68 Firebird

[dobie6982]

I have been working on my build or demo rather of my 1968 Firebird. I have the assembled short block Pontiac 400. I have the Edelbrock heads from Jim Butler on order. I will be putting in a Vintage Air soon after I get my factory AC out of the way. This will be a very basic build to start with, depending on family situations and money. Hopefully I can have the engine out tomorrow and start on my template for the console.

Been awhile, but I now have the block painted and heads on. My new steering wheel came in today. Soon I will have the engine in and front clip on.

Almost done. I am still looking for my T56 to replace my Muncie. I have the motor in and she is solid. This thing is so much more fun to drive with all the new power. The Vintage Air A/C is much colder than I thought it would be. I am almost finished with the interior. I am currently finishing my custom center console and there will be pics of that once its complete.

The red console did not have any cup holders. I will have all the wires in the engine bay cleaned up as soon as I get all the bugs worked out.

Blacked out around the tail lights using plast dip. And got some interior shots.
