Thanks for the compliment/moral support!

I do have a twin posting at the PerformanceYears.com website under the 70-73 Firebird section. (Though I seem to get more entertaining comments over here)

I've only been on this site for about a year but this thread is one I always look forward to seeing any updates on. Between this and kwhizz's 37 Ford build thread a guy could learn years of technical information in one sitting.

Impressive work and a great reference for others. Thanks for sharing Steve.

Started her up and drove her around the driveway this evening. Looks almost finished from this angle.

Yikes, what do we do when this thread is finished? After the Biscayne, and this one, our world will seem empty.

Celebrating the first day of Spring 2010! I have only been working on this car for 23 seasons.

I just got back from my first actual drive of the car in six years!!! Prior to today the only drive I ever took it on was the original test run around the block when I bought it on 11/11/2004.

I buckled my 9 yr old son in the passenger seat and we snuck the car out and drove it around the neighborhood for about 4 miles, through all 4 gears and all 4 barrels.

I dont know what all this hoopla is about the M22 rockcrusher making whining noises. It is relatively silent compared to the industrial, cast iron, A-833 four-speed in my Charger.

The T/A does have a bit of pep, I must say.

As usual, my boy interupted my enjoyable, celebratory test drive with his sarcastic: "That's enough speedy-fast, Dad. Let's go home and throw the baseball around"

Kids. They just don't appreciate good fun!

Here's the offspring about 5 years ago (or as the boy says: "When I was a kid") installing the body on the subframe.
