Thanks guys, yeah, I'm very happy about the purchase. To be completely honest, I actually prefer the 70-73 Firebird styling a little but from a business perspective there are lots of opportunities for marketable improvements IMO. I'm going all out on this one when the time comes. There's no question 2nd gens are just starting to climb in popularity and I want to make a major impact with this one.

Renderings will come at some point, but after the Nova, I've learned not to show too much, too early. I'll be sure to keep everyone involved in the process though.

Not that I'm big on naming cars but I feel compelled to name this one for some reason. The very first name that came to mind was "Grudge" after one of my favorite Tool songs.

Interesting hood scoop.
Where have I seen one on those before. Is it from a FORD?

I haven't been able to figure out what it is since the first day I saw it. It most closely resembles a Ford scoop of some type but so far I haven't found an exact match.

It looks like a larger version of a Thunderbird scoop.
