Keep up the good work! Glad to see another bird coming 'round!:thumbsup:

Thanks :D I mostly work on it once a week; Friday nights or "Firebird Friday". The car sat for months without any progress until I started my Friday ritual. It's really amazing what can be done if you just dedicate a few hours every week.

I went and picked up the sub frame from the powdercoaters today

I love that statement --

Guys ask me all the time -- "how do you get so much done...." My pat answer "I actually work on it". Funny how they don't build themselves at night while you're sleeping! :rofl: God how I wish they would!

Yea, they sure don't. I usually pick one thing to do on Friday night and do it; even if it's something small like setting a gap correctly, it gets me that much closer. I'm actually amazed with how much I was able to get done this past year just completing a small task each week.

It's looking great! This sure is inspiration for my build. I should be back on it this weekend chipping away at it...

Thanks, chipping away is the way to do it :D

Really nice job so far on the build, I wish I could do it that way pulling the subframe out and all. oh well, small garages suck, LOL. I'll be keeping and eye on your build. keep the pics flowing.

Thanks, I will. The subframe is now mounted and I stuck the original rear end back in; I have two tires on the ground :thumbsup: Once I finish painting my lower control arms and engine brackets, I'll have a roller...

Here's an update.
I mounted the subframe using Global West solid bushings, mounted the GW upper arms, painted the stock lowers. Upper and lower arms have poly bushings. I also mounted the stock rear-end for the time being so that I could get this to roller status. The brakes will be C5; I picked up a set of calipers for a good price, so I guess I'll be giving Kore3 a call for some brackets and hardware.
