Default 2000 Trans Am WS6 "Bird of Prey"

This was a car I built for the SEMA Show a while back that I thought you guys might enjoy. There was a resent post asking about who remembered rare birds and this one was my own spinoff of the Sprewell car that they built in 1999 I believe. I posted a short video a few posts down. Enjoy!

I'm sure it was a lot of work but that car is incredibly ugly to me. I think it is the wheels and the bird pattern, I like the paint.

Yeah, literally hundreds sorted into specific catagories based on how the car was done. =)

Yeah, it completely depends on the viewer I suppose. Thats the great thing about cars, they are a persons individual take on hot rodding. What some people may not personally like, may still garner 27 first place trophies, 16 second place trophies, 2 best paint awards, and a display at SEMA advertising for Vortech Superchargers, and two cover + 6 page color feature articles by magazine companies who think it may help sell their magazine. haha

Im just givin ya a hard time. But in all seriousness, it was a blast to drive and even more fun to show.

Thats why I included the "to me" part. I'm sure a lot of people liked it I just prefer a plainer look. I still appreciate the time and effort that went into that thing.

Thats my favorite TZ ever made. They actually have a convertible Bird of Prey with an even better front end. I spoke to one of the guys at the factory that made that body kit and they said GM made them desrtoy the molds for those 2 cars. I almost cried. Ill see if I can find the convertible pics.

I am digging the billett hood inserts. What brand are they please. Someone must make a kit that swaps the side inserts & includes the hood inserts.

Hood ram air inserts are made by Emblempros.
