That is one nice looking car. I want your old rims. Can you give me some specs on the old rims (back) width and back spacing along with tire size. LOVE THE HOOD!!!!! Nice touch on the steering wheel. Small things like that really make a car.

I think the black wheels go great with the white.

Nice ride. I am going to order the same hood from the same place. How do you like it? I was wondering what it looked like on a 67, 68 firebird. It looks great.

Cliff. The new wheels look great! We need more pics out on the road. I love the hood also. I too was wondering what a 69' T/A hood would look like on a 68'.

Hood looks great but had some fitment issues with the stock hinges where the hood meets the cowl. The Fesler hinges makes it even worse, got some tweaking to do.. Originally Posted by AtomicFirebird

Looking good Cliff!
I thought the Rushforths looked really 'sweet' on your Bird, although the Forgelines give it a nice 'stance'.
Cheers,

Thanks for the kudos guys!
Small update on the interior. I replaced the billet steering wheel for a Momo unit with a Poncho touch.
