Default Introducing myself

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am from Alabama, married with three boys. I am a firefighter/emt, hunt, fish, and hang out with my boys on my free time. I have an 09 Harley Davidson Fatboy that I love to ride. My Pontiac is a '79 Redbird, I'm new to the Firebird, Pontiac world, I was a serious Jeep enthusiast for about 15yrs before I bought my Harley. The Firebird is in good shape just needs some TLC, mostly interior parts and a coat of paint. I am excited about this car, my oldest son loves it and we enjoy working on it together.

Welcome to the forums. Post up a picture when you get a chance. Are you just now joining, or did you join a year ago? If you are just now joining, our calendar counter in the corner of your posts is off.

Either way, I'm sure you will find what you need here.

I actually joined a year ago, just getting in to working on the car now. Has some title issues. It's legal now and I'm driving it almost daily. Here is a pic.

Neat car,
I always kind of liked those special Espirits, Sky, Red, & Yellow Birds
I figure I could talk my wife into one someday so I'd have an excuse
to own one and not look as "girly" for owning it.
.....I guess that does not sound good huh?!?!

I never bothered introducing myself, I just figured the members here
would grow to be annoyed with me all on their own

Welcome to the Board!

Welcome to the board. There are quite a few B,ham members here. You need to bring your bird to the local cruise-ins when the weather warms up.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
