Love your car. Tony Angelo's Firebird is my brother's old car he did all the work on it back in the 80's. Thats a back yard paint job we did in my parents' garage. Oh, and we're from Maryland too!

Very cool video! This really is one of my favorite builds. I hope to join everyone for sick week with my TA in the next couple years. It will have to wait until it’s converted to turbos, doing it with the current NA set-up would be hard on parts.

Here are the front traction bar mounts I mentioned before that tuck up inside the front assembly. These are steel instead of billet. Your TA seems to 60’ pretty well but it would give you more adjustability.

Btw the coil brackets worked out great! Thanks again

I got Nick a Kirkey containment seat instead of the regular drag seat so he had to do a little tweaking of his original mounts for that but I'll feel better knowing he's safer. Started some final assembly of suspension components. More to come.

I periodically go through this build thread looking for ideas for my TA build (I was looking for intercooler information)and noticed your Newport Engineering wiper motor.. very cool piece. I actually need to add a wiper motor to my car. Did it go in without much hassle? Did you remote mount the switch or integrate it in the dash?

So we have a vfn fiberglass dash and it's mounted to the left of the Holley dash in the face of the dash. The motor is a direct bolt in replacement.
