Welcome aboard!! Glad to see you found us here.
Guys.....this car was at Carlisle this past June.....it is quite a piece of work.
I was all proud of myself driving my 1971 Z28 with LS1 / T56 drivetrain to the show....until I saw this Firebird. Made my car look like an erector set.

I've got a 99 formula.
That is a real nice setup.

Yeah, we all went and took a peek at it last year after hearing and reading about it prior to Carlisle. Took some eyeballs to it to see how this and that was done up on it....and that 'graft' was a neat piece of work. Definately not an overnight project.
I just sat there for a while and was wondering if I could pull off 1/2 that stuff....

Just proves you can teach an old dog new tricks. Makes me want to get to work on mine. The more i see it the more I'm liking the 4th gen interior in a 2nd gen.
