So here we go. 1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula nickname Phantom. I've got big plans for it, and now I need to come up with big cash.

I think you might be running into prior copyright naming with Phantom!

There is probably 100 black cars here called Phantom

I am naming my car "Mike's"

Kinda stuck on the idea of fixin up the GTO. And maybe selling later on, and using money to build the firebird. I want to twin turbo it, and from what i understand it is best to use LQ9 block instead of aluminum LS2. I've read that LQ9 will last longer and will withstand more power. I hate doing things twice so what do you guys think?

Plans for the firebird.
ridetech level 2 air

Clean bird! I hope you're a body man or know a good one, thats no cheap fix on a unibody car.

Geeez, didn't even realize that its already have been two years since my last post. Anyway I finally got some time to work on my project. Began with stripping the GTO. Got the engine out marked all the connectors since i know it might be a while until i put it back together.

So since I'll have a whole lot of parts left from the GTO im stripping i decided to get one more wrecked one and give it a chance to live again.
