Not a lot of progress as I have been screwing around about what to do with the tail panel & Fabulous Firebirds...
As most people fixing up 70-73 firebirds know you can't get squat for those years. The tail panel being no exception. You can find NOS ones that pop up from time to time on eBay but they usually run $1500 to $2000 so F THAT! Another option is donor car. So I called Fabulous Firebirds in MO & they guy tells me he has a perfect one with 1 small rust hole the size of a pencil tip. Great I'll take it... 4 days later & an additional $90 in shipping & this is what I get:
As you can see I was not too happy... 1 small rust spot, HA!, try 10 good sized ones. Good shape, HA!, how about full of mud. After spending almost $600 I was only offered a measly $75 credit & I had to even fight for that! The kicker is that this all started Dec. 9th & I STILL have not received closure or $ from them!
So, be ware of the new owner & guys that work there as they are not the same as what Larry was doing in the past when he owned it...
