Thought I would join and say Hi. New to all this so bear with me if you will. A little about the car....69 Firebird I had completley tore down, 455 hydraulic roller cam, performer intake and carb, March serpintine system, 12 main Moser with 373's rear end(powder coated), Heidt's sub frame with G Ride suspension (powder coated), B&M shifter ontop of a TH 400 tranny, going with 17" Showheel Streeters, Aluminum Radiator, going back in with air conditioning, Custum upholstery, JL Audio stereo system, carbon fiber dash with Autometer american muscle gauges, Ididit steering column, Speed liner underneath car, in trunk and and the paint is 2004 lamborghini yellow. That's about it. I think the only thing I kept that was existing or original was part of the cab. Does it look like I am going about this right?

Thanks, I used "Speed Liner" under the car. Hope is to elimnate noise along with protecting it the best I could. It was all painted first.

Thanks! On a side note, if anyone does a mustang II subframe like this Hiedt's and uses a Pontiac motor, I was unable to find any headers that would fit and not get in the way of the rack and pinion. I am having to build my own. There are some however for a Chevy motor.
