Best Pontiac Powered Stockers

In doing some research, I recently ran across John Schloe's '69 Firebird. He's been racing it for quite a while, & it has run very strong, being near the top of many qualifying lists. He was #4 on this 2014 Q-list, with a 10.54, in D/SA.

It's the only '69 Bird Stocker I know of still in competition.

But, sometimes last year, I remember that Bruce Noland was supposed to have one ready for this season. And, IIRC, there was a possibility that he might eventually make it look like a T/A clone.

With all the problems the virus caused, I was wondering what the current status of that '69 Bird is. Is it ready to race ? Does it have the T/A trim ? What is now the expected debut race for it ?

Has anybody else here seen it, besides Bruce, who might give us a progress report ? If it's OK, would someone who has access please post some pics & provide all the info possible ?

Hey, again, I really don't wanna be nosey. BUT, this seems to me to be the perfect thread for info on a new '69 Bird Stocker.

As always, thanks for any & all pics & info !
