Notchback with wrap around wing

i have always liked the notchback for its look and wieght savings but i never liked how it came with the firebird entry level pedastal wing i wanted to know if anyone can make the wrap around wing fit the notchback someone must have the knowledge and experience to make this work

Re: Notchback with wrap around wing

Well you would have to buy the hatch, ship it to tx so I have something to work with, as for making the piece, probably around $800 or so for materials and labor on the low end, would have to make it from scratch.. or if u bought a similar one to what you want, we could adapt it and it would be less obviously. then shipping to you from tx when its done, then u have to get it painted locally since we cant match the paint from here.
