HyperSilence.net exists so that you can find and download, for free, the open source PHP scripts I've coded. It's also somewhat of a personal site because you can view pictures of my 1972 Firebird and my 1979 Trans Am. The site was first online June 23, 2005, created with the help of Notepad++ and Adobe Photoshop. This is the fifth layout. There are thirteen PHP scripts.

My 1972 Firebird

Last updated February 7, 2008

A progress check can be found further down on this page.

This is my 1972 Pontiac Firebird with a recently rebuilt (around 9,000 miles on it; the car itself has an incredible 263,000+ miles on it) 5.7L Pontiac V8 engine, automatic transmission, dual exhaust, power steering/brakes, a very clean saddle brown & beige interior/gold exterior and 15" Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires/gold snowflake rims. I went with the snowflake rims from a late 1970s Trans Am instead of the stock 1972 Firebird honeycomb rims because they match the car a lot better. Not to mention they're a lot easier to find. The car got a new paint job on May 12, 2006.

As you can see, the car is in excellent condition, with virtually no rust or cancer on its body and an immaculate interior. The car both looks and runs like it's brand new. 1972 is a very rare year for a Firebird because Pontiac went on strike for 174 days that year, considering almost dropping the entire Firebird line. A list of the 1972 production numbers can be viewed at the bottom of this page.

If anyone out there has seen the TV show "The Rockford Files" which was on in the 1970s, you'll notice it looks relatively similar to Jim Rockford's gold 1974 Pontiac Firebird. (I didn't do the cutting job on that picture. That's how it was found.)
