It would be even better if I started with something like this:

Someone worked very hard to preserve a 78 Firebird Esprit "Sky Bird" edition. I can just hear ABBA singing "Afternoon Delight" in the background. I would just love to have my way with it--take it to the dark side.

I say drink heavily, write down some ideas while wasted, and then when you sober up you try an decipher the drunken chicken scratch to see if you came up with any good ideas. But that's just what I do. Notice I haven't come up with anything though. Then again, some egyptologists are working on what my hyroglyphics said...... :rolleyes:

What? Like scribble "of Prey" in red letters under Sky Bird? Perhaps paint the foofoo bird graphic black with red eyes? That'd be SWEET! Sorry..had to.

I actually dig the late 70's Firebirds and TA's. I'd love to see it done in a PT/Street Fighter style.

Best of luck with it!

Steve,

It wasn't Abba, it was the 4 Man Hand Job band or the Ben Dover I'll Drive Band or something like that.

NO!! Starland Vocal Band, they opened a Mike's Quickie Lube and Texas Style Chili in Villa Rica, Ga. last week :D

I really need to get workin on the Heap.

Steve Chryssos 12-18-2004 04:37 AM

I thought the Starland Vocal Band wrote "Kung Fu Fightin"

Ummgawa 12-18-2004 08:15 AM

Nah, that was Hung Dung and the Skid Marks. I think.

****, I say build the freakin' wagon!! Customize the crap out of it and come power tour, it will be the funnest experience hauling 9 or 10 people along! I think a roots style blown big block should power it along with a wicked, in your face paint scheme with bright colors with air brushings (people, characters, etc.), with some 20"-24" wheels rolling the behemoth. That would be awesome in my books. Just my $0.02! :eek:

Keith 12-21-2004 05:33 PM

My preference is the wagon but......
When oh when will someone do a g-machine Opal GT? :cool:

Okay well, after watching Rides last night and seeing Leno's Toronado come together, the search is over: I will tear into my bone stock, 65K mile 1965 Riviera. I have been resisting the urge to modify this car, but after seeing the Toronado, my mind is made up.

I'll start by getting it off the ground and taking some measurements.

Done!
Hack the Riv!

Ricochet 12-22-2004 05:37 AM

That was a great episode last night!! I have seen a couple Rivs done & look great. I know you will put a twist on it that will look awesome and perform even better!! Good luck!!
