tubbs Posted May 28, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted May 28, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
