69 firebird update

Why will it be yellow, is it a customer car?

[zingercustoms]

yes, it is a customer's car, a cheap dirty customer, my redneck older brother. He likes yellow for some odd reason. At least it will be two tone with silver, and the yellow will be a metallic with pearl. not soooo bad.

I have a mod in mind for the TA wing. I have done a quick edit in photoshop showing the basic change. I want to compliment the shape in the rear taillight panel and bumper, as well as add a LED 3rd brake light. What do you like better? The way it is or the change. Also I have made some progress since these pics, just moved into my new shop a couple months back and have this in the next stage of primer, underbody is primered and undercoated with truck bed liner. looks great. this will be a driver so I didn't go crazy on the underneath. I have added a flush mount chopper style pop up gas cap to the lower honeycomb panel as well as made that panel match the shape of roll pan. I have also installed the mounting brackets for both rear panels and they look good with flush mount allen head screws. I have designed the rear tail pipes also, 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" oval pipe(not sure those are the exact demenssions but close), there will be 4 alltogether diving under the gas tank and up behind the honeycomb lower panel. It will be a dominent part of the rear view. I also plan on changine the headlight covers to be squinted and angled for a modern look and also add some to the front bumper to make it appear shorter in height and more aggressive. what do you think? I will post updated pics soon.
Thanks for your help!

Looks great, Red lights would look cool coming throught tail panel accent.

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.

Putting yellow on a '69 T/A or T/A clone is a sure sign of a cry for help.
