well I am finally into primer. here are some pics. I had some 1/8 plate lazer cut for my rear panel accents. the lower piece will have a solid piece of metal behind it except at the bottom for the exhaust. As you can see in the photoshoped picture. I wish it was blue but it will be yellow. I chopped the drip rails and molded the side scoops in so they look deeper and smoother. My intro is in the intro forum. heres the pics
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!
I have to say how impressed I am with this build. I love Pontiacs and always have. I guess now that the Indian is going to get killed off by GM, more folk will express their fondness for the brand. Keep the pictures coming!!
Thanks for the replies. I would rather it be blue too. but.......And the goal wasn't a TA clone, just liked the scoops and wing. What do you think of the stripes on the hood? You can't see it clear in the pic but I plan on a line drawing of a more contemporary bird (kinda grunge art style) done so faintly that you won't see it until close up, probably in pearl. anyway, I have to work on that render.

With what you said about your brother, it could be a redneck family crest!
