1970 Firebird - Pro Touring Project

[jtwoods4]

Well guys, I finished the 1970 Trans Am and I didn't know what to do with myself. I was on craigslist about 3:00am the other night and this popped up. I immediately went to the bank the next morning, loaded the trailer, and drove up to north Georgia to buy it. The previous owner was a body shop guy with 29 years experience. He was planning to build the car for himself but ran out of money and had to move to Florida. He was unloading all his car stuff. He had already finished all the sheet metal work and the car was in primer. I have not been able to find any rust anywhere on the car and the original factory red oxide primer can be seen in a lot of places. I was really shocked at the condition of the car. Not to mention it still had the original numbers matching drive train, even though it was only a Pontiac 350 Esprit.

His plan was to restore it as a Formula 400 clone so he had an original 1970 Formula 400 hood on the car ($1000 by itself) and the rear spoiler. What a perfect car for a pro touring build!

My first plan of action.... DSE Tubs and DSE Quadralink ... Then in goes the cage 8)

Enjoy the build
