All ready and waiting for me to take Superbikedan.

damn, looking at that i wish i'd kept my dp frame in chome. Instead i went for white, i wanted chrome, but i chose white, not chrome as i planned.

Most firebirds seem to turn out white, don't they? Why is that? THat's so weird

ED209 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 12, 2010, 08:26 PM »

Yellow is a nice firebird colour

skki3330 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 12, 2010, 09:22 PM »

Yeah i wanted to keep it Chrome but it's very expensive and my budget will be stretched and seeing i already have another project lined up

still white is a good color for a firebird and i already have some blue parts......not to sure about yellow and blue. Any other idea's guys??

fischflo · « **Reply #33 on:** April 12, 2010, 10:13 PM »

what kind of rims you up to?

how about a white ghost?

phantom photon · « **Reply #34 on:** April 12, 2010, 10:57 PM »

I like yellow

fischflo · « **Reply #35 on:** April 13, 2010, 12:07 AM »

my fave of your fleet, too. Looks acidic on that grass

ED209 · « **Reply #36 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:07 AM »

Haaha

I knew the Phantom would not resist

Yellow and blue would look cool - like a GT Performer

Sikki - you have to go with the colourway you are down like...

Have you seen the baby blue beauty? baby blue with dark blue, chrome and silver bits would be sweeeeet.

ED209 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:11 AM »

like nhoj's one but with dark blue and silver bits... bit of white maybe... mmmm... MMMMMMM....

fischflo · « **Reply #38 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:36 AM »

hmmm, that's slick

. Was thinking dark metallic, chrome, spokes

or white ghost

i'm sure they did neon green and pink aswell as chrome white and ni bronze, i had a white one in the day and hated it. swapped it for a kuwahara nova. that was beaut. looks ok that chrome wont coke and lemon shift the rest of the rust?

The Styler · « **Reply #41 on:** April 14, 2010, 10:13 AM »

didn't they once say they would do them in any custom colours as well? or am i imagining that? $:-\$

ED209 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 14, 2010, 11:29 AM »

I think the deal was that you could send DP your frame, forks or whatever and they would do them in any of the DP colours... mainly the pink and green... as the fluros were big at the time

Just realised its on that last link I sent

skki3330 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 14, 2010, 12:58 PM »

Thats the thing it come with a crap pair of black skyways so im looking for a nice set of wheels.

Hopefully Dan will have the bike today so white it is, i woould have gone for a diff colour but finding old skool parts then become a mare.

Liking the baby blue though

Nice pearly white will be sick Skki... can't wait to see what you choose to compliment it.

'Firebird' Steve is the man for your decals

skki3330 · « **Reply #48 on:** April 19, 2010, 09:39 PM »

Yeah cant wait to get my hands on it, it's with superbikedan at the mo. Ive already ordered my decals from steve should have them this week, ive gone for the Gen 1 with black lines.
Think im going down the anodized blue route but it all depends on what wheels i can get my hands on.

Ive also just bought another project so i have 3 now

skki3330 · « **Reply #49 on:** April 28, 2010, 09:01 PM »

Ok just got my DP back from Superbikedan and put new my decals on.
