1968 Firebird 400 convertible

[litup]

Just joined up. I have a 1968 Firebird that I thought some people would like to see. I have owned a lot of cars, but my first "cool" car was a 1967 Firebird convertible when I was 17. I'm 36 now, so I guess the sickness/hobby has come full circle. Anyhow, I look forward to some of the information on here and to just appreciating everybody else's cars. They are never "done", but the only major modification that I have planned now is a big 4 wheel disc brake package. Here is some info. Thanks!
