Well not so much a ride yet, gotta get some kinks worked out. But I bought the 74 Firebird I've been talking about for like a month. 8) I didn't get a steal but I think it was fair, it runs like a scalded dog I'd love to put it on a dyno and see what it does. It's got a 355 with Edlebrock performer heads, RPM Airgap, 10.50:1 compression, roller rockers, supposedly a lunati roller cam don't know the specs other than either .510 or .525 lift... It's not super lopey but it definitely sounds like a pretty aggressive cam and it rips up top so I dunno definitely a pretty drag race specific cam especially with the 2800-3200 stall converter. And yeah, no cats 3 inch mandrel bent duals, and flowmasters (might have to change that though, it's really low they hit on speed bumps).
Oh man, that felt good writing all that. :lol:
Here's the bad part (not a big deal I don't think). Car needs some bugs worked out, I think the wheel cylinders are blown because the brakes don't work and there's fluid leaking out of the drums on the back, or the line in there is broken. And there's a couple small rust issues to be deal with, one of the quarters has had some repair I don't know if it was a dent filled in or a hole filled in with putty, a hole about the size of a dollar bill in the rear passenger floor, and the lower rocker panel drivers side. And I hate the paint... So that's gotta get changed.
But all in good time, when I get the money... I'm just happy for the minute, I'm sure the misery will start when I start taking things apart. :lol:

It's gonna look sick if I paint it back to original metallic blue color, or if I go with one of the paint schemes I've been thinking about. Either black with wide racing stripes, either red, orange, lime green, or gold... Possibly white but that's kind of common. Whatever, just a bright color that will really pop with a black primary color. Either that, or silver or gunmetal metallic with black stripes like my cousins Viper.
