It's a sweet build and I'm seldomly negative, but that front grille killed the soul of the Firebird. I'm looking at everything but the front end with envy.

@baibureh8816 Ай бұрын

It's not your car, or your money, or your time, or your decision. You are not and will never build a car that is even close to this so what you feel it needs is irrelevant. When I watch a movie I don't say, " you should have cast this person or you should have shot the movie in this country instead. I enjoy things for what they are.

I agree, I don't care for the front end either, I don't see "firebird" there. like Shaun talks about not losing the car in the build, But the rest of the build is incredible. And, it's not my car so it doesn't matter what I think.

I love and appreciate all the hours of work and modifications done to this car. Kudos to them for putting back the heart of a Pontiac, back under the hood. The front end lost it for me tho.😢 What distinguish the firebird from a Camaro is the pointed frontend and four round headlights. To the average car enthusiasts, this looks like a heavily modified first gen Camaro. But at the end of the day the owner and builder like what they liked.

@@AutotopiaLA You have to admire people that are willing to not give a hoot about design. Just like the Ring Bros. pulling a Chevy engine in a mustang. It's about passion for me, and not loyalty.

That’s an amazing car, not sold on the looks of the nose but I understand why they did it that way for the air intakes. I think it would definitely grow on me. Not that my opinion matters.

Great build and nice to see Pontiac power with twin turbos. Wow over a million dollar build too. IMHO definitely lost the traditional 69 firebird nose and headlights in the front end. Still a magnificent build by all means. The fabrication is phenomenal !!! My brother built a 76 Pontiac TA did all the work himself. It’s a single turbo LS 6.0, 4L80 , ford 9 inch. Runs a 3.25 gear. Dynoed a conservative 938 rwhp it’s on my channel. It has more in her. It will run 200 mph. Everything is controlled by MegaSquirt. It’s beast and a beautiful TA also. Would be an interesting top end race between the two.
