Your suspension setup sounds similar to mine, except I used the SPC control arms. Handles really nice with the 17x9's, but I think the Lee steering box made an even bigger difference in the feel of the car. Sounds like a great project.

Nice, I am working on 69 Camaro with my boys and a new little girl. It's a blast and teaches you patience haha. I'm driving mine as I go, have fun with it. I had a 76 TA in high school and loved it.your project sounds sweet! Todd

Nice project...looks like Martinique Blue? Don't you hate it when family gets i nteh way of raising the car? LOL....!
Pedro, thats one very smooth looking 79 T/A. I had a set of those wheels for my 71 Firebird project, before I fell in love with the Year One 17" Honeycombs.
Thanks Leigh ! I realy like the early birds alot thats going to be the next one to build once this one done . The raising of the car is always been hard with 4 kids BUT im down to 3 and the third one leaves in 4 months 4 boot camp the oldest is in the marine corps now so the fire chicken is getting closer to the top of the list LOL!!!!!!
