Newb with some Firebird projects!

[Josue]

Hey everyone! I'm going to have a '68 Firebird build up in the near future, and I'd like to take it a pro-touring route, so I was referred to this site by CodeRed. Deffinatly liking what I'm seeing so far!

Right now I have a Chevy Colorado (how I know CodeRed) that I've done alot to over the years. I've been a full time body man for the past 7-8 years, and have been in the business since I was 14. LOVE doing this kind of work on cars, but I don't want to do it as a career for the rest of my life, so I went to college for Air Traffic Control and just graduated in August. Now I'm just waiting to get hired by the FAA...

My parents have a completed '68 Firebird coupe right now, but they just picked up a '69 Firebird Convertible project that I will likely be doing 95% of the work on, since anything above changing an air filter or a light bulb is WELL outside of my dad's skill level. hahaha I'll throw a thread up in the appropriate section, but once I have the means, they're going to sell me the '68 coupe, and I'll quickly be tearing into that to make it my own!

Here are a few shots of my Colorado...

The way it was...




The way it is now...hehe
