Default 1981 Firebird Pro-T/A Build

New to the site, so far it seems like a really nice community of knowledgeable likeminded individuals. Hello to you all. My Name is Drew, I am 27 year old Mechanical Engineer originally from central Kansas moved to Fresno in 2013. I started this project in January of 2015. I picked up this bone stock / rough 1981 Firebird from a guy in Madera CA for cheap! I brought it home and tore into it with a plan to build with my own hands a Pro-touring / Autocross monster. Being an Engineer with access to design software and fabrication experience I designed and build a full chassis, roll cage and 4 link. literally no one other than myself has touched this car. I still have a long way to go. As many of you may know the process of building a car can be quite overwhelming at times. Here are some of the build photos. Let me know what you all think! Thanks for looking!

Also see my IG page for more build photos: @kse_garage
