This bad bird also has a 10-pt roll cage that is welded to the frame with 2x2 square tubing through the floorboard. The suspension in front is modified with Moroso trick springs and Comp Engineering 3-way adj, racing shocks. In the rear, the Comp.

The 8-Gallon fuel cell and Optima racing battery are mounted in the trunk along with the NOS bottle. The tires are 28.5”x10.5" Phoenix slicks in the rear and 28"x4.5" Morroso front-runners. The Amazon Blue exterior is accented with silver pin stripes. The black interior includes a custom designed gauge panel, front and rear seats, stereo, carpet, headliner, and center console. This Firebird is all metal with the exception of the re-designed fiberglass Ram Air 400 hood.

That is some serious HP you are making there.
Great to see your car, all the best to you!
