The OFB group install a hood bird at the show. ( PIC HEAVY)
« on: September 10, 2007, 09:00:00 PM »
Well, my brother finally broke down and got a TA. It has 67k original miles and he has all the paper work back to the purchase. It was originally a hood bird delete car, but it didnt look like a real TA. ( if ya know what I mean) So myself and the Hitman put a bird on it for him at this weekends car show. Well at 1 time we must of had 40 people watching and taking pictures. Here are a few that the "Dangerous" 1 took.( my GF Renee)

Yes, that did come out VERY well -- by my estimation, about 4X better than the effort put into them by the factory back in the day! :D :D ;)

Reminds me of a Polish joke............................................ ::)
Just kidding!
After doing 3 hood birds by myself, I would love to have others help me next time (if there ever is). ;D
Nice work!

And as you know some of mine just don't come out. 

Psst!  Here's a hint, Mike -- when you push the button, you shouldn't SEE the flash directly.  If you do, you need to turn the camera around! :D :D ;)

A friend of ours had a Y88 in higischool. My brother said if he got a TA, it had to be Gold on Gold. He found this car on craigslist, and it was only  10 minutes from where I picked up the Formula.
