nice job Joe. it's cool when that wheelbase on that chassis hits the body dead on. good choice of subject matter too. don't see too many early firebirds done this way. I am sure you will have lots of followers on this one. I know I am one.

Excellent work so far Joe! The 1st Gen. Firebirds are my favorite and nothing beats the look of big fat tires tucked underneath.
