72 TA clone details
Thanks,
Yes, I did all of the work with the exception of the paint/bodywork. I started with a driver quality, base model 350/350 Firebird, and then collected parts for a couple of years before starting the conversion.
The power leather seats are out of a Subaru Legacy and were obtained from Ebay after visiting a dealer and measuring them for fit in the Bird. Mild 462 w/HO intake, T400, stock rear w/Eaton posi and steel axles. Full Hotchkis Sport Suspension kit, 16" Americans w/245 BFG G-Force, Konis, SSBC rear disc kit, custom Bassani 3" stainless exhaust, WFO shaker kit, and welded CE sub-frame connectors. I just finished converting the dash to TA style; installing the msd, new carpet and underlay, dash cap, and headliner.
