I enjoyed the slide show. Great job on the Formula, love the results. I haven't been much of a fan of after market wheels on third gens, but those wheels really look good on that black Bird.

Nope! A buddy (owner of the salvage yard who found it) was suppose to take it to get safety tested on tuesday and still hasn't. So its just sitting there at the yard. I still hope it's the flexplate.

Thanks, the 87 is still hanging in there lol! I've been slowly stripping it down and gathering parts. I have a potential engine for it, 6.0 LSX

Thanks! I'm a big fan of the wheels too, for some reason I don't really like the stock wheels on black formulas, but on a color like yours they look good.

P.S. I'm jealous you have a flame red with the silver accents formula, got to be one of my favorite combinations next to yellow and silver!

Re: Slideshow of my Formula from start to finish

If the mysterious knock is a rod I have a LT1 that could possibly go in it. I'm going to do a little research on the difficulty of the swap to see if I can have it done fairly quick.

nice. I have seen those wheels a long time ago on a bird at a car show. I know they were aftermarket wheels back in the day you could order.

Yeah, on the back drums it has a very thin spacer and these wheels can be adjusted to fit other bolt patterns
