10 year make over

[m22mike]

I thought I would share some pic's of my 69 L78 car with all of you, if you guys are like me, it's easier to look at pictures that read
I got Black Beauty almost 10 years ago as a half done project with most all the stuff to finish her.
The last owner added a cowl hood and a rear spoiler. I added 5 spoke SS wheels w/ Diamond Back Redlines.
The car was born with a SS hood, no spoiler, Ralley Wheels W/Redlines.
She has needed some serious cleaning after nearly 10 years of driving. So after finishing up the Grady Nova I went to work on Black Beauty.

New: GM SS hood, flat trunk, XT look wheels W/ Kelsey tire's F70 14 Goodyear redline wide tread GT's, and the poverty caps.

And a bunch of clean up and new Cad plating under the hood.
So who likes the old look ? And who likes the new look ?

Before:










And Now:











Thanks for looking.

New with the SS Hood, dont particularly like the cowl hood. Like the SS Wheels, not a Poverty look liker. Like the Rear Spoiler. Nice Firebird Eitherway. HA HA HA.

Some cars have the right look no matter how you detail them. This is one of those cars.

It's hard to make a black 69 look bad. The new look ROCKS !!
