WIP Moonhawk facelift (1979-1985)

but I have not forgotten it

 

you literally didnt post for 2 months and also that first "its on hold" was april fools as well so yeah

 

the thing is that I am not sure if I want to go on with the way it is going. I am thinking of reshaping the roof line

I have an idea

This... will do wonder when it comes to modernize the car

The factory moonhake has a very strong body line smoothing over would modernize the car somewhat also reshaping the body and doors could help

 

i was thinking giving it a rear that resembles the firebird more like with the front. that might work though it looks quite modern for a 79 design

 

yes, would be good

 

i cannot wait for this and the merlin because i feel that bruckell is not used enough because they have made 2 official cars while gavril has made 4 to 5 official cars

 

Bruckell has 4 official cars if you count the soliad wendover. the legran, the bastion, the moonhawk, and the wendover.

 

Many people count soliad as a different brand though, for whatever reason. There's alot you can do with creating bruckell cars but everyone goes to gavril instead.

 

Maybe a Low horsepower Turbo V8?

 

maybe

 

I have been frustrated with the crappy engine model of the vanilla car

by low power turbo V8 you mean a small under 5 liter engine?

 

What they probably mean is an engine analogous to the Pontiac 301 Turbo V8, a 4.9l OHV engine produced by Pontiac for the '80 and '81 Firebird Turbo Trans Am, though maybe with displacement in the 305 to 318ci range.

 

just use the wendover V8

 

A v6 would be nice as a low end motor (fun fact the firebird did actually come with both a 250 chevy i6 and a 231 buick v6 which replaced it as an option) i cant imagine how gutless that i6 will be though

 

Gavril, Ibishu, or makes their own brands.
OT:
The Wendover V8 would definitely work.

 

well the car already comes with 152 HP, I already have long block and induction upgrades

the mildly uprated I6 with 242 HP is FUN

 

I'd suggest a turbo charged Rover V8 which is a thing, 3.5L or 215cui

 

Will you add an alternative front fascia with the original circular headlamps? For the rear you could also have an alternative rear fascia with four round lights like this: (not the black part, just the round taillights are what I'm talking about. {to be retro inspired be the OG Moonhawk rear fascia})

 

so let me understand.. you want an alternative fascia that has round headlights? (preferably the peppy versions?)

now that you mentioned it, a round taillamp rear fascia would be cool, as well as round headlight for the Spicy trims likethe sport V8 or the turbo 6

 

Like, a front and rear fascia that could have circular headlights and taillights to be retro-inspired by the OG Moonhawk Fascias. IDK, kind of like your original idea for the front fascia, with retro-influenced taillights.
