so i just bought myself my first car(s). they're both 1968 firebirds. i have a good idea of what i want to do to the car. i was looking for some sort of custom grille. maybe billet bars or something with hideaway head lights like on a gto. is there some kind of product like that out there or will i have to fab up my own? any help at all is appreciated.

not a custom grille but certainly custom

Nice find.....darn that GTO stuff ALMOST fits......but I agree the fit and finish are too far off for me to attempt it. The last maroon 'vert is too modern for my car too.

I would think that it would be a custom build, but with the right lights and a piece of paper and a pencil, I'm sure we can come up with something cool.

Quick search on the web...
