Finished installing the interior back into my Firebird today and cleaned it up a bit from all the work thats been done over the past 7 months. I did a lot of safety upgrades including full cage, full containment seats, fire systems, etc. Full details about the project can be seen at http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48151

What are your goals for the car? Race the hell out of it I assume, but doing what and how fast?

looks insane. What was your reasoning for keeping a rear seat if you are taking the car this far?

Fab work looks great.

Previously I've used the car for NHRA and NMCA drag races, NASA and PCDA HPDE events at road courses and top speed racing at the ECTA. I'll continue to do those things and plan on upgrading the engine and transmission to run in the fast classes at open road racing events and Land Speed events. Top cruising speed now with the new 2.41 rear I built last year should be in the 150's MPH and I'd like to get up to around 200 at top speed events. I was limited to 135 MPH at Land Speed events without a cage etc.

I'd like to run the Silver state open road race and Bonneville. Will probably go to the Texas open road races first to get the new guy certifications out of the way since I'm way down in FL. Also I've got a buddy that wants to do the Targa New Foundland at some point.

My next track day is June 20-21 at Sebring for the full 3.7 mile course with NASA. Then ECTA in NC June 27-28 for a top speed event if I can get a fire suit before then.

Looks great John. It sure is a tight fit in there for everything!
Good luck at the events, be safe!
