About 1/2 of the wal-marts I go to seem to sell HPP.

Wade's car is on hawks site though. I think Hawkins was working with the guy a little bit:

Re: check out the appearance of this fire camino lol

I like the El Camros.

I thought the firebird could never get any uglier.... I was wrong. It's a box bed. It would look better molded in.

Re: check out the appearance of this fire camino lol

This is a matter of personal opinion.. What might make them look better now since they destroyed the body is to put a 8 ft fisher V-plow on it and a box sander in the bed. In my opinion, I don't think either the Camaro or Firebird look good..

It's not really that weird. I love the lines of Firebirds, but I hate the way the lines are on Camaros (too boxy and straight compared to the Firebird's nice curves ) I know of many people that are fans of one of the f-body styles but not the other.
