Been thinking of joining a club for a while now. I've owned my '68 firebird now since '92, which was a daily driver until someone tried to burn it in '96. It was then I decided to restore the car properly, but not until I could devote some serious time and money. As such, the ball started rolling slowly in 2003/4 when the 455 engine was pulled out of the car and completely rebuilt.That was it until Dec 09, when I finally was able to strip the car and start the restoration(subframe removed).
Body work took 20 months, new floor, new quarter panels, both sills replaced, new R/H front guard as well as all the custom work(another chapter on its own). I finally painted the car in Dec 11, and then it was finally time for assembly. First up, fit engine and build a set of custom pipes. Then it was rewire time as 1/2 the wiring was destroyed in the fire. A complete American Autowire kit was fitted along with a new Dakota Digital dash. Because of the smoke damage, EVERY interior component was replaced and the seats recovered with cloth inserts. The center section of the dash was changed, so I made a console to house the new DVD/radio. Aug '12 and the car is finally ready for rego.
