Screaming Chickens?

Getting my T/A repainted in red w/silver gfx. I'm either going to get the top of the RamAir scoop painted silver (like the 97 Hurst F-birds) or get a silver 'Screaming Chicken' on an all red hood. What do you think?

Screaming chicken! That has got to be the coolest car logo of all time. It's one of those things you either love or hate (no split feelings here), so if you want to really catch people's eyes, go with it.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the CHicken. It will also be cheaper than having the scoop painted two/tone.

Definitely go with the screaming chicken. I am planning on repainting my '83 TA. I want to paint it with the same color scheme, but then i would need to get a new hood since i have the formula power bulge hood. I also had an idea for getting sort of a custom paint scheme. I was thinking about repainting my car all red. Then having a small screaming chicken on the power bulge scoop with flames fading all down the scoop. Do you think this would look cool? I was really thinking about doing this, but wasnt sure on how it would look. I want a paint scheme different from everyone else, that would look different and catch somebody's eye. Let me know on what you think of my idea.

85-89 T/A's have little chickens on the roof pillars as part of the stock graphics. THey are 4-5 inches across. You can get them from the dealer or from the Year One Next Generation catalog for $40.

Jims83TA: Cool, if you can do it.

BTW: the 3Gen Chicken is about 2/3-1/2 the size of that 2Gen in the picture
