Hey everyone, first of all I gotta say this place is pretty cool. Tons of info and cool people. Props!

I've got a '67 Firebird convertible. Is it me, or does everyone in the welcome section seem to be a '67 bird owner? Not something I wold have expected, but cool to see! Anyway, the car has been an on going project for years. It now has a 467 ci motor (Pontiac block, poncho powa!) mated to a 5 speed TKO-600 gearbox. Suspension was converted to adjustable coilovers all around, with tubular control arms in front. In the rear it has a 4-link set up. We also upgraded to SSBC disks all around, and completed a rack and pinion conversion.

The car is an absolute blast to cruise around in, it hauls some ass. We didn't build it for drag racing, but the best I've ran was a 12.4 @ 114. Traction/launch is what kills it, obviously. Even at that time, I was yelled at by the officials because apparently un-caged convertibles are restricted to 13 or so and above. Oops



Anyway, just thought I'd do a little intro and I'll try to post my $.02 around. Here's some pics of the 'bird:
