Rob jumped off the deep end and volunteered to breath life back into a 1967 Firebird. It came to me fresh from the paint shop with no brakes, no wiring, an A/C delete started, and a disc brake conversion started. It was a rust bucket before the paint work and the dash and all instruments were rusty as heck. Parts came along in boxes that fit either a Yugo or a John Deere.
A 400 Pontiac and a Cheby 700R4 was sourced for the power. It was in the car but not hooked up to anything. Poor car has went through a few owners and not given a lot of love. My friend bought it and wanted it to be a dependable driver for his wife. It is a mess!
It is starting to take shape. New American Automotive wiring harness is 95 percent done. Brakes are all hooked up with new lines. Engine is being re-gasketed to remove leaks. Overdrive tranny is getting the proper lock up wiring for it to not burn itself up. It will get a March serpentine pulley system and new Ram Air Restorations dual exhaust.
To bad it was a base Firebird in 1967 with a 6 cylinder auto and column shift. Owner will be way under water on this car.
Not sure as a one man operation that I want to tackle this kind of a restoration on a non-Ford platform again. What a learning curve in some areas....
