WIP: Pontiac Firebird '78 TurboJurva 10-23-2005, 05:19 PM What the heck is in there http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20010.jpg Closer... http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20007.jpg Engine in stand http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20008.jpg http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20009.jpg All pipes off http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20004.jpg I have the engine almost done now. Few details left to do. Rims are from some crx i think. I made them a bit wider. Body will be shiny black with some matt black parts, like front bumper. blubaja 10-23-2005, 05:43 PM Ehhk!! :uhoh: That looks hott! Wow....Keep up the awsome progress. Jurva 10-24-2005, 02:48 AM Today, i might put new pics of the engine here. I'll do some detailing first. Mainly oillines for turbo and some vacuum hoses and clamps for connectors. eph2 10-24-2005, 08:02 AM Wow, looks very hot!! rsxse240 10-24-2005, 02:10 PM you may want to upgrade to 5 lug rims before unleashing all that power!!! unless ofcourse it is a typical pontiac of that era running on only 5 of the 8 cylinders!! hahaha tha's a big ass turbo that's for sure!!! what is it off of a mack truck? Jurva 10-24-2005, 03:11 PM I made that turbo. And yes, I know that those rims are missing one lug. But they were best i could find. Also, more pics of the heart. Some painting is needed. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20011.jpg http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20012.jpg http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20013.jpg Jurva 10-26-2005, 06:15 AM I added main power switch and couple gauges to interior. Im thinking whether to add la-radio and radar-detector to this. Allthough this is street legal drag car. Also some reinforcements added to rear end. Some subframe connectors i have to add too. Pics will come evening if my internet connection is working at home. Digitor 10-26-2005, 06:48 AM Wouldn't want to run into that beast at the lights! :uhoh: :biggrin: flying finn 10-27-2005, 08:31 AM I would put the radio and the radar-detector in it, that way it would be easier to find cops to run away from:D Jurva 10-28-2005, 02:18 AM They are in position now. Waiting to get my internet connection fixed. I will put pics as soon as possible. Subframe connector is done, panhard rod added, and a longitudal torsion bar added. Jurva 10-29-2005, 05:41 PM I made couple of changes to underside. Strengthened rear end. Scratchbuilt subframe connector, torsionbar and panhard rod. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20014.jpg Paint on... http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20018.jpg I made power switch and two extra gauges. Radar detector and radio came along with the kit. Mic and wires added. Krystal clear for lenses. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20016.jpg I wont be using targa tops. So I printed alot of stuff to show. Modelbox, adult mags, map, laptop with cds, cigarette box. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jurva/Firebird/Firebird%20017.jpg white97ex 10-29-2005, 06:38 PM awesome. I'm loving the little details Merkava 10-30-2005, 01:30 AM Ha! That's kick-ass! Monster of a turbo, and a well detailed interior. Good work! Jurva 11-02-2005, 02:35 AM I now put images to imageshack. Body attached to frame. I removed the carburetor. Im putting some PE stuff in it. http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/5161/firebird0204fn.th.jpg (http://img397.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firebird0204fn.jpg) http://img499.imageshack.us/img499/4738/firebird0196ni.th.jpg (http://img499.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firebird0196ni.jpg) burgertyv 11-02-2005, 03:08 AM Wow! Looks nice, keep it up! flying finn 11-02-2005, 04:30 AM Damn that looks mean!! I like the exhaust, I wouldn´t mind waking up the neighbourhood with that thing:D BTW: Where did you get those rear meats? I could use a pair or two.. Jurva 11-02-2005, 05:53 AM I think tyres are from some toy car. Rims are widened. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
