I need some ideas for the 71 Firebird, I just picked up.:razz:

There's only one pic you need and that's of SW's 73 TA. The epitome of sweetness.
Actually Bandit, I think is his name, has a badass 77 with a IA block pontiac under the hood and TKO600 behind the engine. Car is painted like a bandit too.
Do you have any pictures of the 73 TA? Or a link to guide me there? I've only seen small pictures of Bandit's car. I hope he comes in here and posts some bigger pics.
Here is what it used to look like.

Hope this link works.
My 72 Bird
nice cars!!!
My 68 right after purchase last fall, trying to make it presentable. Currently in a million pieces under construction. Hopefully be done this spring. Hated the color when I bought it, but now actually planning on going with the same paint scheme minus the stripes.
wow the pictures actually came up!
BEEBE: What color blue is that? Is that the lucern blue? Is that a real Formula or a clone?
Cars look good guys. Keep the pictures coming. :)
Here are some pics of my 74. These were taken a few days before the motor went.:crying:

Bandit- PRESENT! (Well one of them anyway)Quote:

Hey check it out though guys, I have updated my garage with all full size pics. Also, I have a butt ton of pics, including some tech info, at my 2 sites so check 'em out! I am not able to post my pics directly on this post like the dude above me, due to a serious technological impairment from which I have suffered for years. (If anyone can tell me how to link my cardomain site to here, shoot me a PM or something and I'd appreciate it.)

I also want everyone's honest opinion about my rim choice--a little radical for this car I realize, 18" Boyd Coddington Junkyard Dogs. I like 'em more and more every day, especially in the twisties! Just want to know how you think they look. So sign my guestbook(s) or shoot me an email or whatever.
Peace!

Just getting started on my bird. After having it sandblasted, we have basically decided to re-skin the entire shell including floors, trunk, cowl, roof, quarters, inners, and rockers. :eek:
So here is an ugly pick taken at the media blasters:

Here is mine. It is a 98 WS6 Formula with 10,800 original miles on it. 520 HP, with full handling suspension upgrades, and 12-bolt rearend with 4.10 gears. It went 11.6 in the 1/4 on motor. I'm currently building a forged 348ci setup and Procharger D1SC for it, looking for 750 HP soon...

When I purchased the car she had a cowlmaro hood and i thought the formula hood looks more correct.
Since the purchase , Ive also swapped the seats, installed a new Tomahawk intake, Mark VIII Ele. Fan , New Wheels/ Tires, and all kinds of other little detail and minor changes to make her mine.
beautiful car Beebe..
BEEBE: That's alright, my 71 is a clone too. The 74 is a real Formula.
What size rims and tires are on there?
In the picture with the cowl hood, rims are 15x8 Weld Draglites, rears 275/50/15, fronts 235/60/15Quote:

Here is a few shots of my last 72 bird.
I sold her a few years back to fund the blue 72.
