    My New Project 1980 Firebird Formula

    I just got my rotating assembly in and it went on down to D&R to be with the engine. They are gonna do some machine work on the block and balance the rotating assembly. Then once I get the stuff back in a couple of weeks, I'll try my best to get pics of the engine/cars progress, gonna be slow over the next couple of months as I will be buying parts for the engine and car. Next parts I'm looking at are the heads/flywheel/balancer. Gonna be fun and just hope finances go good to get it up and running this year :-) Looking to get some really nice gains out of the engine and hoping to get the car looking decent and hopefully one color as I'm gonna do my best to learn body work this year.

    ( No pics yet, will get some soon )

    Just waiting for a nice day off to get out to my dads shop and get the cover off and start doing work :-). Then I'll try flooding with pics and progress. Just a starter thread.
