78 Pontiac Firebird Formula Trans Am Comes Alive...2010!

April 11th and the weather was right for firing up the Firebird! As usual, it had sat since Oct 2009, stored and hiding from old man winter! :(
I charged the battery overnight this time so I didnt have troubles like last year. Hooked everything up, checked the fluids, primed the carb bowls, turned the key and WOW, she came right to life like I had just parked it! i seriously couldn't believe it! Enjoy! :)

That is a really nice car. And did you paint it or is that factory?

@basketballboy081 Hey thanks a lot for the great comment! :) I actually painted it myself about 4 years ago. Ive done all the work myself actually except for the trans rebuild which I had professionally done. I never color sanded the car bcuz I was afraid to ruin the paint but I'm going to tackle it this year when the engine is back together as I am more confident now.
