Hello members. I have been restoring muscle cars for many years including 1st gen firebirds but now have my first 2nd gen and going to make a bandit clone. I also work at Eastwood Company and will be documenting resto through our web site and YouTube with videos. The little time I have been on this forum so far has been mind blowing- awesome content!

Mark, Welcome to TAC!

As mentioned, it's a great group of people who love cars, especially Firebirds. Some pretty skilled and knowledgeable members who are willing to share what they know. Since you work for Eastwood and have restored a Gen I FB, you probably have lots to share. Looks like you are well into your project, looking forward to hearing the story on this car.

Welcome  :D  About 2 years ago, we had a fatal crash and lost literally hundreds of pages of fully-documented builds, and various dedicated sub-forums.  It was a terrible loss, and we welcome any and all builds/info as we try to rebuild our car site here, even thougfh we now live in the Facebook era, where info is posted and then buried in one day.

Welcome to TAC, looks like a good project you have going on. I am only aware of Eastwood in Pottstown, not sure it there are others. Is that where you are? I am within an hours drive a bit south and I know of at least one other guy here that is a bit closer. Lots of your products helped in the restoration of my cars. Def. start a thread in the build section.
