Yeah it is a fun project to be involved with. The whole family has been exchanging e-mails and pictures and are all really exited about it. The ironic thing is MY grandmother owned a 68 firebird 400 she bought slightly used in 1969. She drove it until the late 80's, till she couldn't drive anymore, It was as original and clean as this one. She sold it for 2k! At the time, I just didn't have the money and i knew I would regret not scraping it together somehow, and boy was I right. So this is a very special project for me as well.

Making good progress. Finished most of the brake plumbing, Installed narrowed 12 bolt Moser (3.73's) and set up the bellhousing and hydraulic throwout bearing. We start on the exhaust system today and begin mapping out the fuel system.
