Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
Rick
The basis of thought for an engineering trip started with Bill Knafel's story. The "memo" was the second reason, via the way early SD cars were handled as I have read in Pete M's book. Since there is a lack of access to whatever records there may have been at GM about cars that got such a special trip, I've found it more interesting to crunch some numbers on the RAV motors. I would like to hear more about your Bird, can you share?

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
Steved,
The car was in Aug 99 High Performance Pontiac & Mar 95 of Pontiac Enthusiast. If you do a search on this site in the General Discusion form and search all for time frame it was talked about. Type Fitch Firebird for search words. Basically Pontiac gave road racer John Fitch my car and one other to play with. The car looks like a big AMX from the side. He made quite a few mods. If you an't find the previous posts from this site let me know. Rick

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
I looked for both issues, either I used them to start a fire or I never had them. I found Aug for every year but 99 and 00. Hmm.
Is the build sheet you found a public thing? While looking back through, I've noticed Tom has been talked about in several of the old magazines. Via his RAV projects.

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
The build/broadcast sheet is what is sometimes found in the car when you take them apart. Vette guys call them tank sheets because on a Vette there commonly found between the gas tank & trunk floor.
The sheets were left behind from the assembly line workers it tells them which parts to put on the car such as shocks, guages, springs and special intructions etc. In the Firebirds I've found them under carpets, in the springs of the seats and also behind door panels. The Billing history I got from PHS. I'm going to try to attach part of the 1st page of the HPP article.

Re: 70 Judge RAIV and V continuation
Oh yeah I think I remember seeing this car before, very interesting. Does it have any go fast goodies under the hood?
What I meant by public, is are you willing to share the build sheet? There is nothing sweeter than finding one on a car!!!
