Updates:
10-05-2006: So all the pics of the engine bay repainting are up! Got them and all the links sorted out and just got done rearranging the pics since Cardomain got the right and left orientation problem fixed!

Hey sweet FIREBIRD! I like how you cleaned it up and relocated everything. If you see any cheap one's for sale you should send me a message. I'm looking for one to redue. If you get a chance look at my jimmy i rebuilt. Later
