I wanted to share some pics and see what everyone thinks. I started working on the body of this car almost a year ago, but spuradically. I've used ALOT of information from this board to get to where I am today and I'd like to thank everyone involved on this board as ya'll have given me loads of information. I know that the frontend body parts need some aligning but I'm going to wait until after I get the antenna shaved next week. I'm going to be fixing my sagging doors with the TDS repair kit this weekend and I will paint the jambs while the doors are off. Anyhow, heres the progression of my car:

How it looked after changing the nose after my girlfriend wrecked it, damaging the nose, fender, and hood........



After changing to the BB hood



Finally, as it sits today







Well, that's it. I hope to paint the weekend after next. Let me know what ya'll think

 

got it......

 

.

 

Nice job, man.
That hood looks awesome...what color you going for?

 

Looking good. Good luck on that antenna, Are you pulling off the fender to do it? I'm a welder and even i'm not liking welding that antenna hole. You shoudl through on some second gen fender vents while ur at it. Color? and thats why my woman doesnt drive my car lol

 

great work man. i looked forward to complete pix

 

Thanks for all the comments/compliments. The car's going to be black like the hood, but I'm going to redo the hood. I'm going to take the fender off and to a muffler shop by my house so they can weld it and I'll do the filling, etc. I love the look of the 2nd gen vents on 84customz28's car, but besides the hood, I'm not a big fan of body mods. I FINALLY bought rear tires yesterday (I've had the rims since november......) so my rims should be on in the next week or so , so I'll take some more pics when that happens. Here's a pic of the rims I've owned for 8 freakin months and still haven't put on my car.........

 

any plans for a spoiler out back?

 

Just stock 3-piece, I love the 91-92 highrise, but not on the earlier years gfx.

 

thats pretty bad ***, arent you missing some gfx on the back of the car? , overall itll look nice after some paint , btw nice firebird in the back is that a 79?

 

Thanks Firebird, yeah I have the gfx to paint off the car. That was my '80 firebird espirit. I sold it though, it was a rust bucket unfortunately.

 

jon,

Keep at it man! It get's frustrating when you're on a budget, but when you're done you'll have something that you'll cherish! Nice progress!

 

yeh man, i know a fella who selling a 79 firebird, its ready for paint, its all primed up, love the way it looks like that, i didnt get to see the inside but he tells me it pulls more then his 79 camaro , he wants 2 g's for her

 

Lookin good jon, I like the way those late-model rims look on thirdgens...gonna be badass
