    Very good video, would even recommend it! However, it won't work for us, because we retired in a 30 motorhome in Idaho. Still, I managed to find an exceptionally clean 98 v6 Firebird, and dropped an ebay turbo in it. The idea was to build a modern version of the Rally Firebird. Meaning 18 inch redline, low profiles over 18 inch replicas of the chrome five spoke that came with so many Pontiacs in the 70's Total cost? 5500 so far, but the interior is still perfectly preserved!

    So in other words no you can't build your own Firehawk you might be able to build the body but you're not going to be able to put that motor and tranny in the car because that motor and tranny is outrageously expensive nice try though dude

    Super nice job I am guessing that is the slp exhaust on there? That brings back so many memories I had an 86 ta I did a rediculous engine with compucam and the slp exhaust back in high school it ran high 12 sec 1/4 my first time at the track in 96 now I have a 99ram air with a built ls1 that I am getting ready to take to the track this spring thank u for the video!

    • @budgetbuilds8522

      He started out at $5k. Listed the car as a firebird and couldn't get anyone to look at it. He couldn't get it to pass inspection and just wanted it gone. That was one of my best buys I have done. Haven't had one that good since.
