Back n Black


This first pic show what the car use to look like. It looks OK in the pic but had the stock faded clear coat going on. The roof was real bad. The pic next to it is my idea. I am a steelers fan and will head in that direction sooner or later.




This is a pic of it in primer.
Man is the nose clean with out the bracket.




Here she is in black. Giving us a wink.




This is just a one shot enamel paint but I laid enough on so I can wet sand and buff later. Can says wait 6 months though.

 

not 6 months but 60 days.

Funny thing is it say I do not have permission to edit my own post???


My nose is kind of warped but the bra use to cover it well.

BTW those are 68-69 Firebird hood scoops.

 

Do they function or just for looks??? I'm diggin em.

 

hell yea, I'm no poser. They are very functional.

Paid like $70 from year one for the functional aluminum ones.
They do sell some ABS fake ones.

I just used round air duct and squished n bent the wire in side so it turn into an oval and made a big U shaped air duct. Though At some point in time I would like to get one made from sheet metal in a similar fashion. Them guys who install furnaces can make some fancy stuff from flat sheet.

There are a few odd parts of the pic of the intake. The one is a piece of aluminum to shield the hose form the Alt. and there are some wear marks from my strut tower brace.



Had to run the STB vertical / on edge instead of flat to have room.
Just a 2 point STB.

Was just thinking last night that I may clear coat the sucker down the road when am done. It will look nicer longer and more wet.

 

Looks good.
Love the scoups, they kind of remind me of 69 GTO judge scoups.
I didn't think they would ever look right on the third gen, but somehow you have molded them in and they look great.

 

I think the trick is getting them right at the apex or bend in the hood. From how you see it in side the car sitting down. So they are facing forward right into the main air stream and not to low or high.
