68 firebird first car

[hotroddr]

Heres my first car, I bought it when I was 13. I painted it in my garage when I was 14 and restored the whole thing by high school. Now its declined to the point that it needs to be gone through again since it has to park outside. I finished the mini tub in the back recently but havent been able to buy new wheels and tires yet. I am on a college budget so I cant hardly afford that now.
The goodies
-350 chevy(I know....it was cheap....that will change)
-mild cam 224* duration at .050, .464 lift intake and exhaust
-th350(will also change)
-Chevelle disc brakes up front
-9" rear end with 3.30 limited slip and lincoln versailles discs
-Polyurethane bushings all the way around(I didnt know any better when I did it....they will all be changed)
-1 1/8" sway bar up front
-Guldstrand mod to UCA mount
-Mini tubbed rear
-lots of bondo
Theres more...but I am forgetting now...This is just the beginning of this project but its been a great learning experience


and a pic from my high school days in front of my old house shot by my mom.

Welcome to the site hotroddr.
That's a nice 68 you have.

Nice burnout in front of the neighbors house. You got that Duramax dialed in yet?

[hotroddr]

the duramax hasnt seen much progress. I just finished finals, spent 2 days working on the firebird, and now Im working on the GMC. I got all the sheet metal off of it...will post pics of it soon in the other post. Hopefully It will be running soon. I am going to paint a car for a friend though so I will have a few days of prep work doing that. Whew...Car guys are in high demand!
