Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication

where did you get that hood? I like it better than all the ones i see like this because it has the back cowl part extend towards the windshield.

Third gens are nowhere near that long. The '88-'90s come in at 192", which would be 16' even.

Wow......

89' = 89 feet.

'89 = 1989.

I was just using a little bit of sarcasm, since you incorrectly abbreviated 1989. It's just a pet peeve of mine, since I see it all over this forum. None of it was about the emblems.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication

Thanks Bro! Just giving my TA my own look. But keeping original hood and rims if I want to go back to the original look. Can wait to get her painted for next summer. Cheers...

wow those emblems look amazing! I just made a set out of a resin and gold leafed mine, but these look so much better. How hard would it be to do Berlinetta ones and then gold anodize them?

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication

Since I've seen a few posts on this thread that weren't first gens below and at the link is my '67 Firebird I've been rebuilding for the past 3.5 years. Fabrication includes:

- replaced or rebuilt nearly the entire car.
- mini tubbed front & rear (front wheels will be 18x9.5 and has full steering/ suspension travel. Rear wheels will be 18x12 and have full clearance
- DSE suspension front & rear
- slightly flared rear qtr panels (to match the '69 T/A spoiler)
- recessed tail panel
- functional vents for front & rear brakes (not completed yet)
- recessed & smoothed firewall
- recessed engine/ custom mounts
- redesigned trans tunnel with exhaust relief
- custom designed & built roll cage (17 points of contact with body)
- home built hoop supports
- hand built subframe connectors
- flush mount front & rear bumpers (rear was widened to fit the car)
- enlarged wheel openings
- recessed trunk mount battery box
- trunk floor fuel pump access door

All garage built, too.










The full build to date can be seen here. Hundreds of details not covered in this post, either..

Lmao....no, no scanner.
It is boxed in, so right its functional, just with no real purpose. I did consider ram air box but we see.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication

It looks like the late 3rd gen bumper that retains the look of a trans am but has the opening for kitt's scanner lol. In any case your car looks awesome.
