Original all the way

Resto all day

Both are awesome. We will take both. His and hers. 👍

Ill take which ever one you're willing to let go!!!!

I would switch the steering wheels between the two cars

They are very nice cars...but I would roll with the stock original appearing car...nice job on the project... enjoy the miles of smiles when cruising around....thanks...🔧🔧👍

restomod by far.

love them both

What ac compressor did you use to get in stock ls location?

If you're doing as trans am clone you have to do the 400.

Where's the test drive?! We need to experience these cars through you lol.

That’s a tough choice! Only answer is both.

There's no wrong answer here. Both look awesome. Congradulations on another beautiful car build.

Resto, the modern reliability.

Give me the LS for a daily driver!

Both fantastic cars. Congratulations, Jon. Finished product looks great!

Did all the first gen cars have power steering coolers??? I don't remember seeing that before.

They are both AWESOME cars!

both are extremely nice, quality work! kinda sad neither is a 4-speed though! but remains incredible builds...

Me? I like the restomod. I have a 67 I'd love to do but I just don't have the $$, so I'm doing things a few pieces at a time and drive it when I can.

I would have to drive each one for at least a year to make up my mind!

Factory style.

Turned out great! I would have agree LS platform is easier to get parts. That's why the GT-37 is getting a L92 aluminum 6.2L. Still love the Poncho engine though.

Anything restored by you.

Unbelievable what you did to that car in around a years time! Congratulations Jon, you are inspiring! To answer your question, I’d definitely take either of em, but I would probaly lean towards the 400 car. I just have a love for carburetors!

Can I have the restomod, but with the poncho engine?!

Where did you souce the stacked gauges?

GREAT job! Beautiful work!

OEM all day everyday!

Great job John and an amazing timeline for "part time" !

400 hands down. Love that rumble

I just inherited a 69 all original recently. Can't wait to start getting time to work on it

I'll take the white one with the blue stripes. 😁

Poncho all the way, but as a begger I am not choosy either would do😂😂😂😂

Cool dude and girl.

Another great video Jon! Shouldn’t have any problem selling the homestead, it is a UA-cam legendary location.

Hello, regarding the generator gauge connection! Why not connect directly to the battery fuse box?

Great job showing all this, looks like a whole heck of a lot of work. How well does that 3M 90 compare to Weldwood adhesive? It looks like it works pretty well. I have a 64 tempest convertible that has the same wrinkles in the sail panels, I don't recall who made the top on that one, My 68 FB convertible is a Robbins top. Not much of any wrinkles in that thing. Also a PITA to latch the material has zero give . Makes me wonder if the wrinkles are more to do with the top provider then the installation.

The car looks fabulous. It’s going to be a joy to drive

Perfect Jon, I have the vintage air for the GTO. I’ll look at your method for the install

I decided I'm frightened vs. inspired, so I found a local shop with Tops in their name, and a Vinyl top, with plastic window is $1,900 and zip out window is $2,100 cables extra. Cloth top with plastic window is $2,400 with zip out glass $2,700. They've done 10 first gen firebirds and camaros this year.

Al Knocke has videos on how to install tops. The key to getting them taught is to secure the rear and quarter first then drape the top over the front header bow. pull it tight and mark on the top with a dark crayon, across the front edge of the header. When you are ready to staple the front on , lift the header 90 degrees up, pull the top 3/8" over the header from the crayon mark and staple.

Another great video with lots of helpful tips. I really appreciate the knowledge sharing. Any particular reason you went with Kee? And will you use them again on the 68 conv you have on deck?

This was a amazing year to see those birds fly back in the day too

Mockingbird turned out to be one amazing firebird!! Convertible top looks to be difficult, but this video is very informative so thank you for taking the time to go into the detail that you did. I’ve been hoping you’d do a video on this because I’ll be installing one in the future. Car turned out fantastic, I’m sure the owner will be extremely happy with it!! Can’t wait to see you start on a 68 convertible!! Thanks again for doing these videos.

Glad to see you are back! I was missing your videos! Nice work as always! This one looked like a tough one! Did you get any videos of the front bumber assembly?

💪😎

That a lot of work and you did a great job. Really enjoyed watching the process and learning what it takes to install a top. Thank for taking the time to make this video.

Since you made a Trans Am, which differential ratio are you using and how do you like it? Does this car have a Ram Air cam?

What were the exact tools used? Just got into a similar pickle 😂
