Rusty Feathers (1967 Firebird)

Thanks for the replies! My main concern is time and stickers.



The next rally that we will be participating in is in July. Not a lot of time between now and then to do the job I would like to do. If I am going to go through the effort of painting, there are some things I would really like to address on the car. The passenger quarter panel should be replaced (it was put on poorly as a result of an accident) and there is rust forming around the windshield and back window (which I am hoping isn't in the dash area).

The stickers is because we put sponsorship stickers on our cars for the rally. We raise a lot of money for the charities each year, and it helps to bring awareness. I'm afraid with the paint the way it is, when I go to take the stickers off, most of the paint will come with it. Then again, that would make it easier to paint next winter.

My son Jackson and I were able to continue on the interior this weekend. I think I am officially in the stage of "put the part in, take the part out, put it back in".

Have most of the car in DynaMax and DynaLiner and we test fitted the carpet set (my wife is happy now, she gets the dinning room table back, since I had it spread out on top for the past two weeks to work the wrinkles out). I also installed the steering column (hopefully for good!).



Also started the wiring (sorry, no pics). I thought I would start with the easy part of the subwoofer and speakers in the back. That way I was out of Jackson's way (he is much better at installing Dynamax than I am) and I could see how I wanted to run the wires. With the Dynaliner (about 3/4" of foam) and the carpet down, I will feel more comfortable laying on my back to do the dash wiring.
