Re: 1967 Firebird "Bad Bird" Project

I am wondering, are you going for a gasser type look? I like what you have so far, you don't see too many birds, always the Camaros. Keep it up!

Kind of a gasser theme, but more of an "altered wheelbase Batch-Match" car to represent what the big three did on the strip on the mid 60's. I'm just not sure how "altered" the wheel base is going to be just yet. It will for sure have a straight axle front end though, no question or doubt there. It truely will be a unique car, then to have a similarly built '67 Cougar next to it.....they will draw a crowd for sure.

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention: my buddy and I figured out the perfect donor for a straight axle front end. Theoretically it should work, and the junkyards are full of them. Here in a couple weeks after I get paid again we are going to go scrounge the local Pick 'n Pull yards to see what we can find. If anyone is interested, and things go like we hope, I'll let y'all know what we have come up with. These things are going to be crazy!
