Need your feedback again ! FB Spoiler
 

Hey guys -
Asking for your honest feedback again. You definately kept me on the right track with the hood, now how about the rear spoiler ? Do you like the factory "ducktail" or the "69 T/A Wing" I think I would cut the wing down to about half the height in the rendering if I were to go that route.
Thanks a bunch !!

T/A wing.

T/A Wing :thumbsup:

I would do the Factory ducktail, I think it looks great! :

T/A wing!!!
No problem man I think we all like helping eachother! :thumbsup:

Factory

WINGLESS!!!! :thumbsup:

I agree. Wingless.

My vote is the T/A wing. That is what I am doing.

I have always liked the factory ducktail on all 1st gens the best. My vote is factory!

Stick with the Pontiac look. Do the T/A wing.

yeah what he said.

Thanks so far guys. Looks like its about evenly split so far. Not like the hood landslide...:_paranoid

My vote is for T/A Wing...

Im getting interested in this build!

T/A wing for sure, I wouldn't cut it down either

T/A wing :thumbsup:

I would lean the "duck tail" spoiler back and extend it by about an inch, or inch and a half. The T/A wing always looked like an off-the-shelf add-on IMO and the "duck tail" is on the right track but doesn't look as sleek. I'm always the guy that choses "other" on questionaires. :D

I am having a ball.....


The vote at this point is:

Ugly Duck Tail = 5

T/A = 8 + 1 = 9

Speedster, you know my thoughts....

T/A!!!!

Every Camaro in town has the duck tail. That T/A wing would look good and keep the Poncho theme going and be slick if you cut it down like you said. It's hard to argue with the cleanlines of a wingless trunk though.....
Call mine 1/2 vote for T/A and 1/2 for wingless!

Once again guys, thanks for all of your comments and feedback. Since you "are" the PT movement, your feedback means a ton. Thanks.


Roger -
Your GTO spoiler is the style that I like in terms of width versus height.
I do like the T/A wing, but I want to find the shortest version I can. Even with the same height as a GTO, the 67/68 firebird is so narrow that the aspect ratio makes it look very tall, almost a little ricer.

Early Ponitacs and National Parts Deport both have ones that fit a 68, the NPD one has 3-3/4" standoffs. Haven't heard back from Early Pontiacs yet. I am trying to locate a shorter one.

Still have the factory one that came off it (looks exactly the same as a 68 Camaro spoiler) too.

Your crazy. They made the spoiler taller because it looks better then a lower one.

My GTO is wide body = lower spoiler
Your Firebird is narrow body = taller spoiler

Hint - What spoiler looks better on a 70-73 Camaro, the tall or the little spoiler they had on the car?

You are beating your self up over nothing. Check out Franks Camaro with the T/A spolier. This is by far is the best look out there. Your drawings can tell you that. My two cents worth. Your car, what ever makes you happy.

Thanks for the feedback Roger. All good points. :)

T/A.... cuz T&A are always good :unibrow:

You have once again proven that you must have a side job as editor of MAXIM or FHM or Playboy... :hail:

I don't want to kill you guys with this subject, just wanted to post the difference with a cut down tail.

How about getting a shot with no type of wing or spoiler.

T/A wing .... and I like the cut down look :thumbsup:

I agree the cut down one looks the best......

I'll see if I can get one.

I believe Jon at Budnik sold a blue camaro with a shortened wing. Not sure who did it. Might check with him.

Thanks for the info. I contacted Jon and he sent me pics of the blue Camaro. Very cool. Appreciate the help.

Think about this one too man....Your the one that has to look at it everyday.... do what YOU want.....but I know it nice to see what every one else thinks too.... :D

Ultimately you are correct, but with the vast knowledgebase and good taste of most of the people here, it's a great sounding board. Tastes vary, but as in the case of the poll for the hood, the ratio was about 50:1. That sends a pretty strong signal - that I probably would not have been happy after it was too late...

But it's all good. The people on this site bring up tons of good points and new information with each thread. :)

Yes you are right ......thats why this site is so great! :thumbsup: Keep us updated!
