Default Hello Everyone

Well after 8 years this cars been sitting in my garage in primer I've decided to get it going. I have a 1983 Firebird that I bought with 28000 miles on it when I was 16. It now has 62000 miles and it needs a total overhaul. 8 years ago I started stripping the body door jams and everything to bare metal and I shot it in primer. Since then it's pretty much just at there. I came across a 406 sbc from a friend that was caught with an illegal motor so I picked it up off him. The motor has only a few nights on it. So I'm finally getting off my but and getting it done. Plan is to completely redo chassis, suspension, and Drive train first then have it painted. Moser 9" rear end, deciding on trans and get this motor up and going.

So that's the story with the car.

Nice to meet you all,
Reno
