Default Sup guys

Hey guys wuts up, names Frankie B. I'm 24 and live in South Florida, originally from Boston MA. I'm a proud owner of a 91 Pontiac Firebird Formula. Used to have a 92 Firebird Formula too, but eventually needed a daily driver, so cashed in the 92 for a new 06 Mustang GT and kept the 91 as a project car. Well i guess its true FORD is a fix or repair daily lol. Had 3 check engine lights since i got it new. I think I'll trade it in when Dealers aren't raping prices for the Camaro. Anyways wanted to share my 3rd gen firebird project with you guys. Bone stock motor now, but the whole project is pretty much designing and creating a body kit for the car. I designed a body I'd like to bolt on to any 3rd Gen GM, slapped on a couple thousand pounds of clay, and went to town sculpting my dream. Here's a few photos of the process and a link below if any interested in seeing a cooler story board of the project. Hope u enjoy as much as i have. Cheers

Welcome to F-Body Online.

The claywork is nice, but its definitely not my style at all. I'm more of a fan of minimalistic designs.

Reminds me a bit too much of a 360 or something.

Thanks for the welcome guys, yeah it's got some 360 reference in there especially in the front. I'm in Fort Lauderdale, not too far from you maybe like 3-4 hours i think FirebirdPhil.

Welcome to FBO! Very talented work there. Good luck with the project. My only question is when it's done will someone be able to tell that a Firebird lays underneath?

Haha short of the interior, i think the only give away will be the terrorizing sound of a 350 engine with straight pipes . Ty for the compliment

ooof maybe like 3 years and counting. Started around January 05. I always wanted to design cars for Lamborghini, and when my guidance counselor laughed at me, I got furious. Figured I'd do whatever i could in my power to show I was capable of whatever I was trying to prove. Like the saying goes "Fuel for the fire" well... yeah she gave me that, but it's not really a glory story 2 b honest. This projects broken my wallet, mentality, and tested my patience to the fullest x 10. I don't even know if i can afford to finish it... Who knows, like the other saying goes, live and learn,burn and take another turn. Wish me luck ey
Cuzz
