This car was very cool.. LS7, Det. Speed, tons of sheetmetal fab like the rear cone, complete dash, one-off Pontiac themed wheels... nice car. Here's a video if you're interested!

oooooooooh das a baaaad girl. Interesting to see the no-spoiler look. The final product is right on the line of being too hot-roddy, but I think it works--as long as they drive it! And I'm ALWAYS happy to see another non-TA built up! Thanks for posting dude!

When do the wheels go into production, I want them. Very cool build.

love the wheels and the stance. Overall, very cool car. I don't like the round headlights though. They don't flow with the car. Thanks for the video Kevin.

I love the wheels but hate the car. Too homogenized for me. No offense intended to the builder, that's just my opinion and taste. Most who know me say I have no taste so that's probably a compliment.

Those wheels would look perfect on your car, Lenie.

Hi guys, I did some of the work on the firebird when I was at Pinkees rod shop. Pretty Bitchen for a 77 Firebird. They really did a great job getting it finished. I heard it was some late nights at the end. Great job guys!!

That's pretty slick looking, I like it! Not a huge fan of the fiberglass front nose piece, I think it looks kinda budget compared to the rest of the car.

Love the wheels and drivetrain, hate everything else...

I like parts of it. I agree that the headlight / grill treatment sort of lets it down (for my tastes) but I wonder if it is the fact that they went with round rather than the square lights that are expected, or is it the grill itself. If the grill texture filled the opening, with the round lights it might look good to me. As it is the lights and flat surrounds give me a last minute feeling of being stuck into a stock grill. The no spoiler takes a little getting used to.

All that aside, it is a beautifully done car with a unique take on a design . . . I like that.

I think it would look better with the original nose/tail. Other than that, it looks awesome.
