custom firebird

[deckerz]

recently i have got back into muscle cars and i have a firebird shell i never really used but i have ideas for it now. iv already started on a custom grill. pics up when cams charged

[kendallcschm]

WOW... i love muscle cars... i think they are the best knid of car... the sound, power, and beauty of them astonoshies me... i prefer the drag look on a muscle car... get the Fire bird body kit :-) i love the way the body kit looks on it... (id paint it black as well as get pro street rims)

ok update:
i made the grill look like a dodge charger grill i cut out the center part and those little bar things attaching to the lights anyway this is it.

is that the finished look?

no offence but in "MY" opinion it really looks like crap, the entire car seems like you destroyed it.

good idea tho, with a some tlc you might be able to give it new life.

[deckerz]

no no. thats just what the grill is gonna look like. its gonna have some stips across so it actually looks like a grill and then thin layer of putty on to harden it, then primer all over then painted. i was thinking of the challenger look on it, orange with black racing stripe down middle. i was also thinking of putting a super charger on it aswell.

nooo lol, im, not being mean.. just a giving little constructive criticism (i think)

i like the idea but thought he was finished working on it, but he said hes not done so all is good.. id like to see it finished, it has a realyl mean look to it ..

[HUMMER H4]

Suurree.....Jp, Oh, Why dont you get one deckerz?

[deckerz]

trust me iv always wanted to but i cant get my bank account sorted out so i cant acctually pay for stuff unless i send cash to them, most people pull out because they think they wont get the cash.

[kendallcschm]

why? why did you have to destroy the look it had.... why do you have to make a firebird looks like a challenger? that is terrible.... but your doing nice work....

[bigez]

it looks good but i would cut it in the middle and push the middle out so that it is a little pointed in the front just to give it a better look

[kendallcschm]

i wouldn't have cut out the senter part because .... well... its not a fire bird any more....

the new grill makes it look like a '68 Camaro RS. I'd do something to put that center "split" back in somehow...just so it' still distinctly a Firebird...your car though, your call.

Are you doing anything the back end of the car? Spoiler? Drag tires?

[deckerz]

well im going to get the body kit and put a wing on and the sidskirts with the huge exhausts. then i will get 2 sets of that biggie racing tyre set, gpm rims and i will lower the ride so it all looks good. thats basicly what im gonna do lol

please note this will not be a dragster but hopefully this is what its gonna look like maybe without super charger.

[kendallcschm]

DOUBLE POSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks nice... you should definitely put on the supercharger... did you make that pic your self?...

[deckerz]

haha
thanks....i need to find somwhere other then atomic mods to get it from, or i could make it like on my custom cobra mustang project.

After drawing this plan im not to sure on the orange i might actually do it black like you previously said and mabey flame decals on the sides.

Dude try using macro on your pics or else its hard to comment. Macro allows to take close-ups without it becoming blurry. Here's a sample of the rear of my Micro DT. Sorry to jack your thread. The project sounds interesting but the lack of quality in the pictures makes it hard to leave a good or bad comment.

Update:
some temporary rims put on.
i have smoothed out the grill its ready for primer.





I cannot pay for any items until my bank account has been sorted out.
I need barricade rims for this, can anyone please send me some?

This will be the grill when finished, just need to find where i can get the chome paint.

... still no center piece... i think you should put it back it.. now it looks like a different car..
