Here is my current car - 1973 Formula 455. Its all stock but I just received my order from Jeg's:

068 HO/Ram Air Crane Cam/Lifters
Edelbrock Performer Carb
Edelbrock Performer Intake
Proform HEI Distributor
Carter 6 psi fuel pump
Edelbrock IAS Shocks
Hurst Dual Gate Shifter

My wife is happy that I ordered it all and hopes I will stop talking about it! I will keep all the stock parts but I made the same changes to the above TA and it really perked things up.

You guys inspire me.
I figure to be finished by the time my sons ready to drive, he's not three yet

Just realized all my pictures are lame, and the car is on four jackstands in the garage. Maybe I'll give an honest picture over the weekend.

Here's a photo of my two "babies". Its the official before photo, and you can see the reason I can't afford the correct paint job yet. Both take all of my time and money. I hope to have it mostly completed in time to take her to school in a few years. 1973 T/A Original 455 4spd with a/c

Tikler, I love what you did with the 81-to-73 conversion!!!!! T-tops, early front end, best of both worlds!!!

The "Frankenbird" rules!

Here's my 73, stock 400/TH400, complete with its 20 foot paint job. It doesn't look as nice now since the lady across the street put a soccer-ball sized dent in the passenger fender.

Hey Les...
What wheel/tire combo are you running?
(Type, back space, tire sizes, etc.)
It looks mean!
Thanks!

My first car was a 73 Bird but it is long sense gone. But I'm hooked on Firebirds for life.
