VERY NICE! Nothing short of amazing, truly.
I was hoping to figure out some type of air box as well, did some initial homework, and found it difficult to get specific information on the boxes (dimensions, flow, etc). May end up just doing a traditional throttle body and air cleaner assembly, will have to see once I get to that point. (wanted to do drive by wire) My workspace/garage is like 7' x 18', so my projects tend to be slightly limited! Could only dream of a nice workspace/garage! .

GA Frame Assembly Begins
After all the fabrication work was complete, I had the frame and related items powder coated in a gunmetal grey. I had the frame delivered to my house so I could start the reassembly process.

Front Suspension and Brakes
So some changes were made up front on the suspension and brakes. I decided to upgrade to larger Wilwood brakes front and rear. I contacted Ron Sutton to use his services for a suspension and brake upgrade. Ron is a fantastic person to work with, and I highly recommend his services to anyone not wanting to make mistakes and waste money. He works with Speedtech Performance and he recommended their new Extreme ATS 2.0 spindle so that I could run a Corvette brake package, but this required a new set of Speedtech upper control arms. Speedtech said the uppers were needed to have correct geometry with their spindle. As for the brakes, I am converting the car to manual brakes. No more hydroboost. I did a ton of research on the idea and realized you need to be very careful not to mix and match parts. It's too easy to get it wrong and wind up with poor brake performance. That's why I went to Ron Sutton. He has his own formula's to work out every detail, and then shows you exactly what you need. Caliper piston volume, pedal ratio, master cylinder bore size....it all has to work together. The spindles came with matching billet steering arms. They are for 2nd generation F-Bodies. The '73-'77 cars share the same suspension.

Front brakes are Corvette C-6, six piston Aerolite calipers, with 14.25" Spec 37 rotors. Spindles incorporate the Corvette ZR1 hubs.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
