Good luck fellow bird bro! FWIW, my car 'looked' better than that when I pulled mine out of a barn....but in reality it wasn't. It took alot of work to make it nice, like most cars on this forum.

Best of luck! Keep us posted.

Josh

Holy crap a 69 Firebird in Saudi

I've been working as a civilian in Iraq for the last few years, if I could find a nice project in a junk yard of Iraq that would awesome.

Let us know if you need help getting anything over there. I can imagine that it'll be tough getting all the little stuff together from over there.

Sounds like you're getting somewhere. Post up some more pics when you get your stuff and make some progress. Have you started deconstruction yet?

I want to see this.
