camaro quarters on the firebirds and just cut the side marker light out of their OE panel and weld it into the camaro quarter. The fenders and doors are practically the came. You using a camaro frontend too?

Yea the quarters are the same except the marker light and the gills. The doors are exactly the same. I'm using Camaro front end too. I'm going to have to do something with the dash so that it looks all Camaro. I'm probably going to end up getting the new dash sheetmetal for Camaro and replacing the Firebird one.

This car has a handmade dashboard with a mix of fiberglass and sheetmetal.

What we do is make a very rough mold out of cardboard and ductape. Fill it with expanding foam and let it dry. Then shape the foam to whatever shape we want. Then cover the foam with aluminum foil and then mold release. On top of that goes the fiberglass. It works out pretty good for making complicated shapes but makes a very big mess while shaping the foam.

Ive never been a fan of the 69s but that is some very nice work, especially under the hood. Nice job!

I saw this car in person a couple months ago at their shop. The pictures truly do not give it justice.
