He's done a nice job on it. Bit of a resto mod.

Planning to do a full write-up on here today with bit more details on the specific build and parts. The thread posted from LS2 is a bit of a continuation from some much older threads that are missing some more specific Pontiac type details.

Really nice looking car and looks like a very high quality build. But, I think that "bit of a resto mod" is a bit of an understatement. I can't wait to read more details about it.

I posted a much more detailed thread with some of the particulars of the build on here, looks like it got moved to the 70-73 Firebird tech section.
