- It’s been a long year, but finally the firebird is back home. Feel free to ask any questions about the situation. I’m happy to clear up any confusion.
Jessie and I are looking forward to making this car as good as it always was supposed to be. Much more stuff with this car coming soon.

New (old) stuff being added to the archive channel soon. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I’m glad to see the Firebird back. I stopped watching the other channel after the announcement that it was for sale, I’m glad that it’s going to be done.
“For sale”
@@thruitallauto2538 the trans cooler was never fixed. It was simply moved and the exhaust was removed. The fuel filter/regulator was going to get redone with the rewire. That brake line was also not actually fixed. No new brake fluid was added, and it still leaks.
@@thruitallauto2538 nope. I’ve never seen a single video or post that I wasn’t there for. As soon as I was kicked off the channel in February 2022 I boycotted everything.
@@travisblack417 😂
@@thruitallauto2538 pretty easy to hide the trans cooler when literally the entire exhaust is just missing. That’s like trying to lose weight so you cut off your leg.
So glad you put up the archives footage, you are both wonderful people and I wish both you and Liv nothing but the best life has to offer- along with your girl Jessie !
Travis WAS the old channel. And with Jessie their current channel is a winner! She reminds me of my wife - tall and beautiful. Watching Travis is looking into the LS encyclopedia with his wealth of knowledge and skills.
The rename of the old channel is really hokey.
glad you got it back! looking forward to see it being finished
That opening is WAY fancier than I expected
The last owner strikes me as a narcissist.
I'm glad the bird came back 👍firebirds are on the top of my list ☮️
You know why divorcees and break ups are so expensive??? Because they are (SO WORTH) every penny they cost you. I know of a waitress. She owned a 70 SS454, 69 Z28, 69 Mach I, and some other nice cars she claimed. When asked how she got those nice cars, she said she marries and divorces to get them. Be thankful you got anything back that she claimed to own at one time and feel good what you did get back was not in a wheelbarrow or ashes. NOBODIES business what happened, it happened. Move on and forget about it, plenty of men (me included) have paid a higher price to find happiness.
Your car your choice, but, I would find a better way to mount the radiator and trans cooler up front. The weight penalty for a bracket will pay back a few times over if you loose your trans cooler going over a tire cap on the freeway and can't stop in time. Thanks for the video.
Yeeeaaa boi let's get this thing racing!!!
This popped up in my feed, New subscriber here, glad you got it back, wondered where it went, new chick rocks in every way!
Great to see it back!
Put a link to this channel on the archive channel!
I still want to race this car! Get that big engine in and maybe we can do something later this year at Famoso!
For sure.
So glad you got the Firebird back. When I saw it was up For Sale on the other Channel, I thought, wow, whats going on here? It left me confused and in disbelief. As for the Firebird, I agree putting on fiberglass doors should lighten up the body very well and provide much weight savings. Those steel doors are much heavier than they look. Hope you can mount that transmission cooler much better. It really sucks they won't give you back those gauges that you asked for. Hopefully you can easily find replacements. I really enjoy your channel. Look forward to seeing all you do to make this Firebird into a 9 second car.
I’ve cut the crash beams out of the doors and that saved 38lbs. Even with them out they’re 80lbs each lol.
@@travisblack417 Oh I believe that. To lighten it even further, might look into getting a fiberglass rear trunk deck lid. It will not save a whole lot of weight, but every little bit helps.
I’d like to do that too so I can delete the lock cylinder. I’d prefer to pin the trunk on so I can remove it quickly to access the battery.
Im so glad i stumbled on this video today,,i was disappointed to see this firebird on the other channel.,,,subscribed
Glad you got it. Don't miss the person who had it
I am so relieved that you have the car I tried to find out what happened but it was like looking into space for a graain of dust. I always wondered what happened to the man who knows everything about the new LS style motors on the planet. God bless you and I am looking forward to seeing you finish the car the way it should have been in the first place.
My ex is purposefully refusing to publicly address me. She is doing everything in her power to keep me hidden. I appreciate all work done to spread the word and set the record straight.
You're the reason I watched the other channel. Your knowledge of the LS is mind bending. Glad you got it back and in my opinion the gauges are a small price to pay to be done with it.
A much larger price to pay is losing the entire old subscriber base lol
@@travisblack417 I stream TV and let your channel run on autoplay for my dog when I leave the house. Trying to help get your views up.
Honestly the best way to help is to just spread the word and fill people in on what happened to me.
Why can't we all just get along
That was always my goal. The feud is very unproductive.
Really shitty how if you ask what happened with you, the cars, or whatever, "they" direct the bs to you. I'm glad you landed on your feet and got your wheels back.
Crazy. I knew it was up for sale and was just wondering yesterday what was going to happen to it and boom! Here it is. So this was actually your car all along???
Very cool video weblog post updating us on what you're up to in life 👍
Serial: noun
A story or play appearing in regular installments on television or radio or in a periodical.
"a new three-part drama serial"
@@travisblack417 why so serious 😂
Good to see the FBody back where it belongs. I stopped watching the other channel too much bullshit.
Rock on Travis.
I’m not sure why either you refuse to address the elephant in the room .. All I know is one day everything changed..
Watch the livestreams
I never had the audience to say anything, but I have wanted to the entire time. Ask her why she refuses.
@@travisblack417 inquiring minds wanna know…..🤔
@@22vampyre ask away
I was abruptly kicked off the old channel and subsequently silenced. To this day I have zero idea why she handled everything the way she did. I encourage everyone to ask her yourselves, but she will probably just ignore and delete.
🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁
Get this Firebird to smoke a certain tempest at the dragstrip 😄
Yea buddy send this thing, we just wanna C it racing,
Same
This is the Firebird from Liv.
I missed the 'livestream' for 70 minutes, was trying to go back and then y'all went off ☹️
😢
I started watching your videos of you pulling junkyard motors, and though this guy would be great to know and go to the u-pull yards with. Then I got the bug and decided to pull three aluminum 5.3's at local u-pulls instead of the cast iron I had been thinking of since nobody else wanted to pull them out of trailblazers. Then I noticed you were not in her videos anymore and her videos bored me and stopped watching. I love seeing women interested in the car hobby, but you are what made the videos good, and without you in them I lost interest. Glad to find your videos again, and look forward to more.
You gonna put metal front cap back on or keep the glass front end?
I eventually want to run fiberglass doors too.
@@travisblack417 very cool firebird glad it's back home!!!
supprised to see this and supprised that u two could make a deal or what ever happen
Well seeing how she never ended up publicly addressing me it wasn’t much of a “deal”
@@travisblack417 fair enough i hate conflict iv had very similar proplems with a ex myself
For example was suposed to collect a car from her so she drained the antifreeze and drove it till the head gaskets let go then said it was ready to pick up
what are the rear wheel/tire specs? did you have to modify anything to get them to fit? they look super mean
295/55r15 28x12.5 mickey Thompson ET/SS on a 15x10 centerline convo pro 2.0 5”bs. Fronts are 26x6 ET street fronts. 15x4 centerline convo pro 2.0. I have since switched to a Mickey Thompson ET/R 275/50r15 26x11.5 to go faster on the track. The car is super light and is actually taller in the rear than stock. You’d have to do a fair bit of clearancing to get these to fit and be low.
@@travisblack417 Perfect that is the exact tire and size i was looking at, what are some problem areas you can see for lowering the car. The fitment in the wheel well looks great but im interested in these for track/autocross use, so i would probably go a little lower. If the leaf springs and shock arent problem areas, then im assuming rolling the fender and installing mini tubs will be good enough then? Ill buy the tire and size it up against my car but any information helps.
@@gabrielibarra5551 this is totally not an auto cross style wheelset.
@@travisblack417 I was only interested in the rear wheel specs, not the front. Im building the car to be almost Trans Am spec, so 15/16 inch rims with meats are what im going for but its hard to find rubber this size that isnt purely for drag racing. MTs website said these were good for road and track but i guess i shouldnt have trusted that. Any recommendations? The only other option ive been able to find are 27x11-15 from goodyear made for stock cars, might be the closest/period correct ill be able to find
@@gabrielibarra5551 15x8 rims on the shortest and widest tire size you can find will get you closer to the look you’re after.
Holy shit. I was wondering what happened when you disappeared from Livs channel with no explanation. So does the Firebird belong to you? Plan on keeping it I hope??
This car isn’t going anywhere. Feel free to spread the word about where myself and this car went.
@@travisblack417 after not watching for 9 months,took me over 2 hours of investigating to find you.
@@sprintcarsandguitars959 that’s so frustrating to hear. Spread the word if you can.
Who did the cage?
It was originally done by a guy locally, but he never finished it. Not sure who actually finished it, but the paint job is terrible and already flaking off. I’ll probably paint the entire interior myself (again).
I only watch the other channel if Liv is in a bikini 👙...lol
No bikini action here sorry
Ive seen the upper torso in a bikini, and not much is up there. Ive seen more meat on Kentucky Fried Chicken lol. The bottom line putting looks aside i know that Jessie separates the women from the girls. She is more in tune with Travis than just standing around not getting her hands dirty in videos.
@@craig1974 awe thank you 😊
@@travisblack417 shame they will never get to see it…you rock a bikini quite nicely imo
