Introduction
Hello Pro-Touring.com
Normally I hang out with the Pontiac crowd over at the PY tech forum. I am close to finishing a 3 year long complete resto modification of a 69 Firebird with my son, Justin. This is his car. We have rebuilt his car from the ground up.
Specifications:
Pontiac 462 - 500HP/525 ft lbs torque
GW tubular A arm front suspension
Hotchkiss lowering coil springs & front sway bar
Hotchkiss lowering rear leaf springs
Front disc brake upgrade
Hydratech braking Hydroboost system
Ford 9" with Auburn gear Pro Series LSD, 31 spline Currie Axles & Explorer disc brakes
Dougs 4 tube headers and Pypes Crossflow exhaust system
TH400 transmission with Continental 10" "Jim Hand" torque converter
This week the car is getting a new interior. Nothing fancy, we are retaining the stock appearance. Here is a shot of the car. It should be on the road very soon. When it is done I will turn my attention to a 66GTO that I want to make into a G machine. I am sure I'll have many questions when the time comes for that.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Cliff6870, it is called graphite grey metallic, a Daimler Chrysler color. It has a high % of fine aluminum in the formula. Sparkles in the bright sun and looks almost black at night.
