I am new to the forum, and I thought that I would share some pictures of my 1969 Firebird. I am not sure how to get pictures to come up, but I will give it a shot.

Here are a couple more pictures of the car. The car has shaved wipers, shaved marker lights, molded in rear bumper, shaved door handles, functional fender vents, functional hood vents, smoothed bottom of hood, redesigned front bumper and grille, a sheetmetal package tray that rolls down the sides of the back seat, and many more mods. The entire bottom of the car has been painted basecoat/ clearcoat and smoothed.

Hi Derrick-

Great looking bird, love the stance! Can you give me some details on the suspension front and rear?

Thanks,

Phil

very nice! love the interior!

Thanks for the compliments guys. The car has Hotchkis 1.5" drop springs in the rear with Belltech 2" drop blocks on them to make up the difference in height between the 20x9.5" rear wheels and the 18x8" front wheels. The front has Fatman Fabrications 2" drop spindles with QA1 adjustable coil overs which have an additional 1"-3" drop adjustment. Where it sits in the pictures is ride height. It has 275 35 20's in the rear and 225 40 18's in the front. I have had the car done for about a month and have been really happy with the response it has gotten. I got a Fab5 at the Goodguys Waukesha show, the Peak Definition of Cool at the Goodguys Kansas City show, Street Machine Class winner for Best Interior at the Hot Rod Supernationals, and a special invitation by the Autorama to be in the World Of Wheels in Chicago. Talk about a dream come true! It's nice to see another Firebird getting built. I am getting ready to start on another project myself. I try and build one a year.
