Finally posting 88 firebird pontiac build

Ok so ive been on this website for a while now and have been backstage and figured id started talking about my project......

I got a 88 firebird. Had it since i was 16 and love it. With the odometer heading closer and closer to 200k i figured id start rebuilding it.

Ive converted all my stuff to fit a Pontiac 400 and im in the process of rebuilding mine now.

If anyone has any questions or want pic ill be glad to post

Hope you enjoy
