Watsup guys Im kinda new and I just got my first firebird. First I would like to say Im all about restoring it to its original glory. However, that being said I would also like to add that before I restore it I would enjoy trying to make a 4x4 out of it. I have already seen this done to both a 1968 firebird and 1981 formula firebird. I have yet to see this done with firebirds of the 98-02 years and I am curious if it is possible for this to be done to a 1998 pontiac formula firebird. Just wanted to make sure it could be done before I got in to anything.

 

If you have to ask you probably cant do it.

 

i agree

 

Remove body panels from Firebird, Remove drivetrain.

Build custom tube frame.

Mount body panels and drivetrain on tube frame ^_^

 

cut every piece of suspension off the firebird and mount the body on a 4x4 blazer frame. How you get everything to work is up to you. anything can be done with the right tools and imagination. i would imagine a 4x4 truck ls series engine and tranny/transfer case would need to be used. custom driveshafts would be needed as well.

 

4X4 F-body= GAY....

 

exactly, why would you want to?

 

why would you do this........#1. #2. why would you do this BEFORE restoring it. if youre making it into a 4x4, im sure youll be wheeling it......which will probably beat the **** out of the body, and im sure interior. #3. you would have to change SO much of the original car, itd be easier to buy a second 98 fbody and restore that to 'its former glory'.

 

well what about making it AWD... faster with awesome tracktion???

 

please dont do that to an fbody.

 

I remember seeing a `77 Bandit T/A that was made into a 4X4 once
Definetly looked Hillbilly

 

search through this thread long enough and I bet you will find a lifted 4th gen.

OMG!!! That is SOOOOOOO ugly!

 

She might look better nekkid!

 

Haha, the car! Oh, she is too!

 

why in the hell would you do that to a formula? If you want to hack **** up, use a V6 car.

 

Exactly. I don't have a problem with making a 4X4 F-body. It would be good for laughs if you had the time and money to do it. No need to hack up a nice F-body tho.

 

theres 76 model done up real nice in my area

 

i have seen a pic of a black or red formula once, but cant remember the link to it. in my opinion, that is just plian wrong thing to do.
