| At the request of others, I wanted to post some pictures of my 98 Riv & my '70 Firebird. I was going to try just inserting the link to another site where I already had them posted. Let's see if that works....

| Hmmm... So I guess it doesn't actually display them. You would actually have to load them up to this www.servimg.com site then? I'll get a few together and do that I guess.

| OK, here is another picture of my Riv. I took this one next to an authentic old covered bridge in our town. ![New member, pictures of my rides... 7-06_c10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f18/11/45/65/77/7-06_c10.jpg) | |

| Here is how clean the motor looked the day I brought it home. The guy kept this thing absolutely spotless! ![New member, pictures of my rides... Clean_10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f18/11/45/65/77/clean_10.jpg) | |

| Very nice pair of rides. You don't see many Firebirds in that condition. What part of New England are you in? | |

| Very nice! I know pictures tend to hide issues, but I sure don't see much wrong with the Firebird. BTW, the cheapest and simplest Riv handling mod you can do is to add a Caddy STS strut tower brace. For around $30 and maybe 10-15 minutes of your time, you will see a very nice improvement in cornering stability. I'm sure Aaron has the write-up on here. | |

![wink](/users/3215/30/10/37/smiles/icon_win.gif) Well, I guess that's not really New England...I just thought covered bridges and fall trees had me thinking of Vermont. | |

| Thanks jimmyriv, I love that pair you have there. That 65 is sweet! ![bow](/users/3215/30/10/37/smiles/bow.gif) My Firebird is Sea Mist Green, but I'm thinking of painting it Buckaneer Red like my '73 Formula once was. I'm in Cedarbug, WI... A loooooooooong way from New England! But I did take my Riv out to Wash. DC last year for a road trip and it was awesome! I got 31 mpg! No, there are not a lot of clean 70-73 Firebirds left out there any more. I wanted to do a complete refresh of the motor and restore the body and interior to as close to original as possible. It is completely rust free as it was a AZ and S. Calif car all of its life. Just baked interior and very tired motor that finally spun a rod bearing... It was originally a turbo400 AT but I'm switching it over to a M21 Muncie 4spd as I am addicted to that feeling of shifting a 400+ hp V-8! ![twisted](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_twisted.gif) | |

| Man I hope you don't have the entire weight of your car resting on those cinder blocks, especially when you have them laying on their side like that. | |

No, I was alternating jack stands and blocking around if I remember right. They are definitely very weak when they are on their sides like that I would never go under there... Good thing to point out though! ![wink](/users/3215/30/10/37/smiles/icon_win.gif) | |

| Looks great. I think I remember seeing someone else on here with a picture at a bridge just like that. | |
