Default New to site doing a 1968 Firebird

New to forum but wanted to share my project I am starting a 1968 firebird. I have a rendering I'm following and have the car already, my late model front and rear bucket seats from a Gto, my 9 inch rear axel, and all my sheet metal on the way, still looking for passenger side front fender louver. Here's the car as it sits and the car it will look like! Hope u guys like it. I also am needing to find the side mirrors like in pic, as well as the front grille if its even made, if not ill be doing it. Oh ya I'm doing a 525 ls3 motor with 6 speed.

Wow, you've go quite a project ahead of you.

I passed up on a few cars that were in much better shape than that one before I settled on my car, which didn't have any rust compared to your car.

I think you will be doing a bit of sheet metal grafting.
Maybe a whole LOT!!

Any plans for the suspension you want to share now?

Default detroit

Im going with Detroit in the rear and prolly their front as well minus the frame, so the one that utilizes the stok frame rails. Going to be painting gloss black and clear over it too on all frame. Im smoothing out front fire wall too. Oh ya doing tubes from detroit for rear too. Prolly going 19 inch in rear and 18 front not sure width yet though. Looked for cars for awhile,I wanted this type of car clean title and no one has gone into it yet and re metaled or hid crap. Im the first and last one in, feel better building this type of car from ground up want it solid especially with the power putting into it. I have bout 4000 dollar of sheet metal getting picked up this week, thanks to my dad doing the drive to pick up. So your right alot alot of new metal. Already sent him on 6 hour road trip to pick up my front and rear bucket late model gto seats I am looking foward to this project. Something ill be building forself.
