Good eye, Firebird600. That is indeed a T/A; in fact, I believe it's a WS6. Sadly, it's not mine. The one in the foreground- the bombed-out depleted one- is mine. Both cars used to belong to a buddy of mine, who sold both of them. I got the '79, another friend of mine has the other.
I'm planning on a restification of sorts but on a budget. I already yanked the 403 and trans and was going to rebuild the 403...until I discovered that it was so rusted I couldn't even pull the heads off of it. Or the intake. Or anything else for that matter. Since it's not a numbers matching Bandit car or anything more than a smog-restricted, horsepower choked standard T/A, I'm going to have fun with it. I've got a bunch of stuff left over from my high school/college Camaro days that I plan to pass on to this one, and I'm going to build a Chevy stroker for it. Basically, it'll be a cruiser with a little bit of show and a little more go. No trailer queen or biannually driven garage queen; when the weather's decent enough, I plan on driving it.
I am located in Wantage, NJ (Just north of Sussex Boro). Just bought a house here, and my ride is still down in Piscataway. I plan to have it hauled up here soon so that I can tear it down and get the build going. First order of business will be new floor pans; I currently have Fred Flintstone brakes. Already have the pans from Year One, just have to get the car up here and weld them in.
Got some pictures stored, so as soon as I explore this forum a little more and figure out how to post the pics, I'll get them posted for your disapproval
