1967 Firebird - Project Re-Vision
Well here is my first project car. I'm going with the name Project Re-Vision for now only because I have no idea if somebody used it yet and I couldn't think of any other cute little project names for it. Its not a high end build but I did the best I could with what little money I had. I started out with just a shell on a rotisserie and a crap ton of parts. It was a giant jigsaw puzzle and I had no idea where anything went. So I made some of my own puzzle pieces. For the last 8 years I've been plugging away fabricating what I could and emptying my bank account on other parts and cussing the entire time. Beware!!! If there are any purists on here you will be severely offended by what you're about to see. It's no longer just a Pontiac. It's a Pontiac, Chevrolet, Ford, Harley-Davidson! Also I would like to thank Captain7787 for giving me permission to use some of his ideas for my interior. I always give credit where its due!
The motor is an LS2 from a 2006 GTO.
I replaced the old subframe with one from Heidts.
Ford 9" with 3.90 gears and an Eaton tru-trac
2006 GTO seats
I built my own trunk panels. Not to bad for my first time. And yes it lights up!
I also built my own rear package tray because those rear GTO seats are huge!
I built my own fiberglass interior with inspiration I got from Captain7787's Firebird build. You should really check it out!!
I've decided to use the emblem as the push button start! No one would ever think to push an emblem to start a car. Until now. You're all welcome! HA Ha!
I had the bumpers and spoiler molded into the body to eliminate gaps seams.
OK so there it is! That's my bird. Its not quite finished yet but getting super close. What does everyone think? Good, bad, flippin terrible, or should I never try to build a car again.

Bro that bird is sick! Those door panels are different, I like it. That grill (beak) in the front is clean when you took out the seams. Any other suspension or brake plans?

It has a TCI four link in the back, QA1 coil overs and Wilwood disc brakes all around. I also built my own DSE type subframe connectors.
