MORE LIKE A CAMARO....lol. Well as I said the car is not even close to original anymore with so many modifications and improvements. Most of the modifications are performance in nature and I made sure to use GM sheet metal on replacent parts except the rear quarters which a basically impossible to find much less afford. hmmm....Two new front fenders, new hood, and both rear quarters...Learned my lesson on this car the hard way. I searched for good GM front fenders and a GM 400 Hood for a LOONNNnnnggg time. The 400 hood is much more attractive and aggresive in appearence than the original flat 350 style hood, which I still have if I ever need it. The rear is mini-tubbed with a Currie 9in ford rear for fat tires and bullet proof performance. I went with the T/A style spoiler since it was Pontiac specific vs the Camaro style spoiler. The car is ready for paint and I like the way the rally stripes look on my 70 SS Chevelle, which started me thinking about putting them on the Firebid again. I guess I could use Camaro stencils for the stripes but I'm not sure about how I feel about that. I liked a couple of the stripe styles I saw in the car section of this site and perhaps something like that is an option. Thanks for the replies and if anybody has any photos or links to Firebirds with stripe paint schemes let me know please!!
