Hello! I am new to this site. I have a 1973 Formula Firebird project car. Has a 400 in it currently. Plan on going with a 461 stroker combo, 200r4 tranny, and full frame off resto. Car needs a lot of work (i.e. body, frame, suspension, engine, interior, etc.). This will be my military retirement project. Look forward to learning from the team here!

The owner of the 73 Firebird made the following comments tous:

“I've put 4000 miles on it and drive it at every possibleopportunity. No track time yet due to other commitments but there is alwaysthis spring. I still have to play with the shock settings to soften up thelaunch, it is just incredible how the car reacts from the factory setup. Therear stays planted no matter if it's in the corners or straights. I've had ZEROissues with the entire setup, I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY with it. I hope to get someauto-x & road course time this spring.”

I still can't thank you all there enough for everything, thekit really changed the car into a ride that I truly enjoy driving.”
