I almost bought that car when it was in Michigan! The guy was selling almost every piece. Now I feel like I'm going to cry, I was so close.

You are a smarter man than me.

That thing looks great! Next time I guess I'll make sure to pull the trigger.

Keep us posted. Looks like it's really coming along nicely.

Mike

Lenie -

Look at SW's Mustang, the feature car this month. He is the king of black cars and red cars and did the flat black/black treatment. Looks awesome.

Default Deck lid question

Thanks for all the positive responses. Got a question. My Deck lid gaps continually get wider as you go towards the back of the car. I've been told a variety of solutions but would like the opinion from those who do it daily, you guys. So if you have a solution, please fill me in. Thanks.

Nice car- I'm in the Seattle area too, can't wait to see the car in person. I've been debating on mini-tubbing my '68 Camaro, most of the cars iv'e seen the rear wheels don't sit in the wheel wells right, but this car nailed the look dead on- awesome

Default Car name

I'm one of those guys who'd really like to give my car a name, but would like to make it appropriate and having a hard time doing so. Need your opinions. What do you think about FOWL PLAY?

A little "cutsie" and your car seems more bad-ass than that..

How about "Phoenix Rising"

After all, it is a FIREBIRD and that conotes the ancient myth of the Phoenix being reborn from the ashes. Lots of symbolism given that your car is being brought back from the "dead".

PHX RSNG as a license plate

More on the myth of the Phoenix:

Lenie that is a pretty sweet Bird. Stance and wheels look great. I also like that liner undercoat.
