Birdie Update Time... June 06, 2005, 05:08:23 PM Here's what I was busy doing the past couple weeks. Please excuse the bugs on the bumper, this is after over 1000 miles of driving in 4 days. Plenty more to come by Cat Jam: Quote Selected

Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #2 – June 07, 2005, 02:12:25 AM Lol enough air vents? :)Just wondering, did you think of making the vents at an angle, instead of parellel to the header panel?I noticed you have a oddly shaved power antenna. Quote Selected
Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #3 – June 07, 2005, 02:15:26 AM That's called a "frenched" antenna. Old hot-rodder term. I think now you can see the hot-rodder influence Crystal has on her car (as lovers are also a hot-rodder thing.) It's very unique to see old-school hot rod tricks done on a newer car. 2 million points for doing something other than a cowl or TC hood, Crystal! Quote Selected

I could care less though, it's what I wanted to do.And it's a manual antenna, not power. Took forever to find that stupid thing...The louvers would have been even more difficult to have done at an angle. You can't see the bottom of the hood due to an aluminum panel there to keep water out, but there's a lot more work there then just punching a couple holes. Quote Selected
Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #5 – June 07, 2005, 09:26:02 AM Well I think "lovers" is an old hot rod thing too Very interesting. Now you need some red steelies with some baby moonos and wide white walls OK, maybe no white walls...but some custom 17" steelies w/ baby moons would go well with the louvers and the antenna.

Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #7 – June 07, 2005, 09:59:28 AM Somethin like this without the whitewall would look good I think. Quote Selected
Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #8 – June 07, 2005, 11:34:53 PM It looks sharp! But how did you made the holes? Quote Selected
Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #10 – June 08, 2005, 11:15:43 AM They put it on a machine that punches them. It's more work than it looks like since the hood bracing had to be cut and re-welded. Quote Selected
Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #11 – June 08, 2005, 12:21:10 PM Now you need to repaint the car. Some suede paint or primer only. Lol old school! Quote Selected
Re: Birdie Update Time... Reply #12 – June 08, 2005, 12:30:03 PM primer rocks now only if I had new pics...even my mach1 hood is primer now :) Quote Selected
