It's a sweet build and I'm seldomly negative, but that front grille killed the soul of the Firebird. I'm looking at everything but the front end with envy.
It's not your car, or your money, or your time, or your decision.
You are not and will never build a car that is even close to this so what you feel it needs is irrelevant.
When I watch a movie I don't say, " you should have cast this person or you should have shot the movie in this country instead.
I enjoy things for what they are.
@@baibureh8816 You missed the part where I'm looking at the other 90% of the car with envy. Thanks for participating.
@@baibureh8816 Wow you really told him, didn't you? 🤡
I agree, I don't care for the front end either, I don't see "firebird" there. like Shaun talks about not losing the car in the build, But the rest of the build is incredible.
And, it's not my car so it doesn't matter what I think.

You coulda saved a lot of time typing and simply wrote:
“Hi, I’m BaiButtHurt…….and my specialty is trying to be a trolling asshole on social media”
Warms the cockles of my heart that it has a Pontiac engine
The sheer amount of custom fab on the body, let alone the interior and powertrain on this one is.... masterclass. The attention to detail and respect for the car and it's existing personality is top shelf.
They are one of the best in the business imo
Doesn’t matter if it all looks like dog shit soup
Your production choices music etc are just frickin killing it!!
😎👍 this channel rocks it with no BS
Thank you! Proud of the work my team is doing here
Shaun, it's great to see this new shop. BBT Fab do incredible work. I was one of those guy's who use to buy just about every hot rod magazine that hit the
newspaper stands. Nowadays since all of the rod magazines have vanished it's hard to see who's building the new street rods and selling the hottest parts etc.
Does anyone sell any worthwhile magazines anymore?
Thanks for doing the build cost. Love how you broke the ice with “Hours.” Brilliant!
lol! Love talking $$ when they allow us so people can get a glimpse into the hours and overall cost of builds like this
I love and appreciate all the hours of work and modifications done to this car. Kudos to them for putting back the heart of a Pontiac, back under the hood.
The front end lost it for me tho.😢 What distinguish the firebird from a Camaro is the pointed frontend and four round headlights.
To the average car enthusiasts, this looks like a heavily modified first gen Camaro.
But at the end of the day the owner and builder like what they liked.
That square Silverado you are driving is perfect.
It is a dream truck. LT4, 8 spd auto, RS chassis of course…perfection
Love how the headrests are built onto the roll cage, very neat design!
Front end is bunk as hell. Everything else rocks.
Also, remove the lift kit.
Man the speed that thing is capable of even though it’s all metal top to bottom. Insane! I swear every quarter I’m more and more amazed of the amazing shops out there and what they can produce
Sean mentions the uncontrollable smile. I remember my dad knowing I was a through and through gearhead as a kid for just that reason. Told me to start saving those pennies, it's one expensive smile to get in a league like this!
Definitely an expensive smile…sure glad I get to ride in and often times drives these works of art! Can’t stop the smiles
@@AutotopiaLA What a dream come true.
Awesome Sean! Enjoy your stuff every time.
Sean says the same 15 things about every single car on the channel. “Man this is bitchin” “it’s the cleanest I’ve over seen” “man the amount of time” blah blah blah… he doesn’t know shit about cars, other than he likes to get laid talking about them.
@@thosebrosgarage i mean I dont try to come up with a different descriptor every time i like something. 99% of the time i just say "that's wicked cool" or something. And if you'd actually pay attention, he knows a lot about cars.
DassDope! I'm a Pontiac fan! Who is currently building a 68 firebird I love seeing a Pontiac in a Pontiac.
Awesome!
World Class work done here.....and an endless list of one off steps done to make this car what it is......and what a fine job!
They are doing amazing work at BBT
This car is simply AMAZING.
I love the growth Shawn, I've been keeping up with you on u tube since you started in 2019.
Wow! Thanks for being here that long and for the compliment. We keep pushing to get better all the time
I love that front! Finally someone who went further out of the box than usual!
Same for me. Lots of controversy on the front but I think it’s stunning
@@AutotopiaLA You have to admire people that are willing to not give a hoot about design. Just like the Ring Bros. pulling a Chevy engine in a mustang. It's about passion for me, and not loyalty. It's beautiful car. Build from passion, and not standard. And that in my eyes, is respect for a vehicle and not "standard". That front. If you're not scared of it, you don't know your cars! B.E.A. Car all the way!
Man that thing is so bad ass. I love the color. And the engine is a beast. The whole build is amazing. Great job again Shawn.
Thanks and they definitely nailed it on this
That powerplant is a drop dead gorgeous gem. It's definitely got Viking DNA and planting that power down like a Norse Warrior.
It’s a serious build and that it’s been over 200 is awesome!
This reminds me of a concept car. You will definitely NOT see another one! Great build. The 59 Impala is WILD!
That 59 is really beautiful
@@AutotopiaLA .........G'day, my father's youngest brother had a black 59 Impala. I got to wash and polish it, felt like ten acres. Cheers and God bless, Malcolm.
Badass car but the original headlights looked way better.
Yes I was thinking the same round with the rounded square bezels
I love and appreciate the hours of work put into this car, but it lost its firebird look to me.
Looks like a heavily modified first gen Camaro.
I'm with you on that one.
waaaaaaay
That car is freakin insane!!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
No doubt
Car is incredible, I like everything including the front end.
Quite obviously your team have employed a different individual to do your filming ,the shots are just beautiful i mean its spot on ,this type of vehicle deserves to be fimed in such a proffesional manner and in just the most perfect of locations ,to whomever is in charge of this shot i tip my hat sir ,outstanding work as for the Firebird ..........another Troy would be proud of this one ,im sure he would agree with me thats its a RAD RIDE
That front end is sick! Very GTO Judge looking, in a very good and menacing way 👍
Opening music was great by the way, spot on 👍!
so much talent and imagination and lots of work ,amazing
Love the mid West series. Heavy hitters!!
Some of the best in the biz
Low and lot of GO…..love it
Such a badass beautiful build
Right off the bat, the way the car sits.....it just amazing that caught my eye......and it is tough going past that , there is so much more to see
Beautiful ol'skool, it almost looks like a Camero & a Cudà, had car relation's and had baby ,from the front of the car.. like a Cudàmerò, mixed with a lil Firebird.. but still a beautiful car.. with a nice tab.. amazing art, & craft workmanship..
So many absolutely stunning details on this amazing build! This thing is ART!
This ride is Sick…
To own this car you have be a full time Vampire Slayer
As a Redhead Scottish Viking! I love this Pontiac Green Viking!🔥💪😎
This firebird is straight fire!!!!!
That Fire Bird looked even sexier in raw metal 💪
That color is stunning! Beautiful build.
This firebird is perfect. I cannot think of a better word to describe it other than a big fat WOW!!! 😱. Just amazing!
Beautiful ride, the stance is on point. Engine bay is a work of art.
You guys put on a great program! One of the best I've seen!
WOW what an awesome episode!!!
Nice build. Clean and modern. Good work.
Another rad ride, loving the MRT...
I really like how you explained how many hours go in to it along with cost
And to then go into the countless details incorporated
Really helps to give people a solid understanding of what goes into a built
Sometimes people don’t want to talk dollars but when we can I like to give folks an idea of what it plays out like on this level of build
That was a kick ass poncho firebird I couldn't tell what kind of Pontiac it was when I first seen it it was totally different the nose and the rear end of it I couldn't tell except for the sidelines of the car. And I glad to see someone kept the poncho motor from Butler
Butler performance 482. Think that's what Big Chief runs in his car. Little bit more than 1400hp though. This car is nuts!
Definitely a wild build
I owned an '81 golden Firebird that I drove from Toronto to Edmonton on the Trans Canada Highway in 2007. The fun I had in that car! Was a 2nd gen F body fan since I was a kid.
Thats a one of a kind! Young craftsman building a dreamvehicle- awsome
Love your show, keep them coming!!!👏👏👏
That’s an amazing car, not sold on the looks of the nose but I understand why they did it that way for the air intakes. I think it would definitely grow on me. Not that my opinion matters. It’s awesome to see it be driven like it should which definitely means a lot. As afar as the rear end gears, that’s an easy swap to make it a great street car with a 3.73 or something
Super easy gear swap. Currently still set up for longer high speed runs. Stellar build
The car speaks for itself. That sound is amazing!
Great build! Looks more like a 69 Camaro now. Never did like the firebird beak. This car is perfect.
Amazing build especially the front end, I not a big fan of the wheel design but still looks awsome. GReat job by this garage 👏🏾
The car you guys drove before the firebird, I know its supposed to got to paint but I honestly like the bare metal look on it.
terribly MAJESTIC ART!
WOOOOSH!!!!!
I have no words, what a build, damn so many details, the engine bay wow, one of a kind 🙌
What a fantastic build! The engine bay, interior and trunk finishes show how much work went into the design and fabrication. Oh, and finally some performance figures, so the rest of us can have and idea of how those 1000 whp drives. If memory serves a stock C6 ZR1 Corvette goes about 180 mph on the standing mile just to compare.
I'll be watching this episode over and over and over and over and over.....
Awesome!! They do amazing work
The Front End Reminds Me of a GTO of that Era! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌴🌴🌴
The metal work they did is out of this world. And the springs ans c02 for the turbos is mind blowing. For my Chevy pickup the first thing in bought was a volley dominator so I could have reaction control. The owner of this Pontiac i hope he knows how lucky he is
I think the owner loves what BBT built him
Awesome series, next level car! Love the way it sounds so mechanical on the road.
Thanks and definitely a badass build
Awesome Troy builds some fantastic rides Built with serious purpose ❤😁✌️🤙
Totally agree. BBT is a top quality shop
What a beauty!! And amazing filming 🤙
Sure is a stunner and thanks for the compliments on my teams work
Butler performance Pontiac engine takes this to a whole other level. Damn!
Gotta love that part of this build
Cars a work of art.
Awesome build. That engine bay just knocks it out of the park
Flawless build!!
What a fun series !
Thank you. We had a blast out there
Totally Cutum !
lol…and we fixed it
Its a work of art!
It came a long way, baby🤙
Love my shirt! That firebird is an amazing work of art!
Great Build ! BBT FAB ❤ IT.
Tough looking Vehicle,Love the wheels.
What a nice Fontaic Pirebird. Hats down.
I'm straight digging that color!
Me too!
What a car! Love this channel.
Thank you and definitely a work of art
Great build! That truck is totally you Sean! Like the Fall guy series! Lol
I want that truck so badly! What a perfect ride
That interior and engine bay is a work of art. Not sure if I like thee headlights but what an Indian 👌👌👌
Beautiful color
If you go Pontiac, you have to go Butler for sure.
Great build from A to Z. Greetings
Love it !!!
Me too!!
Looks like a Camaro with a kit or something you would make on midnight club. Took away what makes a firebird a firebird. Should’ve kept the front grill and back lights
Stunning car ❤
1 million in body work is crazy
10K hours in total labor not just body work
THAT is exactly what I would build! Awesome f#%kin car man! I have a Ventura that I’m building. Butler is definitely gonna be involved. Wish I could afford the Roadster Shop.
Yep totally kills it for me...
Things gorgeous
goodness gracious
Magnificent 🥰👍🏾
Over the top!
All the way
Very nice car!
Definitely
Amazing
Badass ride right there , funky head lights or not it’s just awesome, id love to go 200 mph in a car, I’ve been 147 mph on a ninja 1000 bike but I’m betting 200 in this car feels as safe as 100 👍🏼
I’ve never been 200 either. 187 is close but haven’t seen 200 yet
@@AutotopiaLA only reason I let off the throttle was cause my T shirt was acting like a parachute trying to pull me off the back of the bike, and if I hadn’t looked down and saw the speedo reading 147 mph I would’ve bet anything I was running about 80 mph, it was at night to but when I saw that I said to myself woooweee I gotta get me 1 of these 😂
Unbelievable!
come on dude rev that baby up, love the sound
Pontiac as a company needs to come back, they had some very iconic model designs. We also need more competition to lower prices and force other companies to offer more for less.
Even if don t like 100% the design, you gotta love all the perfect details of the car, all the machined parts, the devil s in the details or 1 million
They don’t miss on the details
@@AutotopiaLA they shore don t, Hope one day I ll make my concepts as good as your cars on the channel!
A-mazing Build!!! So now there's 2 Troys in Illinois huh? Just competing with the Ring Brothers pretty much says it all. 👍😎👍
Two Troy’s about an hour away from each other…Midwest has some of the best builders in the world
