69 firebird update

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

Heres some more pics, front end, still gets lexan with black 1/2 ring painted on the lexan. black grill and some stripes on the bottom, and the fog light area will be blacked out as well with smoked fog lights. The grill is for the nose, just got them back from the machine shop and fit to front end.

Nice.


Heard this ...

I like your goals for this project and how you're going about executing them.

Great quote and I totally agree with you, Skip.

for the look you are going for I hope you have a set of yellow Brembos coming. Wheels look fine.

here are some pics of interior coming together...been working around the clock, getting my wing done now. the shifter was all redone to remove b&m logo and customize with interior, The center console I built came out great, it is comprised of 9 hand made pieces not counting the lids. we made everything except the rings for the cup holders everything works, fits as planned. rear seats roll cage hoop are next and then the door panels and front seats. we have a suede headliner and all the amps are in. We have a custom sub box and trunk enclosure in process. the rear panels are figerglass, coated in soft touch clear and have suede inserts and leather arm pads. we have 2 1600watt infinity amps (one for each 10" woofer)and one 1200 4 way for the 6x9 infinities and the 6 inch woofer/mid and tweeter in the doors.
