Great looking project! I really like the rear bumper fitment! Would you be interested in making any more of those rear panels?

Actually I have been kicking the idea around of pulling molds for glass fiber pieces off the rear end lower area and a whole bumper plug. I also may pull molds off the front fenders for the scoops, I was going to make it from the bodline down and make a carbon fiber add on piece that would work with any fender with basically no modifications just stick it on. I probably should, the hard part is done on the car and I saved the files for the rear panels, pretty simple to reproduce. I still want to do some mods to the front end but time is running out as well as money. anyway, thanks for the compliments

If your question is regarding doing more metal work on another one, I could definitly do that also.

A 'glass rear bumper would be interesting... we're starting a '69 Bird project and the rear bumper sticks out way to far... I'll chat with the owner about some ideas. I'll keep you posted!

Does anyone know of a very small hi flow muffler that is good quality? I am needing to get two lined up for the exhaust system. the way I am doing it requires small sizes to tuck up inside. I don't have exact measurements, I just wondered if there were some compact aftermarket one available. thanks.

Here are some updates. I did this last night and it was gone this morning, weird,....anyway, agian.....

I am going to paint it the yellow the new camaros have. The gas filler is a chopper style pop open tank, never mind the bumper being loose, I didn't tighten it down for the pics. Here is a render I shopped to get an idea of paint scheme. I am finishing up the front end and DSE 4link and hope to dismantle and paint soon. Those aren't the wheels we are going to use. I stole them from a truck I had in the shop getting work done on the brakes. Just had to se it lay low.

Putting yellow on a '69 T/A or T/A clone is a sure sign of a cry for help. :willy:

I have to say how impressed I am with this build. I love Pontiacs and always have. I guess now that the Indian is going to get killed off by GM, more folk will express their fondness for the brand. Keep the pictures coming!!:thumbsup:

Thanks for the replies. I would rather it be blue too. but.......And the goal wasn't a TA clone, just liked the scoops and wing. What do you think of the stripes on the hood? You can't see it clear in the pic but I plan on a line drawing of a more contemporary bird (kinda grunge art style) done so faintly that you won't see it until close up, probably in pearl. anyway, I have to work on that render.
