    That's a small block Chebby. You can tell by squared off rocker covers and the exhaust manifolds.

    "Now who wouldn't want this car in their life?" Your words my friend! SO PLEASE finish this project! Please! Just selling it off is not the way to go. This will be an EPIC build and will take you to another level of..... Well... CAR GUY! LOL. And it might just take your channel much higher as people slowly start watching this cool build. In your next video put an awesome thumb of that hood or just the car itself! That's how subbs come. It takes a little while and some tenacity to get the ball rolling but this is the car and build that could do it! I LOVE this car (If you couldn't tell LOL). Thanks for the great content!

    My 1st husband found a maroon '78 Trans-AM. I had to put a cushion on the seat to be able to see the front end while driving. She was a great car!! Brings back memories.
    Nice work James. She looks great just the way she is. ❤😊❤

    I love the car. I’d paint the outline of the firebird on the hood to make it pop. Love the work you did. A awesome engine in it tires snd rims. Updated interior. Anyone would want it. It looks bad ass now

    This thing is easily worth 8-10,000.00 to the right person the way it sits back here in Ontario. Awesome job. Makes me want to find a patena project in my future. Right now finishing my dad’s 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible. Then my 1966 Dodge Monaco Convertible. After both are done I think it’s time for a Patena project.Always wanted to do one. Thanks for the push in that direction.

    81's always had the least rust. I've owned 15 77-81 T/A's all over 25 years ago. The 81's were in a different league and i had 4 Y84 81's 2 were 301 automatic 2 were 305 4 speed. All were my personal cars. I re-did 7 of them. Body and Paint and some the whole drive train. I bought an 81 Y84 301 car from the original owner in 93 for $800 and the a/c stilled worked like new. No one believed i paid that low for it. I got lucky and it was straight with no rust but the paint was on its way out. I think i'm gonna get another one soon.
