Just bought my new weekend car/project

adamhoud · 04-20-2007, 02:07 AM

I just picked up a 73 firebird, which I have wanted for years.....I plan to drop a rebuilt 455 into it, it has 42K original miles, and is in very good shape, maybe some black paint and a trans am spoiler should go on it too.

Oooo! You'll have to bring that to the next Bay Area meet.

adamhoud · 04-20-2007, 02:37 AM

Not until I get it fixed up the way I want, which will probably take all summer.

Tastycakes · 04-20-2007, 03:49 AM

Ohhhhhhhh, i had a huge thing for those (71-73) Trans Ams when i was like 15-16. You gotta put the shaker and the spoiler on that beast. Paint it blue w/ a fat ass white stripe. OMG i think i just busted a nut

adamhoud · 04-20-2007, 10:52 AM

Yeah, I have loved these since I was like 10. I think I'm gonna do a formula hood instead of a functional shaker hood though. I want to paint it black.

haha nice. i used to have one with a built 400. and i crashed it in the rain cuz i had 1 to 1 ratio in the rear and it hated turns. but here is my new project car

adamhoud · 04-20-2007, 11:25 AM

What was the 400 a pontiac motor or chevy? Nice car btw.

elsnowblow · 04-20-2007, 11:28 AM

it was pontiac.

thank you

adamhoud · 04-20-2007, 12:40 PM

Where did you find information about rebuilding the engine, are there any forums? I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet with information about them. I'm debating building the 350 or just finding a 400-455 to drop in.

aki · 04-20-2007, 02:12 PM

That's a mean looking car. I think a flat black or satin silver would look hot.

adamhoud · 04-20-2007, 02:24 PM

Picture this in black, with black leather interior.

Nice....

inyong1988 · 04-20-2007, 03:03 PM

it will be meaner if you put some $$ into it

Kroze · 04-20-2007, 09:30 PM

adamhoud · 04-20-2007, 10:15 PM
