Default "Encore" brought to you by BBT Fabrications

Hello everyone!

Id like to share our most recent project being built by BBT Fab in Champaign, IL. It is a 1969 Firebird we like to call "Encore". This is the second car we have built for owner Sid Tracy. Our over all goal is to build a modern sports car out of the 69. We will be running products from Detroit Speed, Forgeline, Mast Motorsports, Ring Brothers and Recaro. First we contacted Ben Hermance to get some ideas on paper.

Hope you all enjoy,

Troy

I like the way Ben has the nose of the car right up against the front fenders, instead of leaving that big gap like GM did. I think that's the biggest fault with the exterior of these cars from the factory

The hood and tail panel is very cool, too!

WOW, like everyone else said that front end is amazing. The tail and hood are also badass. Awesome rendering for sure, can't wait to see the progress.
