New guy in CA with a 69 Firebird

[anguilla1980]

Thought a proper introduction is in order. My name's Alex and I'm in Bakersfield CA. I bought a 69 Firebird and drover her home from Texas back to CA on Oct 31st. Broke down 4 times on the way back, such an awesome trip tho, I've been missing old cars since selling my survivor '56 vette.

Pictures and mods are at the link in my sig. She is my daily driver/project car. I never plan on painting her. I've been doing a few repairs and upgrades here and there. I'm going for a car that will take Hellcats on the street, run a 9.99 1/4 with slicks on the track, run in Optima events, and have the look of a vintage Trans Am series race car.

I have the engine in a good place right now so my next focus is suspension. Then my rear end and better heads and cam to finish her out. Right now I'm only at about 435hp and 550ft/lbs because of the stock heads and conservative cam. My goal is about 750hp and 750ft/lbs N/A plus a 200 nitrous shot for the track. Just wanna get a legit 9.99 with the nitrous on the track with slicks then I'll call it good

I'm going to keep a full interior, she has a new Vintage air setup, dynamat, etc. so I plan on keeping her for daily driver duty as I have done with all of my old cars.
