looks ok but i'm wondering how you mix drag racing with drifting.....
both require completely different motor/tire and suspension setups.
with one you want to take out all of the camber/castor and the other you want to add it.
you also need ample torque to drift.
with drag racing the torque is questionable as long as you can get up to top speed within a few feet.

i gotta say man, i've never seen an offroad 69 bird until now.....
i actually dig it though

@monster.
the flames werent bad, they just arent real enough.
thos xmods stickers are junk. the least they could have done is put some **** waterslides with em.

you could keep the same paint scheme you have now but replace the purple with red.
or you could keep it purple but go with the testors plum purple, that stuff matches black great and is only a couple bucks per can.

sorry if i seemed a bit harsh with the drag/drift but the combination just doesnt make sence to me.

cheers,
Bondo

I think you should just leave the drag racing to the muscle cars and the drifting to the tunners. I'm not to crazy about that Firebird drifting with those huge tires at the back... BTW paint the other parts black, take off the stickers and would you like to sell those rims?

Looks quick, those slicks could possibly give you wheelies with the right setup!
