I've posted a few times in the forum, and already received invaluable help so thank you all for being here. I realized that I never properly introduced myself or the car I'm working on with my dad.
My name is William, and this was me back in the late 80s:
With three kids, my parents traded the car in on an Oldsmobile Cutlass (I think). I know - lame.
But then in the late 90s, my dad bought this:
Y88 Gold SE, 4 speed, chrome valve covers (I don't remember the significance), power windows, tri-band stereo (although not in the car).
We sent it out for a body restoration:
And we had the engine rebuilt:
We upgraded the interior from cloth to vinyl:
That got us here:
Now we are revamping the rest of the interior. Replacing the parcel shelf, replacing the speakers, new carpet, new console, dying faded interior panels, etc. I'd like to get him a factory original tri-band stereo in August for his birthday(it's UM2 on his build sheet). I know he wants to pull the motor and have up the horsepower a little this time around (it dynoed at just over 300hp to the wheels).
Hopefully within the next year I'll have a '77-'78 TA or other Firebird to kind of match his. In the meantime, I just get to play with his car!
