The mods look very cleanly done, much nicer effect than the ones I've
seen with the Firebird front treatment. Wasn't the frame stronger to
begin with on the hardtops? Might be why he used one of those rather
than a coupe.
All in all, looks like a well crafted custom, I wouldn't mind driving it
even though I agree that the stock front end is damn hard to improve on.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by
the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in
which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him
insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to
oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he
fails in his duty to stand by the country."

A chunk of sheet metal, a box of pop rivets, and a gallon of Bondo are
a lot cheaper than the two grille surrounds <lol>...
Betcha it's a flexi-flyer...
Kind of interesting, but only on nice days.
