how come i dont see any thirdgens with the hood bird? here are some pics of my car before i ripped it apart and sent it to the body shop.....i had the bird on mine and it was a BITCH to remove...i had to aircraft remove the whole hood.
im pretty sure my bird was stock, so like i said, where are all the birds?
not yet it is still in the shop...i do have a "during" thread called my 85 ta bodywork thread and there you can see what i found removing the gfx....good news is i do not need any more body parts. they have all they need now im just waitin for my buddy to finish it
the bodyman and i agreed that it will look best in that silver on top....one color all over and maybe add a lil somthing to the paint to make it standout from the original. but the idea is to make it as close to original as possible so it doesn't look odd when you open the doors or hood. and im thinkin im not going to want the bird back on there.
I tossed one on mine to break up the solid white... It's alot of white hood. If I was sportin' the T/A hood like Brycek, I probably wouldn't have chosen to put it on. No, it's not stock. *surprise*
Brycek,You had the same bird I had.It looks solid.Anyone have any idea were to find this style?The outlined bird is also correct for my 85 but I would love to find this style.I am waiting to get my car painted before the weather gets to cool.
I think its a kit they buy from pheonix grafics.all thr birds I see are the outlined style.Yours is a solid sticker correct?Mine was but I am unable to find one like it.
Heres what mine looked like just badly faded.I am also keeping my car stock looking just kickn it up a notch. I suck at this just ckeck my album I just added and u will see the hood.
It's more of a seventies thing. it went out of style with second gens, really. i'd say thats why you rarely see it and ppl don't put them back on nowadays.
I think they went out of style because they changed from a nice fearce bird to a weird screaming chicken looking thing... I hate the 3rd gen hood bird, the 2nd gen is what its about.
I have a custom bird on my 84 TA. I went with the different colors becaues of the white car. All the exterior birds are like this, the inside are solid gold or gold outline.
