Much as I like Knight Rider, I would like to see it just restored to original. Love the sound of that car. My feeling is the best way to honor her memory is to make look like it did when when she had it.

Yes the original red color
Those Firebird commercials from the 1980's are awesome!!! Takes me back to my childhood years. "We build excitement, Pontiac!". I so remember those commercials! When they went to fuel injection, the Trans Am GTA and Formula 350 were introduced. Those were some of the coolest cars on the road back then, especially if they had the manual transmission.
Man, the 80s was the best having fun 😊
The 3rd gen Camaro and firebird had an issue on the fuel pumps, there was a little rubber hose that would disintegrate over time. I bet that hose is bad. The tanks are a nightmare to pull so a lot of people cut access holes in the floor hump in the rear. That's how I did mine but I sealed it up good and you couldn't tell. I did one once where I dropped the tank and it was an 8-10 hour job. Absolute nightmare. Also, from what I can see that's the early TBI unit and not a Carburetor. And that sound sounds like the two injectors clacking. That's just from what I can see. I could be wrong, I definitely don't know everything but I've been a Camaro guy since I was born in 90 and had my 80 Z28 since 94. Keep spreading the word! Praise be to God!
Great channel,Praise Jesus,really enjoyed your show guys and at the end when you said you will close in prayer you really got my ATTENTION! I am blessed I found this channel, Jesus bless all of you,love you in Christ!

Mad props for your KITT knowledge. You get a like and subscription. Definitely make a Kitt replica. It's already auto
I was 22 year old when this car came out 😲👏🏿
I own a 1986 Firebird, there's no room for a true dual exhaust system with the torque arm in the tunnel. I have Hedman "Shorty" Headers, ceramic coated, with a Y pipe, test tube in lieu of the cat and single 3" stainless to a single inlet dual outlet 40 series Flowmaster. I dumped the 305 and installed a 30 over 350, 2 bolt main 10.5 to 1 forged pistons, 64 cc heads, Crane cam, Harlan Sharp Billet Roller Rocker arms. Mine is a T-Top with 5 speed, 3;73 Richmond gears. I bought mine in 87. I replaced my starter with a Power master Mini Torque due to the limited installation room, plus it handles higher compression. Good luck (P.S. I'm still fighting with my headlamp motor relays) The viewer who said the shocks were missing is probably accustomed to seeing a shock mounted in middle the lower control arm, these cars have front struts not shocks.
I completely like to see that a family like yours can work together and agree and disagree on certain things or issues that you come across in the line of work that you do.

I may be partial, but It's always nice to see a Firebird get revived, especially one with a good story attached!
It Is So Good Seeing You Both Here, God Bless You Both.. ☺️
This car was my apart of my childhood memory. I wish I had a chance just to drive one.
Great channel And awesome to see a family work together. Me and my dad worked together for years till he passed. Yall help bring back many great memories. Keep up the great work.

Enjoying your live as well as your produced/edited content. Yup, i watched this live from start to finish. With the lives it's like I'm there hanging out with y'all. Oh, and i very much enjoyed the VW Bug build. Y'all blew it off the charts with that build. Any hoot, great job, great video and keep em coming. Cause we sure do enjoy them
They sure don't make cars like they use to, back 25 years ago i remember having 5 firebirds just like this one in my fathers junkyard, paid 500 dollars for 1 . now they are worth 10 x as much restored. beautiful cars.
Loved the Herbie build, not only did it look great, it also sounded awesome. Never heard a bug sound so deep. Really cool with flashbacks to the original stuff car and the funny scenes recreated. Great job!! Sharing your page with my Dad who taught me how to drive in a 71 VW van and drove bugs for many years afterwards. Can't wait to see how the Firebird turns out.

I like the live stream because it shows the time and patience to work on old car. Had '84 Z28 and changed starter and also clutches.
Now you're what you call a good-hearted person giving back to somebody who gave you especially when they're in need and you know that that whatever you're doing for means a lot to him you're freaking awesome you and your dad keep up the good work God bless you have a blessed day
I love this episode because I also have a 1986 trans am, mine had the 350 with the tuned port fuel injection... I bought it in 1992 and I still have it to this very day... She needs a little TLC but it's all there and in decent shape for the year... Keep up the good work guys, love the channel

Me Too. I Got a Black Trans-am 1986 but some how its not fuel injection like the other 2.8L V6 Firebirds i own in the pass to my big surprise. its got a 305 V8 2 Barels Carb that acording to the gm dealer runing the vin number is original. great video thanks you. oh any one else notice the weels are camaro weels ? not firebird or trans am
We are proud of you guys. Youre amazing.
For some reason I couldn't get this show anymore I was sad love watching y'all. Y'all just popped back up and I happy now.
Amen on the prayer it’s nice to see people praying please keep that up Kelly from Connecticut.
If it has a tilt steering wheel, check the wiring harness at the bend of the column.
As a rule of thumb (at least on GM) there should be 1/8" clearance between the flexplate/flywheel teeth and the shaft the starter gear rides on. DORIS!

Up the hill from my house, when I was young 6 or 7 yrs. 1957, my friends Grandfather owned a Pontiac dealership. They were the first new cars for me, friends Mom drove a new Pontiac every yr. she was the receptionist, sat just inside front door of showroom. Yeah they were my favs. not happy when GM got rid of them. Firebird Formula was my fav. only ended up owning two Sunfires. Can't wait to see this one run again.
i love the commercials. as an 80's child the nostalgia is overwhelming. i wish i would have caught this on live stream for interactive coversation.
Thank you for your excellent content, God bless y’all

I like how you guys have som much knowledge on fixing old rides. And take pride on them . Love this Chanel ..
I'm injoying watching stuff like this you guys doing good job with that firebird god bless you all from the 🇬🇧 UK
Clicking noise on the carburetors a mixture control solenoid perfectly normal
I love the multi-window views,Awesome amazing job Christian!
I had a 1987 firebird just like this one! Loved it it was teal when I got it we later repainted it candy apple red.
I couldn't care less to have a perfect K.I.T.T replica. To me would be a dream just to own a perfect exemplar of a regular F-Body Firebird Trans Am. Obviously IMHO and with all due respect 🙏

If you have the new starter in that means the starter is fine because if you hear clicking that must be the carburetor acting up and the spark plugs are gone
A talking kit car would be cool. There is a guy makes the replica models of the KITT and it talks.

"ain't got much but it's got us". 🤣 That's right, and I'd be pretty happy to have you guys as neighbors if I was in a small town. Well done
It would be nice to get put back to it's original color even though I understand why they decided to go with the black with it. Knight Rider being one of the most popular shows of the times back then. One movie and one show later and Pontiac had a top seller. I always liked the red one.

Love you guys reminds me of my two sons and myself keep the faith and good work up
So cool to hear it start with no help. Really awesome.
I was 16 and 17 years old when the commercials come out And owned a Pontiac Bonneville 92
Bought my first vehicle in 86. A 1968 f100. How I'd love to have it still. Love your show thank you.
i like watching you guys getting cars back to life after 50 years.
Love you're guys content I've been watching your videos all day today keep up the good work
Another great live stream. God Bless you all see you on the next one👍✌️😎
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
I just did a starter replacement in a 94 GMC Sonoma, 2.2 litre. The hardest replacement I've ever done. There's a metal plate right behind the starter!
Wow what a Great way to spend Thursday evening thanks guys and God bless
That's a classic there good luck on getting it running again!
This is giving me some serious flash backs! My first car was an 86 Firebird. Mine, unfortunately, had the 2.8L V6 but was otherwise the same car. The same red originally, then some copper red color when I bought it in 1991 just before I graduated high school. Then I painted it.....can you guess what color? Yep, black! I at least had the formula firebird wheels on mine! Man, I wish I still had that ole girl! Thanks for sharing this one!
"There's that other piece...ah...dirt dobber." Classic Texas!
I like those 1980's Firebird ads, too! Pontiac really did build excitement!😁🔧🛠️
You guys are awesome people, thanks from Massachusetts
Even though these "live" video's aired a while ago. I am watching them now. Still fun to watch and i discovered this channel by VGG.
Love what you guys do God Bless you 🙏
ok, this did it for me. subscribed! I owned and 83 TA with a crate engine, and also a stock 82 with the 305... that one was really tired, but drove it all over anyway... both of them were real lookers
ive worked on lots of 2nd gen f-bodies maybe 20 3rd gen like this one. would love to work on cars again like you guys. keep the videos coming :)
I like the way you take care of your viewers with all these different camera angles
First car was 87 firebird. Was my older sisters. Man i enjoyed that thing. T tops. When i packed 4 friends in it hardly got out of its own way lol but good times, good times.
Shame about the paint it looked amazing in that brilliant red. Thanks for the great content as always. Cheers Pat 🇦🇺

I have an 86 black Firebird. It runs great and actually is my daily driver! Needs cosmetic work, like a paint job, new seats, carpet, dashboard, etc., but not bad considering how old it is. I get questions, comments and compliments on it all the time, because you rarely see them anywhere.
