Noob: Massachusetts: 1967 Firebird

[Buryingthesun]

Here is what I play with now that I dont like Honda's all too much anymore. . . 1967 Firebird 326, all original 32,000 miles (Haters gonna Hate) More updates to come as the restoration continues
I plan on doing a stroked out 400 and revamping the entire suspension/braking system, But unlike some people on here this will not be a Mega-Bucks build, just your average joe :2nd:

Stay tuned for updates as they will happen frequently, for now enjoy some of the fantastic picture taken over the 4th of July weekend


Thank you again www.jarboedoggart.com for taking such amazing pictures of the car!

wamp wamp, It's my car I love the thing the way it is but its not all that "fun" as it is and its actually not a great car to drive until it can stop and handel. It's not bad to park in a garage or take out and wash, but until I revam the brakes and add power disc's I wont go on the highway and until it can handel well I dont really want to go on cruises.

SO Id like to make it suite my needs and be more appreciated ;)

Great to see another bay stater. Where exactly are those domes in the background? Being of the its yours do what you will and drive the sh** out of it when its done school, always better to start with a solid car like yours. Besides, a 326 bird is not exactly a '69 Trans Am and 1st gen Fbodies have catalogs full of parts to upgrade to a real street machine. Have fun drive it like you stole it and I will keep my eye out for the yellow bird.

Not a huge update, but I have been collecting some parts for the build.

Parts collected thus far:

Hotchkis front swaybar with endlinks p/n 2207F
Hawk c6 Corvette quiet slot front rotors Left p/n HUS8259 Right p/n HUS8261
Hawk c6 Corvette HP Plus front brake pads p/n HB247N.575
MOOG lower ball joints p/n AMGK5103
Global West Del-a-lum LCA bushings p/n 1013


I should be ordering the KORE3 billet hubs and c6 caliper brackets in a week or two. I have the c6 calipers and pad abutments on order just have not taken delivery on them yet. all I have to do is decide on the coilover set-up right now its looking like QA1 is going to be the road im going down due to the adjustability of them over a spring/shock combo. Im also leaning to the Global West uper control arms because of the advantage of better camber/caster charictaristics.

Once all my parts are in Im going to be removing the knuckles and LCA's to get blasted and powder coated to prevent them from looking ugly in the future.
