Default '69 Firebird Project SR71

Hi all, I'm on my 3rd 1st gen build after selling my '69 Camaro a couple of years ago. This one will be a daily driver for fun and will be built as such.

It's currently undergoing a frame-off restification. Not so much for concours, but to save the metal top to bottom, look respectable, and be safe and sound. Should be painted in a Month, maybe less.

Plans include:
Stock style exterior with 400 hood, possibly a hood tach, Jet Black paint
Stock style interior (Parchment), with custom stitched Cerullo seats in OEM vinyl, with the addition of perforation in the centers.
DSE 2" drop springs/leafs with Koni adj shocks, front swaybar
C5 hybrid front brakes, possibly hydroboost
18" wheels, either TTII's, Billet Rally II's, considering others...

Later on, maybe A/C and an overdrive.

The purpose of this car is to a)save it, b) drive it hard, c) enjoy the heck out of it and d) maintain it's identity and be easily reversible.

Here it was a month ago when I bought it...much has been done, will post updates as I get some better pics:
