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.

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.

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.

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?

Beautiful Pontiac Beast! Pontiac Power Baby…..

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 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.

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.

Nice job Troy 👏

That Fire Bird looked even sexier in raw metal 💪

Amazing build especially the front end, I not a big fan of the wheel design but still looks awsome. GReat job by this garage 👏🏾

As a Redhead Scottish Viking! I love this Pontiac Green Viking!🔥💪😎

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

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
