67 Firebird Convertible
Well I decided to make a new thread for my car as the old one is missing all pictures because apparently putfile.com is no longer working. So unfortunately i have no original pictures of the car when i got it or of any of the horrible body work done by the previous owner. Anyways this car has certainly been a huge learning experience for me. A little background then on to the pictures.
Prior to acquiring the Firebird i had a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GTV6 with just about everything imaginable done to it, Full suspension, paintjob, lip kit supercharger, 2 sets of wheels 2 or 3 hoods after all was tallyed up i had around 20000 into it all by the time I was 16. Well the unfortunate thing is that it was stolen and torched burnt to the ground and not even stripped.
Well after months of dealing with insurance and the cops pretty much calling and telling me it was a cold case. I ended up getting only 13000 for it. Well I decided that it was then that I would go old school and purchased what looked to be an almost perfect starter project car a 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible.
Well the owner wasnt truthful and I was dumb for purchasing a car sight unseen. Well after about 40 or so hours on each quarter panel i finally got them close to perfect. I worked at custom car shop and pretty much taught myself how to do body work. The cars first timeline was to get it done within one year and well I actually was for the most part on schedule till the IRS shut down the shop and i was forced to get my car towed to my moms house, and proceeded to get it closer to being done.
Well I came up with the name Twisted Karma for a few reasons, my previous car was stolen and set on fire, then i ended up getting a firebird. But now I'm thinking more towards Twisted67 if anyone else can come up with a better name im game.
