Do you have a photobucket (or equivalent) account? If not, email me the pictures and I'll post 'em... wes.bird@us.army.mil

Hmmm, you've definitely sparked my interest about the car...how would you go about incorporating it? A decal/vinyl? Where would it go? Hood? Trust me, I've thought lots about it....and as a matter of fact, I even have a "Birdman" vinyl that I had made, that was made for a hood... But that was to go on my Jeep, should I have painted it, which I never did b/c I planned on selling it...

So....I'm curious though, why would YOU want the "Birdman" symbol on your car?

Well I have Always been a Birdman myself until a month ago when I purchased my 02 vette,Ya see I have owned every body style Trans am and Firebird made except for a 1974 Trans am (the year I was born) Wierd huh? Anyway I feel the vette is the Same as a Trans am too me as for as the engine and transmission and I still want to feel like I havent Abandoned my Trans am's Besides I still have 2 I posted pictures in my profile...but still can't on a thread? I would definitely go with it from the bottom of the front nose all the way up the hood and probably double it well you know outline it ...My car is black so I would go with silver and what? blue?red?gold? I will have to play with it to get a color (s) that goes good with black.So what do ya think?
Also Why doesnt my avitar show up? I can see it fine but not in the forums...

I see your PROFILE picture, but maybe you didn't actually make an AVATAR? Not sure about why you can't post pics...

Here ya go:











Now do realize that my Birdman symbol is something I made and am very proud of....maybe you could come up with (or I could for you) a unique symbol to represent your past and NEW heritage? lol

But I DO have that vinyl already printed out, but it is black...you could always outline it in silver?

And yet, the biggest question is why would you want to decal/vinyl up a corvette? I don't notice anything crazy with your other cars..? Hence the reason why I haven't done it, lol...

yeah I do have some other pictures of a Mustang I tried out and some saleen paint jobs I have done for other guys,Plus when we get our settlement we are going to get the checkered flag strip decals for the black trans am in gold...they look Great....I had came up with a black widow for the hood outlined in red with a smaller on on its tail (in the place of the Hour glass symbol) and call it The widow maker but it needed something more...I would be interested in seeing what you could come up with...I can paint any kind of symbols Its just I dont have a great imagination?

ME TOO! These guys know their stuff! and are great to talk to
Also I tried the competitive 10 mode today worked out pretty good ...but it was raining all day so she still wanted to come around,And always to the right...? must have more pull on the passengerside or weight than the driverside?
