Any updates on this. I really like this guys motivation and drive.

Good luck fellow bird bro! FWIW, my car 'looked' better than that when I pulled mine out of a barn....but in reality it wasn't. It took alot of work to make it nice, like most cars on this forum.

Best of luck! Keep us posted.

Holy crap a 69 Firebird in Saudi

I've been working as a civilian in Iraq for the last few years, if I could find a nice project in a junk yard of Iraq that would awesome.

Let us know if you need help getting anything over there. I can imagine that it'll be tough getting all the little stuff together from over there.

Congrats on the new project.
You are one brave man! I'm thinking that it's going to cost you a LOT more to fix this one than it would to just start with one that is straighter.

Hey bro, not to sound negative, you are a gearhead from another planet. I agree & understand what you mean about wanting to fix it up and that being the fun part & all. But why put yourself thru that if you don't have to....physically & financially. Nonetheless, congrats & have a damn good time. Like others have said, keep us up to date on this one. I want to see this.:lolhit:
