Great looking car but I prefer the spoiler without the drop in the middle.

Agreed.

Leave the wing like it is and you should be able to find a wide enough strip of single- row LED's to graft into the back and leave the stock profile. I've seen LED's on street rods for turn signals that were COMPLETELY flush mounted with the fender.

A 3rd brake light would be a welcome addition to that car.

Well it has been a while since I posted last, moved into new shop, finished up some other projects. I have the bird in its last stages of primer, I have the bottom finished up and the firewall delete plate done. My brother decided to have me install tubs (I'm currently installing those) and we are going with the 4 link rear and tubular control arms up front with coilovers and everything on the stock frame. I have more pics I can post later of the rest of the parts. I have the rear custom plates bent up and the mounting places welded up, looks good all together. I have a few areas to work on with the wing and such but it is really close to being ready for paint. We are going with 2005 Lambo pearl yellow on it with Alsa spray chrome and satin black accents on the rear and top. I want to get a render soon. Anyway here are the pics.

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.

Your progress looks nice on the '69.

I am interested in your rear end bumper as well as your modified scoops. Please let me know if you intent to follow through with this.

What size are your side walls on your tires? Your tires and wheels fit nice.

Did you have to modify your back seat with the mini tubes?

Thanks for your help.
