Yes, and it will be flush mount and color match

I like it....I m glad you didn't sell this car.

Thx Vince.
But a little change on the plan again.
Sorry for the Firebird lovers, it will have a camaro front end

Oh! My heart! You're killing me. How could this happen?

In all seriousness, its your car and you should do what you want. I did like your ideas with the Firebird front end.

Well, it's your car.... Just remember that by converting to a more common camaro front end your car will become less unique. Styling preferences aside a Firebird is much less common than a camaro and that alone will help it stand out at an event, and then there is all the custom modifications you're doing.

And then there's the cost associated with it (the sheet metal, brackets, fasteners, light fixtures, etc) and time. It'll add to your project and be that much longer before you drive it. there is some wisdom with sticking to the plan.

Do what you love, it's your money!!! You have to be happy and live with the end results.

Thanks guys.

I just ran across your build. Very nice work so far. I feel you on changing the front end to a camaro. I too was looking for a camaro but ended up with a 67 firebird. I'm going to modify my front end to be a cross between camaro and firebird. I can't wait to see your car continue to come together!
