When you can, try to get some more pics of the car. I am particularly interested in what the wheels/tires look like from different angles. I am trying to decide on tire sizes for mine and I want to see how the 285 looks from behind.

Hope to have some pics of the car in the next couple weeks. I will post them when I get them.

The weight reduction: Honey comb rims,very heavy. All heating and a\c removed. Aluminum heads, intake, water pump. Manual disc brakes. Lite weight forged wheels. No spare or jack. And of course the new suspension. All adds up. Each honey comb rim weighs as much as a complete rim and tire. Most people don't realize that a 75 TA weighs 4200 lbs.
The conversion should have taken a lot less time. It was 7 months. But remember this is the first TA done. 70-74 F bodies are a little different than 75-81. And the Firebirds are a little different than Camaro's. Now a shop should be able to do the install in a week or two.

Sleepy Hollow - hmmm I used to live north of you in Algonquin... small world.

Car's looking good - but I'd have to have AC down here in the dirty south! :thumbsup:
