Default 69 firebird update

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

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

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.

Wink Help me decide!

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!

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