I think that there needs to be more pics of this... I that dust/dirt all over your paint, or is that glitter?

 

Silver Flake I believe.

 

Ahhhh... Must be huge flake! I say Glitter and lol a little, but actually have seen some "show car" vette owners spray glitter all over the exterior of their car and the ground where being shown

 

Looks like it's wet/dirty.

Any shots of the actual mounting or is this just a look at my nose post?

 

yes coming up

 

side shot

 

I've wanted to do that to my t/a but was thinking of just fliping the hinges around for more of a vett style look

 

yea i hear ya listien i see u from nj the guy that did it is in plainfield nj let me know if interested

 

Is it just me or does it seem like it makes it harder to work under the hood of the car?

 

no because 2 pins hold it like that in middle of air once i release them hood goes back down normal

 

Several people here on TGO have done that by using the 90s Buick hood hinges that open in reverse like the Vette hoods do..

 

That just seems like an odd way of doing it and that paint just looks odd (both the glittery stuff and flame stuff in the engine compartment).

 

Ah ok, makes more sense that way, thanks for explaining

 

well the car is filthy you can check out my other post and see good pics of the car and the glittery stuff u called it its called metal flake and wats so odd about the airbrush?

 

I know its metal flake, not glitter. Large flake just seems odd to me on most things. Airbrushing just comes off as VERY tacky imo, especially when it comes to flames (and anything skull related). Combining the two just doesnt look right and clashes pretty bad. Thats just my opinion of course and all that matters is that you like the car.

 

got ya thanks

 

Links of guys doing it with Buick hinges??

 

That looks like it could be a real life Transformer!

 

thats awesome i have a 1989 firebird 2.8 v6 special adition just replaced the whole fuel system and come to find out the problem was the pick up coil...im new to firebirds but i like the way u did yours thats just too kool

 

Pro street door bars and lambo doors! how the f*&^% do you get in and out?

 

lol the doors still open all the way out so i kind of slide in and slide out lol

 

thank you just trying to be diffrent good luck with your car enjoy it
