Car addiction is a disease...

[69TAPoser]

Seeing how my Firebird has about another year before it is done, I picked up a "temporary summer driver" today. :D








...It looks red in the pics, but it is actually hugger orange. The paint is only a few years old, so it is in pretty nice shape. The car over all is "driver quality" and it has new qtrs, a small patch in the trunk, and a small patch in the driver's side floor. I was told it was an LT with a non-matching 350 engine.

Unfortunately, someone blacked out the tail lights and side markers as well as the front and rear window trim and door handles (arrgh). Any recommendations how to fix these?

I am really really really going to try hard not to mess with it too much as the goal is to DRIVE IT not mess with it.

Ya know, on a orange car the black out treatment is acceptable.

And congratulations

[shep]

I like it. I would just drive it like it is.

Nice temp.! I'm a little jealous.

[Yelcamino]

When you're 'Bird is done, I got first dibs on your temp!

Nice car, a bigger air cleaner and detail the engine orange and drive it.

Thanks guys, I pick it up Saturday and I am psyched. Building a car is fun, but I have an itch to do some cruising!

I will leave the blackouts for now. You guys are right, I don't think they detract from the look of the car.

Nice car, a bigger air cleaner and detail the engine orange and drive it.

No doubt! I just happen to have a couple brand new air cleaners hanging around. A little spray bomb and I will be ready to cruise!

alrighty then, noting, time stamp and the date. Ok we'er good.

LOL

Looks sweet. nice catch. I agree with Frank on the black outs too.

Nice car!

I think you may find it hard to sell it even when the Firebird gets done.

It's always nice to have a fun driver that you haven't put months and months of time and money into.

I would add shoulder belts though if you're going to drive it regularly.

As my Dad always says, "the road to he11 is paved with good intentions."

I have already been surfing eBay for a few goodies. Like I said...it's a disease.

LOL, I bought my 72 for the same reason. Great looking cruiser!

[eville]

[Rybar]

I like it alot, I'd swap on some 18's and lower it.

[hdesign]

Nice score Phil, where'd you find it?

[69TAPoser]

Damn it would look good with 18s though.

Hi Ben - I got it not far from you in Dudley, MA.
