My 3rd gen project
She's coming along got her running and on new rims and tires. Next step is pulling out the crappy 2.8 and 5 speed, and getting a small block and a 6 speed.

V6 Firebird as a first car?
Would a V6 4th gen Firebird be a decent first car? I’ve loved the Firebird since first sight, and I really want one as my first car, but I’m worried it won’t be reliable enough as a daily driver. I’m still in the process of trying to convince my parents, and I’ve given multiple presentations to them that were filled with days of research on why I really think that it would be a great car, but I just want to hear it from people who actually own the car. I know that I would have to make sure to consistently take care of it, and I’m willing to do so. Keep in mind that I wouldn’t be learning in this car, but I would be buying once I get my license and practice for a bit.

455 Muffler Recommendations
Looking for muffler recommendations for my 74 with a 455. Had a cheap exhaust kit from Jegs (it’s terrible) and it came with some oem style looking mufflers and it was criminally quiet. The over axle pipes fit terrible and hated the mufflers so tonight mocked it up as a side exit just to hear it and it needs toned down a little. So looking for recs for something still loud but not drones so bad you don’t want to cruise on the highway.
Current set up is shorty headers with an x pipe.

Potentially Non-running Firebird as a first car?
I was at a friends house the other day, and one of his neighbors has a Pontiac Firebird with what I’m assuming is the WS6 package. I am currently trying to figure out what I want as my first car, and I’ve always loved the Pontiac brand, especially the Firebird. My friend said it hasn’t moved once since he moved in 6 years ago, so it’s been sitting for at least 6 years, maybe more. All of the tires are flat, but the paint still looks really good and it looks like they have tried at least a little bit to preserve it. What can I say to the owner without being awkward? I’m worried that it’s a sore subject (maybe it was a deceased parent’s), and the last thing I want is to make them uncomfortable. Also, is it even worth trying to buy this off the owner on the off chance that it is in a non-running condition, considering it would be my first car?

Local show…
Surprisingly picked up two awards today in a local show… second place in Pre-1990 vehicles, and first place in Top Muscle Car. Was really shocked… there were some nice cars in attendance!

ISO 93-97 License Plate Bracket
I’m looking for a 93-97 Firebird / Formula front license plate mounting bracket. I’ve got no way to affix my plate to the car and New York is a two plate state so I don’t need to accrue any fix it tickets once this thing is out of the shop. If anyone’s got a lead on one (or knows an aftermarket part that won’t force me to drill my bumper up), it would be most excellent.

93 Formula
It was in a bad need of a wash from sitting in the garage too long. Couldn't resist taking a pic after I was done. I've had this bird for 26 years and still makes me smile every time I look at it.
