The front looks great on there and I love the back.

those pictures are depressing...reminds me of when my shop was clean.....I have to clean up after we are done with the bird. Been a crazy year...lots of fiberglass work makes more than the usual bodyshop mess...If I keep doing it I am gonna move the messy work to my home shop and no more mess here.

ok, been working like crazy, trying not to add to much but have some cool things going on the car, some may not happen before detroit but here are some teasers, lots of help today,

If you don't like it ....bare with me... it could be cool, jury is still out..

Ok, so, I finally fixed the one thing I truly hated.....the wheels, cheap knock offs. I added my own flare...what do you think? This is not photoshopped. put my own ZC label on em.

Interesting. I'm going to have to see the whole car before I can say what I think though. Good luck getting the car ready in time.

I understand you not liking the wheels.

But, they are what they are, and adding the yellow only draws more attention to them IMHO.

I have an overall picture of what I want,...I have from the beginning been trying to put supercar influences into the design....I love lambos, ferrari and other imports that are full of color and style. the rear represents some cues from lambos with the exhaust and honeycomb etc. the front nose is inspired by this

and you will really see this come out as the build progresses. The interior was influenced by a ferrari interior and a little by lambo. I designed the stripes several years back and finally got them on and I will show that when the car comes together more. just a little different racing stripe. kinda hard to get until it is done. I know this style isn't for everybody but there is a method to my madness. It is a firebird afterall....called wild turkey. I have just had so many restorations breaking up my time that it has come slowly, can't believe it will be done soon......THanks for all the imput and honest opinions
