Desert Find 69 Firebird ,,, My new project
 

hello everybody ,,,

a gearhead from the other parts of the plant ,,, i am writing from Saudi Arabia ,,,for 4 years i was waiting for my lucky day ,,, i keep looking in junkyards barns every possible place u can think about for old muscle cars (specially bird and camaros ) ,,, and i was hoping for a 69 car ,,, to me this year is THE Year of muscle cars ,,, few weeks ago i found a 69 firebird sleeping in an old junkyard ,,, went to the owner of this junk yard ,,, he was a very nice guy however i wanted to play it smart ,,, coz if he notice that u really wants a car that they have the price will go UP uP uP UP ,,, so i started asking about this and that then he told my if u want to buy anything do it now coz the goverment is asking them to leave the area in two days ,,, (this is really my lucky day) then i told him i want to work on a project in the summer but am not sure about which car will be fun ,,, he told me to buy his 56 ford pick-up ,,, i told him i dont like pickups and the prince is above my budget ,,, then he said what do u think about this (pontiac!!) i told him is it a caprice !! he said no its a pontiac coupe ,,, i asked about the price ,,, boom deal done ,,, paid him in cash took the car with me ,,,and when i say cash i mean the amount of cash we usually hold in our pockets

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.

well ,,, if its in good shape i dont need it ,,, it all about the fun of restoring it ,,, and i'll be doing most of the labor my self ,,, just wish me luck

good luck... AND keep the pic's coming:thumbsup:

Wow congradulations on the new p[roject. you have to keep us up to date on this one. Good luck and enjoy!

You are out of your mind....

Nice find, good luck on the build. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 69 Firebird too. It's good to see more Firebirds on the site.

holy crap that thing is just about gone,, you have alot of work ahead of you but good luck!! Get it torn down and see what you have for a shell to start with!
you should be buying roof skin, dash top, 1/4 panels, hood, fenders, doors, floorboards, trunkfloor, wheel houses, headlight buckets/bezels, tail light panel, instead of suspension LOL!!!

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:

I'm not sure what the difference between replacing a dented and rusted panel and one that is just rusted is.

This car is more savable than many I have seen saved.
