New Guy Old Firebird

[EvBaxter]

Hey everybody. My name is Everett. I've just begun to build my 1969 Pontiac Firebird. I purchased it in 1989 and kept in in a garage until earlier this year when my friend and I began working on it. When I saw Mark Stielow's Red Devil Camaro in the optima Challenge, I knew the driection I wanted to take with my Firebird. It will be pure Pontiac though. I look forward to sharing ideas, pics, and getting tips from you folks.



My car was rescued for $100 from an unhappy marriage to a large Cadillac engine. The previous owner was making a race car and did a really rough job of removing the dash. The dash and floor pans are the roughest parts of my car. We've fitted the new floor pans and dash. Once those are done, we'll be installing a Detroit Speed mini-tub kit. We have a rotisserie so once the inside of the body is blasted and painted, we'll go to work on the underside.

Here are some pics.
