Got asked for some pictures of the hot rod project so here you go!
She’s a 1970 1/2 true W66 Formula Firebird, 1 of 1200 made, Ram Air 3, originally in atoll blue. She was supposed to be a project between my grandfather and me. He was a total pro, owned a body shop in cottage grove for 40 years and worked most the race cars that raced at the Cottage Grove Track. We deliberately chose a rust bucket that was worth something finished, so he could show me the ropes on metal work and body work. Unfortunately, right as the car arrived from Georgia he passed away. So this build is now in his honor. EVERY panel needs major metal work, and will keep me busy for years to come. So far I redid the floor panels, trans tunnel, rebuilt the entire front clip and suspension, got her running and driving, and this summer, will be working on fixing her ass end - trunk panel and rear window surround. These are my dream cars., my first car every was an 89 formula, and I’ve got the screaming bird tattooed on my chest lol.
