67 Firebird convert

[Southrod]

Hi guys,thought you might like to see a rendering of this 67 firebird that we are just starting for a customer here in our shop in Australia.

Looks good keep us updated. I hope to vist Australia some day before I get too old to enjoy it. My wife and I talked into moving there in the early 90s before we got married but were too chicken to take the chance. Hows the job market for teachers and crop production specialists and the economy in general?

nice convertible 'bird. Have you decided on the engine/trans combination yet?

[Southrod]

Thanks guys, the cars going to run a LS2 supercharged and and 4l65e auto
C5 front subframe and 4 link rear,the wheels in this rendition are just one style we are looking at,we're just cutting all the floors out and removing everything that is to be replaced,unfortunately for the owner he had already spent a lot of money at a not so good shop and the work was very substandard and requires a total redo,Ill post more pics once there is something to look at.check out our website at www.southernrodcustom.com.

It should look good when it is all done. Im liking the look of the car in that rendering. Now are you guys going to minitub the car?

[ProdigyCustoms]

I like the rendering, and of coarse i love Firebirds. The hood paint scheme is hot. We have been sending quite a few parts to Australia, Hot Rodding / Pro Touring must be alive and well over there.

Good luck

The car will be mini tubbed,it will run 19 inch rear wheels and 18 front
probably either 295-315 rear tyres fronts,still deciding on wheels design the tt 2's look ok in the pics but im leaning more toward a more euro look in a wheel, maybe a black centred 5 spoke design.
