Default My 69 Firebird Project "Routy"

Here is a rendering of what it should look like when done and a picture of what it looked like when I got it.

nice vert,\
I miss my convertible something awful.

I sold it when I bought my house and I regret that descision.

You think the turbo car and the stephens car would be ebough but That vert was the best It was a 350 2 BBL car originally so I didnt worry about anything just enjoyed it.

He turbo car is kinda the same accept you cant pack 6 people in it and head to the beach.

At least I dont have to worry about the glass nose and door rusting.LOL

I do have a lot more photos. I have not updated the site out of courtesy to HPP prior to the issues hitting the stands. I will update it soon now that they have been out. What would you like to see posted? Thanks for the compliments!

Would like to see more about the engine/driveline, interior and exterior shots especially the white striping around the cowl / front fender / rear fender area.

Thanks!!

And a few more.Thinking about maybe changing the wheel and tire combo, found a nice set of 17x8 and 17x9 wheels with some nice 40 series rubber, they look like Torque Thrusts with a grey center and polished lip, give me something to drive on and handle better, will post pics if it works out, Brian.

Will probably go back to the stock maroon in the end though. easier to touch up blend etc

Is that color Sillver Glaze by any chance? That is what I plan to use on my '67 convertible. A beautiful ride you have there!
