Wow, didn't realize I hadn't subscribed to this before. Part of me wants to do something like this, most of me doesn't have anywhere close to the patience.

 

Have had lots of things to do this winter, hope to be getting back on this a bit more soon.

 

I hear ya! Me too. Been busy restoring my daily driver. Liquidblue is just sitting there looking pretty with lots of backing out of the garage to make room to work and the occasional drive to fill up the tank.

 

I did stop by the old dealer where my 89 formula 350 came from and where I was going to order my JY car.
I would love to have the building but it's to far from my house to make me feel warm and fuzzy about security. Even have a neon Pontiac sign I could put up....

 

Anyone have SLP Tri-Y header install instructions for 88-92 ?

 

That's really cool! With as many cars as you have, you could justify this purchase.

 

Show that picture to any married woman and see how it goes for ya.

 

My wife is all for it !!

 

Here's to Good Wifes! : Ziggy Ziggy Hoy Hoy
man our emojis need updated- added too

 

Really???? What are you waiting for????????????????????????????????

 

Guess he doesn't want her to get used to living in the shop I can think of worse places
under a Bridge

or a Van like Matt Foley

 

I wish my wife were all for it.....

 

TTOP's garage would be a top notch place for most guys to live..... Most women don't see it that way though

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Chris F was the best!

 

Since it was nice out on sunday, this happened. Yes, that's a real 74 SD 455 TA 4speed. I had driven and almost bought it for 6500 b4 it was restored.
My friend Bill has been busy with life and has only put 1,000 miles on it since it was restored(20yrs ago)


My black 89 and my friends maroon 89 were both sold new from this old Pontiac dealer

 

We had a red 74 SD that ran around my hometown, thanks for sharing!

 

Looks like you guys had a nice turnout. Wish I could have made it, but the lack of insurance on the bird and the enormous list of honey does...

 

Very cool Tony but "IT" is still taking too long!

 

You're killing me smalls .. lol

 

Not a good video but its a start. Well, scratch that, I can't get it to upload.

 

Not working

 

probably got a virus....

 

I like"IT" a lot! I am partial to yellow thirdgens.... Don't know why...
Keep up the great work!
DR.K.

 

I can't wait to see this car completely together in person. I don't think it even had a motor the last time I saw it.

 

Come on over any time!!

 

funny guy

(Covid 19 joke)

 

He only lives maybe 15 mins away lol

 

Hell, I would hate to think how many parts on my car probably came from Tony's garage. haha!

 

Another cool T/A Nationals video from shutterfuel. My kiddos even made it in there.

I watched one of them on YouTube, The other night. Saw your car with the red wheels and the unpainted hood.

Cool. Thank Tony!

 

Round 2 ?

Need to get a tune bad !

Found a lower boot that'll work better than the nothing that wasn't there.

 

You know, even though I saw this car in person...and maybe I noticed at the time...but I didn't recall how wild the throttle and cruise cables were with that intake system. Crazy.

 

The early Firehawks didn't have that because they didn't have cruise control or an automatic transmission.

I think, that's the only reason they were made, for the later cars that were pulled off the lots to be converted.

 

Tont is right. SLP never intended to have to accommodate the cruise control linkage in the Firehawks. They did seem to have a plan for customer cars. I suppose that provided the basis for a couple of the later Firehawks that had cruise. Bruce's #24 is a B4U car with K34 cruise. #25, #26 , #27 were not B4U but have cruise. #21 and #22 do not have cruise.

 

Had some time to button up some battery box details.
Now that I know the lower works how I want it, I'll remove it an build the "pretty" one.

 

Is that a sealed box or does it vent? What kind of battery did they use back then? Looks nice! 👍🏻 Seems as though passenger side is ideal, but they would have had to sacrifice the spare in the process. Did these cars come equipped with shut offs or any safety features like that?

 

Sealed pretty much, mine does vent to the bottom of the car.
Stock type/size battery
I would have put it in the pass side, but SLP didn't, so I'm not either for this one.
Other than 005, which we think was done by an owner, I haven't seen another one with a shut-off yet, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one or a few with it.

 

Good to see your working on "IT" some, did you ever get tune figured out? if not Get R Dun man!

 

You bent that up and welded it? Nice looking work!

 

Not the lid, it's actually from a real 92 Firehawk. A few owners didn't like having to deal with the lids so they leave them off. I ended up with one of those.

 

400 upper/lower are here. Waiting on plenum gaskets.

 

crazy! planning on starting a biz selling these!

 

Cornering the market.. inquire within for this exciting (and most likely losing $) investment opportunity today!

 

"The investments and services offered by us may not be suitable for all investors. If you have any doubts as to the merits of an investment, you should seek advice from an independent financial advisor."

 

after my bird investments this is a no brainer! where do I sign up ?

well at least you have a lifetime supply now

 

Side tank gaskets are finally done ! Sets are ready as soon as i figure out how to ship them

 

Would it be safe to assumed there was a minimum count needed? That’s a lot of gaskets! But hey no worries about ever needing one! Lol

 

Tony we really would rather see this thing running around Elkart lake than an oversupply of gaskets
