That would make a cool coffee table. I even bought round glass, so I can make some of those. You know, they sell yellow paint pens, so you can redo the white lettering on tires. George

How long would that last on everyday driving. Tire coffee table, LOL. I got a silver T/A dash bezel hanging on my wall, and I know a guy who has a 69 corvette L-88 hood hanging on his wall. Car parts house decorations seem to be getting popular, ;D

Ha! You need to search this website. I have a couple of Trans Am items that I'm working on. A whaletail rear spoiler bar, and a rear end of a Trans Am into a love seat. They are posted here somewhere. I think in the general section. Getting back to the Macho TA. H.O. Racing had a '77-'78 Macho Trans Am just like this one, only they turbocharged it! It was at the SEMA show way back when too, and shown in their catalog off parts. Probably a collector's item now (the catalog). George

Turbo charged, nice. I just saw a 79 macho T/A when I went to a car show acouple weeks ago. It was nice, hard-top, red with silver decals, 400 c.i. black interior. There was about 500 cars at this show I was at , but only 3 late 2nd gen's. A 77, 78, and the 79 macho. There was about another 4 or 5 T/A's, but they were 67's, 68's, and 69's. Still very nice.

That was the worst part. The time of day it was when I finally got to the firebirds was late afternoon and the sun was startin to go down. I tried so many angles on every T/A and the stupid sun glare ruined every T/A photo I tried takeing. The macho wasn't actually in the show, I saw it cruising down the road. Here's a short vid of acouple cars driving off. It was a board walk classic and at the end of the weekend they drive off the board walk, so I get a hotel at the end of the board walk to hear some of the cars. There's only a small amount of video for 2 reasons, there's about 5 off ramps, and my memory card was full. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkUrpf1Lgb4

Nice video! I like that ragtop Lincoln. I have a hardtop 4 door. I need to get so many videos onto youtube, but don't quite know how to do it. I'm still learning the new DVDplayer/recorder/lightscribe we just had installed. George

Thnx. I had NO idea how to do vids on youtube for about 2 years. But one day I just winged it and got them on. Now it's pretty easy for me. If you want I could send you directions how to do it?

Yes! ;D I have a ton of Firebird videos that I am in, or took. I have a lot of VHS video that I transfered over to DVD. Each has a couple of hours of video on them, but I want to just pull off about 5 minutes or so, and do quite a few of them. Not sure if I can do that or not. Or, if I have to transfer to another DVD 5 minutes worth of video, to transfer to youtube. So, any info would be great! You can even email me at: WarbirdTA at hotmail.com BTW, I saw your vido on knifes. You can post that on the hobbies section here on the site. Thanks! George

You tube let's you have 10 min each video. First you have to load the video's onto your computer. After they are on your computer you can edit them down to the segments you want. I will send you an e-mail with the directions for youtube.
I didn't even think to post that vid. I'll get that up. Did you like how I put Not used on peole like three times on the page, LOL Just because I knew there would be someone out there to watch the vid and start something about what I said.

Ya, I saw that! People crack me up. You always get someone (or more than one) slamming someone's car, even though their's is a pile of crap. That's why I get so mad on websites. This is a Trans Am/Firebird website. I will not allow anyone to slam someone's car here. I may not do something to my car, that someone else did, but that doesn't mean I should say something bad about it. And vice versa. Now, I may allow slamming on other namebrand cars. ;D But no way on a Bird. Thanks for the info you posted above, and in the email. I hope to get something up within a week or so. At least my fingers are crossed. ;D George
