sorry...not 3rd gen but...

Someone was interested....so I had to post these. These are of my dad's 1975 Firebird Formula which we have been working on since I was 14...it has been over 13 years since he first purchased this and the project began. It has been completely restored and seriously built up. That is the second set of rubber on the back...burned up the last set in one pull.

It is my father's gift to my son when he turns 18. He is 5 now and already knows that it is to be his car.

You coulda just sent the pics to the person who was interested in them in email, since this is probably going to **** Brad off since you knowingly posted non-thirdgen content.

the shaker hood is my dad's idea...I figure it is his car...he can do whatever he wants! He is touching up the paint on the rear of the car and putting on a new front clip. The car was bought from a farmer for $5. It had no glass, no rear quarter panel on the driver side, the front end had been wrecked, no engine, no wheels at all. It was either red or rusted...not sure which! I guess "completely" restored isn't quite the correct description...should say ALMOST restored.

i forgot to say something positive about your dad's car lol

That little "almost" would've set me straight. I just asked because the body seemed straight, but it had some primer spots. THe hood is very interesting. think the motor'll get plenty of air? ram-air cowl cool nice ride
