    GM's way to save gas, and to advoid the gas guzzler tax. My Firebird did have it, but not no more. And to the OP, i may of asked you this before? But are you going to do anything to the motor like a cam or something?

      Eventually. We're going to get it running first and save some money up and then get to the engine upgrades. Next summer probably. If we do that though we're going to think about re-doing the rear end and possibly adding a roll cage/substantial chassis stiffening. At the very least the 5 bolt conversion. Eventually hopefully it will be supercharged.... that's the long term goal

                              Dishwashing soap, an electric toothbrush, a lot of time, and then repainted everything...
