Going to the Pontiac Nationals at Norwalk for 11 years; I fell in love with the early 67-68 firebirds. I finally decided I wanted a 68. We went to look at my firebird and believe me, it was rough!! My husband wasn't sure if we should get it and I said lets do it! I figured if he had a car, I needed one too! While he will help me fix it up and paint it; I want to be right in there with him and learn all the ins and outs of my car. Plus, with it being rough, I know what is bad and can replace it and also put on new performance parts as I go. I also don't expect my husband to pay for all the parts because it is my car. It is a slow process, but I am learning more every day! I know that I definitely will enjoy my car more because I will be a big part in making it whole again. I do not want to be like some other women/girls who have a older car and don't know anything about them or only know what their husbands/boyfriends/dads tell them about it. I don't want guys talking to my husband for info because "I don't know". In my opinion, if you own the car then you should know all about it. Oh, and I definitely am planning on taking it down the strip; I got to have a little fun too!

Awesome! Do you pictures as you have been working on it? One request, please do not throw away the OHC motor and transmission. Many parts on those are desirable from the motor mounts, accessory housing, pumps, distributor, cam tower, on and on. When you are ready to sell the parts please post them at the OHC parts for sale forum.

Good luck!
