This channel is about my 3 Pontiac Firebirds. The 1970 Firebird base model is being converted to a TransAm. I am in the process of adding a mini-tub, 4 link rear suspension, narrowed rearend, new front suspension, 525hp LS3 with 6 speed auto transmission and 6 point rollcage. First videos of the conversion will come soon. The 1974 Firebird Formula 350 is a showroom looking restoration inside and out. The original 190hp smog engine has an added 4b carb with functioanl RamAir hood and air cleaner pan. It has a factor 3 speed automatic transmission. The third Firebird is a 1999 Firebird, FireHawk, it is one of 225 made that year in Navy Blue Metallic. The FireHawk model was modified by SLP for GMC. It has a functioanl RamAir hood and 4 speed automatic transmission with limited slip rear differential. The suspension has been lowered with stiffer springs, larger sway bars and Bilstein shocks. A SLP Loud Mouth cat back exhaust has been added.
Chapter 64 1970 TransAm Clone - in the paint shop
The project car is in the paint shop. This will be a 4 to 6 month process. This will include final tweaks to the body work. The paint shop is independent from the fab shop. Pictures of the paint progress will be released occasionally by the paint shop. I will bundle these pictures into a video as noteworthy progress is made. The thumbnail is a depiction of my paint color, Radiant Red Tintcoat, GMC code is GNT for 2023, Fisher paint code is WA170H, on a 2022 Camaro. I think the color had a different name in 2022.

Nice 1stgen celica in the thumbnail.
Thanks for sharing 🎉
I can remember a Car and Driver road test of the Firebird SD 455 HO in the '70s. They billed it as (I think) the last muscle car. If I'm right it had around 290 bhp, a far cry from what the likes of the Z28 was producing just a few years earlier. This looks like it will be one Hell of a recreation. Greetings from the other side of the Pond.
Thanks for the comment. I will be be putting in a 525hp LS3 with a 6L80E transmission.
This is turning out great man :) Dropped a like for you.
Thanks for the comment. Yours is the first in 26 chapters. I hope the next chapter will show the new fenders.
@@pontiacbob99 I think if you rework the titles and just put in what you are doing in the episode and drop the chapter bit, you will get even more viewers and more comments :) So in short try to explain what happens in the video with title & thumbnail. Great content otherwise, I am sure that many people will enjoy it. :)
@@TheE46Guy Thanks for the suggestions. I'll think about it.
