The project still looks great!  I love seeing the picture with the dashboard off....not often you get to see a vehicle like that!

Started the Disassembly on my 72 455 HO Trans Am with my son this past weekend. ;D I love this stuff!

This is an awesome thread, I'm new to the site and really enjoyed reading whole thing from the start. I just bought a 73 Firebird, I love the body style.
Great work on yours so far!

Looks like you are doing a fantastic job :o, that's going to be one beautiful Trans Am.  I wish I had the room to attempt something like that. :D  Looking forward to seeing more pictures.

Got a few things mounted on the fire-wall this past weekend. I hope to get the sub-frame back on two wheels next week!

Looks great Pat.. I had forgot about them having a POA valve that year, I think '72 was the final year for that if I remember correctly.

this is a car to be very proud of. I am looking forward to this car slapping the faces of many award ceremonies when done. I am impressed with the lengths of to the tee stock restoration your doing with your 72 it is amazing. I can only hope to stay that focused on my y82 I really really hope that i can. I may be pm'ing you from time to time for moral support as to how you stay so focused and yet nothing but the best of efforts and quality are really showing! OUTSTANDING!
