67 Firebird Convertible

[Smock67]

Figured I'd give an update about whats been going on with the car I was finally driven for the first time in since I had moved to Tampa from Fort Myers. Talk about an absolutely incredible feeling... Then it over heated so as it sits right now I'm waiting for all my relays and switches to come in so I can put in my Mark VIII fan, which should extinguish my issue entirely. It will certainly still have quite a bit of work to be done but it will be a drivable project which is all that matters to me at this point.
Grant steering wheel i picked up off craigslist brand new still in box for $20

The only big ticket not entirely needed item that will ever make it on the car
Covan insert which was picked up off the bay for half of retail. Stewart Warner gauges were also picked up on discount but it was free shipping iirc.


Also the car was repainted for the third time by my buddy in his booth at his new body shop.
Originally i took it in for a reclear but after we both went over the car we mutually decided to just repaint. So I spent about 7 hours sanding the whole car down fixing a couple little imperfections and masking/ taping.
Taped and masked




Sanded and ready to go






I have about 60+ pictures of him just painting but I'll kip to the good ones
