I prefer the old school ones from smokey and the bandit. I did check out the year one burt reynolds release which is sweet. But on yours doesn't look like the body will give you any hassle. Good luck

thanks

yea its the last of the third gens, the second gens have that old muscle car look to it. where as this one is more of a hybrid of oldschool and new imo. cause the 4th and + gen firebirds dont really look muscle carish at all but thats just my opinion

update, pretty much all done, just the fuel injection system alternator, power steering, a/c, air intake, reconnect radiator hoses, put new coolant and oil in since i emptied before starting and it'll be ready to run.

got alot more pictures as of more now but waiting to finish to post them all. Sounds like alot but i'll be going back to work on it this tuesday should be ready to rock tuesday night barring any more complications.

Potential plus there for sure
Would love to see her all gussied up and the Smokey and the bandit look would really suit!!
Then all you need is the"Snowman" and a big rig and your all set (LOL)
Seriously though can't wait to see it up and running - pretty rare here in Oz

Yea i'm going to fix up the body best I can. Although like all things money is an issue. And since i am deploying here in a few months i'm not sure how much i'll spend on it before then. But if ya'll are still around a year from now

i'll finish up with it lol.

update : okay so first off let me start this by saying timing is a major PITA. Lol. Got it running kind of. THen it just sort of dies after about 5 minutes. And forget about putting the car in gear it just dies again lol. Getting it checked out by a mechanic friend of mine this weekend see if he has any input.
