I have the same dilemma with my 67... I think they're going to have to be cut down to work.

Nice toy box by the way... :)

There is one 69 bird on here that is completely over the top... it's two tone as I recall. I'll see if I can find it, cause you'll want to check it out. That one that Prodigy did was outrageous as well.

ya thanks man ive got plenty of irons in the fire right now.. im still 19 and this is begining to be a huge hobby/part time job that makes me some SERIOUS $$


cool. what are you plans?

i just ordered the patch panel for the passenger side rear quarter. i am getting it painted next month huggar orange, i want to do some kind of a stripe package or some kind of accent color but i really dont know what is out there or been done before. i guess i am going to go with the camaro style rear spoiler. i have the lower spoiler for the front as well. i am going to shave the antenna hole, mostly new chrome, install the front disc brakes, get the straight 6 running good(i got it to idle the other day btw sat in the driveway running for a good 30 minutes), and i have a guy that is trading me his 400/th350 that did 330 hp to the wheels for my 455/th400 combo. so that should be pretty nice, i can set that down in there and then im goign to sell it and hopefully make good money. im hopeing between 15-20K depending on how good it comes out after paint.

plans on the 95 are; new head gaskets, intake gaskets, possibly new cam, repaint the front bumper, polish the wheels, clean it up and hopefully sell it for around $8500

plans for the 67 are probably just slow steady work on it. the guy is coming over this week to shim the front end and make it all fit flush and smooth the firewall then i am going to paint all the interior and dynamat everything then assemble the interior and throw a carb motor in it just to get it on the road. i am plumbing the brake system this week also. -8 from the tank to the motor and a -6 as a return line, and im going to stick a new holley blue on it and regulator and set it up for nitrous, then as soon as i get a full time job im going to put a modded ls based motor and a 6-speed in it. other than that i really dont know what i am going to do with the car. i want to do a trick polished twin turbo setup.

btw thanks for the compliments guys, any pictures of 69 firebirds or links to websites would help me a ton!
