Firebird Update...

Belive me I want to get to working on it. But I am waiting for the parts to become available. I was gonna order the parts like a week ago. But the company didn't have the parts. So now I am waiting to get the parts in. We'll see what happens there I guess.

They said I can hopefully get the Muffler and the Transmission Rebuild kit by next week. Then all that's left is the Bushings and the thrust washers for the Transmission rebuild, and the torque converter.

After those are all on there I will tune up the carborator, and get the car inspected and licensed. Before I can do all that I need to get it signed over to me and insured.

Sigh. So much to do and so little time left after work recently. I really would like to be able to work on it. Or atleast be able to drive it around.

Life sucks. But I guess I am starting to get used to it. Maybe after all this overtime is over with I will have decent enough cash flow to do all the work I want to to the car.

I would like to paint the car, and get the clear taillights for it. If I can find them even. Tint the rear window. And redo the interior in black.

I also would like to up the displacement. Replace the carb with a Fuel Injector. Drop in a supercharger. Add a swaybar. Increase the stiffness of the suspension. And possibly add NOS.

Autocross would be nice, but I don't think that I would be able to drive that well. we'll have to see...
