This Firebird came to us from San Antonio for a much needed 'freshen-up". It will require a new left quarter panel and some patches in the floor, but in very good shape compared to some of our other projects. The customer plans to install some awsome suspension and a nicely built 400 engine to power this old beauty. We are not quite sure about the color yet, but we have a little time before that decision has to be made. Check back every Friday to see updated photos.
