Sorry..... just thinking out loud.

I'm with you Jason. Scott Sullivan was amazing. The details he put into his cars were top notch. Actually on par in my opinion with some of the work today. He was a really cool guy as well. He actually stayed at a friends house and did some air brush work on 2 of my friends street rods. Great guy to talk to and really talented. His take on a P-T ride would definitely be cool......

Those wheels look ridiculous-sorry. Looks like a Hot Wheels car.

You know I'm alittle bias towards the birds but you've gotta love the lines on this car along with color and stance. Very well done in my opinion, but everyone will have their own otherwise there would only be one way of doing business eh.

Car is very nice and the photographer is A+. I agree about the wheels, the whole big ass wheel thing is played out for me. Best thing I ever did was get rid of those big honking 19's on my car out back.

Todd,everyone has their own taste and preference ,some people like the stock 14's,some people like18's,19's, 20's or 22's, some cars are built for track, some as a nice cruiser, obviously this is not a track car, I think this car has a great looking stance and wheels size,though they are lacking some width in rear,maybe a cleaner design,but overall the car looks awesome IMHO .

I'm thinking of building custom 20x13 or 14 for my 69 Firebird and if I ever get around to work on my 71 Cuda, I want to do 22x13. Maybe I shouldn't post pics of my car just because some people like stock wheels?

john jackson is my favorite photographer by far in the automotive world.

the car is awesome, i love the stance and i still like my big wheels ( i have 22'' on my 67 impala on air.) But the way the wheel well openings are shaped on first gen f-bodys it doesnt seem like big wheels work good on them. however if the car had more dish on the wheel and a fatter tire i think it mightve been able to pull it off with the stance it has.

I love me some black first gen bird action, but those wheels are atrocious. JHMO, looks like a cartoon. I haven't seen a 1st gen that looks ok with 20's much less 22's, but to each their own.

Of course, I don't like anything that looks hood rich on 22's, that's just me.

I'm just happy to see a bird getting some love either way tho.

Two first gens that look ok, imho, w 20's out back are Jackass (I believe stock vette size) and also the other black 69 Camaro w Rushforth's Livewires...

I would agree, Jackass looks (and performs) badass.
