I was fortunate to meet George and talk to him over the years at the Nationals.
He certainly will be missed by the Trans Am community, and everyone that knew him.
Condolences to his family. Rest well, George.

Ya, I know. But what are friends for, besides peer pressure?

Sorry to hear. I use to speak with George on somewhat regular bases and I am glad he made the Nats one last time. He will be missed and I know he'll be driving his red, white and blue cars in heaven.

Front and rear PTFB GT suspension (springs), new gas tank and sender, new lower arms and new tubular upper arms with the longer PTFB ball joints. Koni shocks all around.  PTFB aluminum solid body bushings.  Alignment and shims this morning.  Trying to ready it up for FirebirdFest 4 in a week.  Still have a few things I want to do to it before the trip.

Did you just replace the sender with a stock unit?  Do you have any needle fluctuations as you drive?  Mine seems to move about 1/4 tank back and forth as I drive.

I got home from 4 days of driving (FirebirdFest is a blast- I highly recommend it if anyone is interested in a show where you DON'T sit by your car all weekend, but actually take it on daily drives) and can give a report.  Yes, I bought a stock gas tank and sender from Firebird Central.  The gauge doesn't bounce around.  I checked mileage every time I fueled up (averaging almost 15 on road and town combined.  I decided to really test it on our way home yesterday.  I usually fill up at 1/4 tank.  Always have with all my cars, and did so this whole trip.  It would take right around 15 gallons, which is right for a  +/- 21 gallon tank.  On the way home, I ran it until the needle was thisclose to the uh-oh mark  :lol:  19 gallons later, it was full.  So yes, it is (so far) accurate at any level and doesn't float around.


Thank you for the info!!!

Sorry to hear, I drove up to his place some years ago and hung out with him for a few hours. He'll be missed.

Thanks Luke, I am leaning more towards getting the connectors. IF nothing else just because. My black car isnt  bad and Im not putting out more than 400hp AND I dont race or even drive crazy. Overall it feels pretty solid. But I have been thinking about them for years and right now is the easiest time to install them on the 79. Just another expense :shock: and more time :shock: :shock:
I really do want to get this car finished sooner than later, I promise.

I thought  I posted this already buy
..

If I had to do it again, I would definitely install the PTFB subframe connectors and solid body mounts. They really stiffed up my car.  I would really be interested to see what the ride would be like if I didn't have the GT, Hotkis springs and low pro tires. I think it would be great. (The low pro tires and tighter suspension doesn't soak up the rough roads in my area). Is it bad, no, just a tiny bit rougher but still a pretty great ride.

So sorry to hear this. I enjoy his stories on here. I never met him or saw his cars but I heard a lot about them pictures from the Nats.

May he be cruising the TA forever! Rest in piece Sarg.
