Roof Skin???
 

I'm thinking about picking up a 69 Firebird CHEAP in my area...

I have a few questions.

It need some fairly common patch panels;Rear Quarters, Rear Fenders, 1 lower door and Trunk.
I'm willing to go for it at that.
What has me very concerned is it needs a new roof skin...
and the front lights are in place with BONDO!!!!

Does this put it into a MAJOR Cost factor.
How much work is a new roof skin and sorting out the grille and headlight buckets. I wish is was a 67-68...their front ends look so much better!
I have an excellent painter with very fair prices, but I think this might be more than I want to deal with.

Sounds like it is a gonner, just wait until you see the one you want. I have made the mistake too many tomes of buying something that is just too far gone and would have been better off buying a better car for a couple hunderd bucks more.
As for the roof skin, its alot of work, but manageable.

It will most likely be worse than you think. I thought I could get away with less on my build, but here I am with an almost new car. The PO filled all the rust spots with bondo. If the headlights are held in with bondo, chances are there's a lot more on that car. Check out my build, it will give you an idea of what's involved.

Any photo's of the '69 Firebird?

I'm going back over this weekend to take a few pics,
 

I'll post over the long weekend.
