my 90 firebird project

so i finally got the body on my car all back together...i got the hi-rise camaro spoiler mocked in place, took the decklid off of my parts car since it didnt have a tinted rear window my old one was purple and bubbling everywhere...put the new front ground effects on that i got 2 yrs ago, as well as the headlights from my parts car with new lenses...car also has a new front reinforcment bar and foglights since it had been in a front end wreck when i got it...took the daytona hood from my parts car and wasnt crazy about it so now it has a ram air II hood on it....rims are mint with brand new tires...interior is mostly together as well and i must say i think its lookin really good let me know what you guys think....still workin on the 350 swap..hopefully itll be done someday....

I agree! I've always liked that spoiler. As for the hood, I like the Ram Air I and II hoods. I think the RA I looks better and follows the lines of our cars better, but I like that you can make the RA II functional with a cold air box. Oh well, it'll be a while before I'll have the money to do either one, so I guess I don't have to make up my mind anytime soon.

Pretty cool.

I see you've got the 82-84 style dash in there. Looks good.

Oh, okay.

I just love the 82-84 T/A's, they're my favorite of all 3rd gens. I guess thats all I really notice anymore... Haha...
