Thanks Dave, it keeps me busy.....and broke

No more true words have ever been spoken firechicken! According to my wife, the car gets more than she does! If she really knew the truth there would be alot of a$$ woopin' going on!!!

Your car is looking really good and has come along way. The engine looks great, keep us posted.

Hey Brick, just tell her that it isn't a problem until you start sleeping with the car instead of her!!!!!!!



Note to self----perhaps this attitude may have led to 3 divorces?????? Perhaps better to NOT give advice on marriage issues!!!!!

Yeah brickman,

I too would be in serious trouble if the "capital finance commitee chair person" (ie. my wife) ever performed an "audit" of my hobby.

Cheers,
Firechicken

Tranny cross member fabrication and the chassis is ready to prime. Still got welding to do but with spring coming I want to get it covered before we get warm humid days.

Looking good, Pro. A bit of primer now will sure save a heck of a lot of work later!!!!

Looking killer pro70Z, that cage looks extremely safe, what a car man! Awesome!

Your killing me man!! It may come to that if she ever figured it out! I have shmooosd it over for now with Valentines day, I know I can't go much longer so it's time to bring the car home.

Everything is done that is major, tranny cooler is now mounted up underneath, the rear end has been secured, headers re-gasketed and alternater straightened out. I have to pull the dash back out and hook up a couple of wires I forgot, finish hooking up the curtiousy lights switch, and install the power windows and stereo equipment but I can do that at home and I still have a month to go! I did it Dave!! I can't wait to start cruizin'!!

Well, we got Bill's Firebird out of the paint booth, still needs to be color sanded and buffed. Don't know why the pic is so blue, there is a blue tint to the silver metallic, just not quite that much blue!!!

man that bird looks SWEET! gotta love the 2nd gen f-bodys!

Here's another shot. Between the metallic and a touch of pearl, my camera is totally confused about what color it really is....

Yes Denny, the second picture is really close. The blue really comes out when it's outside. In the garage, it just looks silver. Bills all giggly about it anyway. When I left, he had the car back in the garage and was sitting in a lawn chair looking at it!!!!!!

Yeah, he's had the car a long time. Sold it once, then bought it back a year later. Doubt he will be in any big hurry to get rid of it now!!!!

I've almost have myself convinced that I need a better camera....been looking at a Nikon SLR digital, lots of bucks!!! I know, what isn't !!!!!!!!!

Sweet looking car Dave, geezer power struting it's stuff again!! Well done my man, he has a reason to be proud, you have given the ol' firechicken new found life.

Got the glob of pipe primed today. One step closer.

Looks like a car instead of an jungle jim now anyway, huh??? Always good to start getting the frame in primer the first time, makes it look like progress!!!!
