67 Firebird Convertible

[Smock67]

Well from the last pictures you may have noticed the spot in the middle of the door. When I stored the car in my backyard i covered it with a car cover and two tarps the I bungee corded to the subframe so nothing would fly off. Well unfortunately the bungee cords ended up rubbing through both the towels that I wrapped around them and the car cover. Gotta love those Florida winds. Well here comes repaint which I did much better on then the first time.










I have no pics of the car in the sun nor has it even seen sunlight since it was painted.
Also from the last set of pictures in my previous post that the wheels were a bit funky to be on a firebird.
So I decided to do a quick restoration on my rally II's. With a wire brush attachment for a drill, paint stripper, bead blaster and a straight grinder with a very tiny detail wire attachment. Fun process...






I ended up painting them a satin black then wasnt too happy with how they turned out so now they look more glossy, of course i don't have a final picture of how they turned out.

This is the most recent picture of the engine bay showing the almost completed AAW wiring harness install.




Well thats basically where I am currently. I have certainly overcome quite a few obstacles along the way as well as setbacks. I also decided to paint my front and rear bumpers satin black as I'm not a huge fan of chrome and well they were painted when I got them. I also did a little custom touch on the front bumper which is almost complete.

The worst part of working on the car is I live in Tampa and the car resides in Fort Myers which is about 140 miles south. At this point im just wanting to get the car driveable damn it being perfect. But i still have a ways to go before its there.
My to do list includes:
Finish the wiring harness
Put on bumpers and hood
Install headlights and taillights
Get the top installed
Put in my Stewart Warner Guages and Covans Dash insert
