anybody have a pic of a new ta with the old ta hood decal
like this . thinking of mabye putting the decal on my hood, but i want to know what it will look like

 

It's from a turbo 'bird, but you get the idea....

The hood vents on your LT1 might wreak havoc on any second-gen decal ideas.

 

check my 98 in the sig

 

that is the best bird/flames i have ever seen.

 

Has anyone done a true 4th Gen Phoenix on a 4th Gen hood? I've seen some 2nd Gens on there, but it's not quite right.

That white one is close, but it's heavily stylized.

 

If someone will give me their E-mail addy I can send a pic of what mine used to look like and you can post it on here.

 

That is freakin awesome!!!

That's painted right?

 

ya that looks tight , how much and where did you get it if you dont mind me askin

 

Thanks Guys, It's painted...I paid $1600 at a local guy here in town..I gave him a picture of the firebird & told him, make it on fire..That's what he came up with..

 

Its difficult to put a Phoenix hood decal on the newer 'birds because the hoods just aren't flat enough. It worked well on the older cars because they had wide, flat hoods, with the shaker scoop in the center close to the windshield, so the wings of the Phoenix could go up and around the sides of it. On the newer T/A's, the regular hoods are contoured to the front end, and its impossible to put a decal on a Ram Air car without it looking ridiculous.

 

heres my version of the modern firebird there are 6 firebirds hidden in the fire...i wanted the effect of them flying around me...like bodyguards lol...you get the idea...not exactly a hood decal tho lol



here are two of them

 

Impressive....most impressive..... Would you mind showing more pics of it? maybe at a distance?? Looks great!! How much did that paint job cost, if it can be known of course!

 

sure...the camera isnt so great tho...







goes all the way to the back...cost?...oh boy...an arm and a leg lol finding someone with the talent is the hard part... thanks for the compliment

 

That is really neat!

 

That sure looks different...

 

thanks...i thot it was a little different also...worth every penny

 

What hood is that? The nostrils look a bit awkward! I bet a touch up would a piece of cake huh? LOL!!

 

nice shots of these newer themes!

I agree on the trying to make an older 'bird hood decal work on a 4th gen can be very difficult. High Performance Pontiac did a feature on a 4th gen convertible that a guy did up to use a lot of 76 S/E gold cues, and the bird ended up being painted on by hand after trying a full size bird from Phoenix Graphix.

I'll see if I can find it.
