This is a FIREBIRD crossmember, which I now have two of
Notice the holes are more in the center. The square shaped hole where the tranny mount goes is the same as a big block Camaro piece. |

This is a big block Camaro piece. The mounting holes are further forward in the "notched out" section of the large access hole. They're also offset to the passenger side 1/2" Notice the comparison drawing as well.
VERY similar but NOT the same!!! |

Wow, very subtle, not certain I'd recognize that easily.
Thanks for the pics...

Good question. The small block has a perfectly oval shaped hole and the mounting holes are centered, no offset to the passenger side. The big block is offset to the passenger side for the exhaust to clear the steering box.

Here is the distinctive oval hole on the small block crossmember. I have two of these

The SB ones are fairly common and relatively cheap. I would have to fire up the plasma and make one for now. Could take a while and a "bit" of coin for an original BB one.

Did you lay the black as single stage over the gold clear or did you clear over everything once the stinger was on? Thanks |

The gold was cleared and left to dry a couple weeks. We then sanded the hood shot the black and cleared it again. Helps to “bury” the stripe and the transition from gold to black. Plus more protection. Thanks

Cars looking great. Did you use the chrome tape that a guy on ebay sells or another process on the cluster opening trim.
