Time to post up some more updates on the Tomahawk!!! I've been working a lot with Brian from Problem Child Kustoms and I decided to make some last minute changes in the plan right before Brian finished the final drawing so he's working on the revisions. . .it will be a bit longer before a finalized concept drawing is complete and I can share it with you all. . .be patient. . .I'm sure it will be worth it.

I can provide some of the details on some of the changes that I've decided on though:
-Spott's Performance Super 400 hood
-'68 Firebird door windows (cleaner appearance without the vent windows that the '67's have)
-'68 Firebird rear side marker lights
-'69 Camaro front valance panel/foglights grafted into the '67 front valance panel (the '67 front valance panel will be filled in some as well. . .the '67 Firebird foglights/front marker lights will go away and that area will be filled in with metal. . .I've still got to figure out what I'm gonna do for front turn signals now though)
-'69 Firebird/TransAm tail lights
-hidden antennae
-gas cap door will be filled/smoothed into the rear tail light panel since the gas filler neck/cap are going to be relocated to the driver's side C-pillar
-Hurst pistol grip shifter with black pakkawood handle

That's the majority of what I've come up with so far. . .the item that is causing the most rework for Brian though is changing the front/rear fender flares. . .I'm going with some pretty radical flares. . .if you've seen the DynoWest Camaro you will know where I'm going. . .if you haven't seen this car do a search and you will find photo's on this website.

Let me know what you think and if anyone has suggestions on what to do about the front turn signals, a suggestion for more aerodynamic/attractive mirrors and door handles let me know (I've decided against the shaved door handles with poppers because a lot of tracks won't let you run with them).
