Nathan Meadows If you don't just look at the face value of the vehicles, one being a Firebird, the other a pick up truck. You will see that the pick up, while not as glamourous was a complete tear down and re-build. It was taken down to its last bolt and then re-assembl

Kelly Postudensek Both of these show an amazing amount of work. This Firebird is gorgeous! The fabrication work is incredible, and this is the way Pontiac should have designed it 40 years ago! I love it. Move over Chip Foose - this is a true craftsman!

Brian Miltakis No doubt lots of work has gone into the truck, specially with a frame as bad as that. But I give my vote to the Firebird. It takes a truly artistic eye and a hell of a lot of work to make a vision reality. The craftsmenship put in to the car makes it stan

Susan Lau I saw this Firebird in person last week. I am not really into cars. However, I touched this one and it was amazing!! It seemed so smooth :) I found myself trying to think of words to describe the feel. Funny!
