Frostbite - 1967 Firebird

[69-572]

Looking great so far! Can't wait to see more!

Good to see another pro touring bird!!! Gonna be a beautiful car. Check out my 67 bird build thread. Looks like we started with about the same pile of parts

Hey ya'll. I got some more updates. Been working hard on the floorboards, tranny tunnel, and roll bars.

[Bob in St. Louis]

Wow, that an awesome tunnel.
If you have to take the driveshaft out (in the future), are you going to be able to get it out?
Looks like the bent sections of frame under the shaft would prevent that, and the tunnel being welded on would make life difficult.
Or is it just the perspective I'm seeing?

Thanks Bob, we will have no problems getting the driveshaft out, there is a ton of room inside the tunnel, and we are going to make the front frame section removable for transmission removal

"Roger that".
THanks!

Hey ya'll,

We got the core support and radiator in today. Looking real good.

Here are some more teaser shots. We're adjusting the stance and height of the car.







We're also really happy with the way the custom Kook's headers came out.



Here's a shot of the underside of the car, showing the clearance.

Looks awesome. What are the specs on the wheels and tires?

What core support is that? It looks like the Autorad, but slightly different.

that is the auto rad, maybe the inter cooler makes it look a little different

Looks awesome. What are the specs on the wheels and tires?

They are 18x9.5" with 275/35 fronts and 19x12 with 325/30 rears

Hey ya'll,

Got some more updates here. Was able to put the fenders on as well as the core support. Starting to come together.

[armourmark]

Nice! Look forward to more updates

[Bob in St. Louis]

Nice.
Do I see a pigtail for ABS on that front bearing?

[ebmotorsports]

Hey ya'll,

I'm currently working on the custom spoiler for Frostbite. Ben Hermance did a good job combining the Camaro duck tail with the Firebird pedestal into a new hybrid spoiler which looks AWESOME.

Here is the concept:



Here is what I came up with:

[Bob in St. Louis]

Your skills are fantastic, awesome!

[1965gp]

Spoiler looks amazing

[ebmotorsports]

thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments, I wish I was half as good as some of the talent on this site. Bob, you are correct about the ABS pigtails but they are only there because they came with the c-6 spindles, no plans for abs at this time for this car.

[Bob in St. Louis]

"Roger that".
I'm new to the concept of PT, and wasn't sure if y'all were high tech enough to have ABS and/or traction control.
I was thinking that either would be a detriment to "going faster", and this car wouldn't be driven in the snow anyway.
So imagine my surprise when I saw wheel speed sensors. ha ha

Thank again man, the pics are great, and helping to inspire me.

Pretty neat design!! I like that it has a pass through!
