My 1978 Firebird

I was also wondering is everyone holding those cars up or are they holding you guys up?

[Zapper2003]

Those are our USA Drinking Team hats in red white and blue. Because 'Merica. And yeah, that Motel 6 is as close to pay by the hour as it gets.

[Firebirdjones]

Aha, drinking team hats, that answers that question. So the cars are holding you guys up

[Zapper2003]

We behaved.



I'm gonna keep this car as a firebird and not convert it to a t/a with the shaker hood and vented fenders etc. I have a 3.42 posi rear that other forum member TLS_Addict gave me out of a 2nd gen camaro he had at one time. I'm gonna wait on the install, though. I think I want to convert it to disc brakes at some point.

I got exceptionally lucky with my car. Its entire life was spent in New York, however I'm certain it was garaged its entire life. Everything I've touched on it has come free without much hassle. The only rust on the car is low on the door in the front corners (common) and around the rear window trims. Some surface rust near the trunk hinges and a bit on the firewall near the drivers door top hinge. All of that will be addressed when it comes time for the paintjob. As for now, it's visually a 100' car and runs/drives great. I can't complain though, I got a 3rd place trophy at Carlisle for the 70-81 Modified Firebird/Trans Am class.

Zach, car looks great! Congrats on taking third! Did you get a good look at dale griffith's 76? That thing is amazing!

[Zapper2003]

No I didn't. Was that the black one at the show? He left before I made my way up to the front of the show.

I REALLY need to go some year...

[Zapper2003]

Missed that one too. A lot of people didn't stay very long either.

[Zapper2003]

As promised...new pictures from the Beaver Springs Dragway pit-area. Ran a days best of 15.22 @ 94mph, topping my previous best of 15.7.

[SMWS6TA]

Zap you did a great job.....looks sweet.

[pajeff02]

Yeah, his car is ok. But how about that sweet Dodge in the background?

[0rion]

dodge probably runs a 15.1

[Zapper2003]

I think he pulled a low 16 second pass

[0rion]

you should take it down the track forwards next time to see what it'd do......i'm just assuming that 15.2 was in reverse right?

[pajeff02]

Once he installs the new rear I see a 100 mph pass coming.

[naperws6]

God I love that color

[pajeff02]

It is a very sharp looking car -- and I agree, the color on it is perfect.
