at least you're not the kind of idiot that you cannot explain to that he's an idiot because he's an idiot. 😼👌 that Trans-Am needs to do a swissey cannonball run with all the nifty tunnels, sinewy mountains passes and cops chasing the participants straight to Süd Tyrol while eating good chocolate! 😉👍
That keyless remote is really cool! It would have been only a dream in the 80's LOL I have the same key machine I saw it in the background and I also have one of those "momo " wheels, though I never mounted it. The incredibly vague steering was just how they were normally, no matter the tires. I actually put larger "gatorback" tires from a vette on mine for a while, it made the steering worse😮. Good stuff!
Mario, somewhere there's a retired Pontiac engineer that would be displeased with you! The steering wheel nut is probably a ¾inch size lol. "We didn't use the goddamn metric system!" 19mm is basically the same size though. I wonder if you've come across any ¼inch head bolts during your interior work that aren't quite 7mm but 6mm won't fit? The 80s and 90s were a weird time for usa manufacturers. My friend's unmodified 95 jeep has metric bolts on the transmission (japanese) and parts of the body, and imperial bolts on the axles+drive line and engine and bits of the interior... what a machine!
glad to see another video out, Mario. I was just wondering about it. about the oily hands - I always use gloves when working on my cars, why don't you?
Bezel is 3D printed. The radio is not a full double din. It's actually a single din with a double din front. That way it takes up less space in the back and I only needed minor modifications to the pod.
Welcome to my life, where everything is hard and nothing ever works. 😑

Not even your watch? 😅
Thanks for the update, and the trial and tribulations of the Firebird
16:50 - Getting flashbacks to Donut Media's "Testing real vs counterfeit car parts" 😂

Can you tell me where you got the reproduction radio center console?
25:20 - Sreten some?

Because I always remember once I've already started and gotten my hands dirty. 😑
That's funny. Those Pioneer 3 ways look exactally like they did back in the 90s
I guess the market has shrunk so much since then that it's not profitable to produce new model.
How did you fit the double-DIN in there? Where did you get the bezel?

@@swisscarguy Very cool.

You are very lucky, I can't afford to buy cheap! 😊
