WOW!! Thanks for posting pictures Travis. It's evident just how much work is involved....Man !! It's top notch all the way. The "dual" exhaust is cool. Is it required to keep it straight on track or just a cool factor ?? Just curious..

I know John's a body and paint guy, so I'm sure he plans to work his magic on it soon, I vote for Vedoro Green, with the white HO side stripe that says "Turbo" instead, and maybe "Ram Air" cross the front hood area near turbo opening. hope he gets to bring it to Norwalk!

I saw this Firebird at the Orlando World Street Nationals last fall. Gorgeous car and very well built. I talked to the guy and it was for sale!

That car was at the PRI show a couple of times.
The owner works at a tech college I think?

It was powered by a BBC, but I think he said they were thinking of putting an LSx engine in it maybe?

Sounded like he did a lot of exhibition racing mainly?

It was a very well built car.
