carcrazy19 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 This looks real good so far. can't wait to see more.
tubbs Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 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.
crowe-t Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Excellent work so far Joe! The 1st Gen. Firebirds are my favorite and nothing beats the look of big fat tires tucked underneath.
Petetrucker07 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nice start so far. That's an excellent color choice for this. This thing will pop outside.
tyrone Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nice start so far. That's an excellent color choice for this. This thing will pop outside. x2....
Jmaracing Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks guys for the kind words!!!! Still got along way to go on this one. Still got some work on the cage. Iam not liking the way the top bars hang to low..
GoatGuy Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I definitely like this build, and I agree that the color choice is great.
