      Finally!

      I have mostly been a lurker over the past year or two, but finally have made enough progress on the car to post some pics. Thanks to Frank and the GP Superstore, I have Speedtech UCA's and LCA's, Hotchis front swaybar, Wilwood aluminum dual master cylinder, and a fancy SS bolt kit, all at killer discounts. I am also running a Hydratech brake booster and QA1 coilovers up front, but the rear still has stock mono-leaf springs that I will need to address when time/money allow. Also, I still running stock disc/drum brakes and the rear springs are still replacement mono leaf's setup for drags. The added performance of the Hydratech system will keep me happy for the short term with the brakes, so I will likely address the rear next. Anyone have a set of used GW multi's for sale? The trans is a TH400 that I would like to change to a TKO600, but again I will have to recover from the body/paint and engine costs first. Wheels are Bonspeed "Big Blocks" 18x8 F and 18x9.5 in the rear. Most importantly, power is coming from a traditional Pontiac 400 stroked to 455CI, running Edelbrock aluminum heads and a solid roller cam. Pretty mild setup, but the dyno numbers show why I didn't put a Chevy in it!!

      Here are some pics, tell me what you think.

      Really sharp car. First time I have seen it. I am really a big fan of the 69 Firebirds.

      Thanks again Frank. You definitely helped me pull things together with the discounted parts. The car isn't done to the level of Jagarangs car, but I think that it has turned out pretty close to my vision. Hopefully I will be able find some more deals with you to finish the car.
