Did you happen to have a 69 Firebird collector in the car with you that pooped a little bit?

I could probably handle 150-160mph without a diaper.
Beyond that ... No Guarantees

in that car a buck fitty probably feels like @75 mph. I rode in a '64 coupe at 130 and felt like we were doing the speed limit.

I meant after Greg restores it. lol
Still probably crazy though.

Actually, i've never seen any pic(s) of this car !
Did it have doors and floors and a steering wheel when Greg got it ?

I'm a nutcase about a TripBlk 69 Jvert with Hideaways.
Kind of blame Milt R. for that ...

I'd jump on it too...but my ultimate would be a RAIV Triple Black - non-Judge Convertible(4 speed of course..M21, BVZ)...just looks downright MEAN w/o any of the decals/stripes, IMO.

ID:	231486 BVZ-Here is what I had to start with-along with a few other parts. I went ahead and tore it completely back down-had the chassis blasted-restored it-had the body completely blasted and set it back on the restored chassis. It is now getting painted.

Hopefully getting a fresh coat of black this coming week. Will post pics when I get it back. Getting 2 gallons of clear over the base. Have most everything here waiting on it. Starting to get a little excited-seems like it is taking forever-but I guess its only been 4 or 5 weeks since my last post.

Some reason I thought you did your paint work yourself.

What brand of slick-n-shiny will they use on it ?
