New guy with 71 Formula 455

[71455Formula]

Here's how the car started.







Couple mid way.







Heres before I left on another deployment.







Seats and steering column are getting redone. People doing them said they're gonna look good when done. Seen some of their other seats and they look good, so I can't wait.

Welcome to the site, Ben. Glad to have another 2nd gen bird here. Car looks great!

Not many of us left. Found another pic.

I know it's a mess in there, but it's what I got since I'm gone alot on deployments.

Looks great Ben. You have done a ton of work on it. Love the white Procar seats.

[BBBluey]

Looks freaking awesome!

And I gotta say, I think it's great you used an actual project car in dire need of restoration to bring back to life.

The 71 is my dream ride.

The third gen mesh wheels look great. Are you planning to keep them?

[71455Formula]

Thanks to all.

Sorry if the seats are confusing, but in the pics they're bare foam seats with the plastic on them. At the moment a friend of mine is covering them with black leather. Seen seats she's done before and I have no doubt they'll come out perfect.

I got the WS6 wheels for temp use. I'm gonna get rid of them. Eventually. Buddy of mine has first dibbs on them. If he doesn't want them....they'll be up for sale. Gonna either put YO Rally 2's or Torque thrust 2's.

Welcome Ben! There are a few of these early 2nd generation Firebirds on here and new ones are always welcomed!!!

Thanks. It's really rare to find true Formula's anymore. Everyone's converted them to T/A's or has a T/A.
