70 Firebird Pro-Touring TA "" Cherokee Soldier""
 

Well after no less than three false starts with 70 shells we have a winner,,, this super clean (I'm talking not even a tiny bit of pitting) project is finally got traction.... My good friend Tony Ramos will be building the car together with myself and I look forward to a very cool ride that pays homage to vintage styling while updating suspension components, driveline and shedding some real weight for a daily driver... The build was inspired by a super nice TA from down under (thanks Cam she sure is a beauty)...

The plan is to run a basic LS1 warmed up by West Bend Dyno that features a MSD injection system through a Brian Finch provided T56 and 10 built ten bolt... Utilizing a stock subframe we'll update with A arms and coilovers up front from our good friends at Ride Tech... Pro-touring F body will be hooking us up with their G-Braces, frame connectors and solid body bushings.. Out back we'll be utilizing a set of Global west lowering springs and Ride Tech smoothies.. The vintage appearing 15" Ralley II's will compliment the stockish paint theme and BFG Goodrich will be planting the power to the road in vintage styled rubber.... The showcase a PPG custom color blend has a unique Turquoise hue to what would otherwise be a Lucy Blue paint scheme and the interior is somewhat undecided,, however is leaning to one of my signature Tuxedo White updates...

Carbon Kustoms Ltd will oversee the build and of course be supplying the nose, hood, shaker, fenders, inner fenders, and door skins.. Should budget allow we will be reaching out to Anvil auto for a trunk lid, rear center spoiler section and rear filler panel...

A quick couple of pic's that showcase the sweet undercarriage of this shell....

Can't wait to see this one!!

Love the wheels and tires!

Can't wait for this one to come together Albert! LOVE your builds! :relax:

Thanks Rick I'm glad you like what we do...

Ty, it been a little tough out of the gate but I'm really getting stoked about the build now and coming into my stride,, thanks man.

ArisESQ, thanks man I just wanted that vintage look for this one and thought it'd be cool as a look to pay homage to the stock rims of the day...

Chichirone, thanks buddy... BTW we're way overdue for one of our hour long calls bud.. I'm finally home for a couple of weeks, lets talk pal.....

can't wait to see this one going together.

I dig the deep custom Rally II's. Sounds like another great build.

Speaking of which, have you ever heard anything from the guy who bought Sleep Beauty, Albert?

Sure John's doing well and has been very busy with family and work (this guy has a lot of responsibility and a very large staff with his work) ... I understand he took the car apart and went through it very thoroughly.. He personalize the car to his own preferences and I'm waiting to see it come out again.. He is a really nice guy and you'll likely see the car out this summer I would think all things equal....
