Default 68 Firebird code name Green Machine

Hi everyone, 1st time poster, long time watcher. I have a 68 firebird with the hopes of a semi-pro tour build. I will try to make an attempt to do most of the work myself. I will maybe sub some stuff out, paint and body work. I want to do half of the Hot Rod Power Tour this year, since it's starting in my state, Florida. Here's to wanting! Here are some before, between and after shots. Looks like No! Power Tour this year. There in the wrong order, it's pic 2, 3, then 1.

Not sure how I missed this one.

Great car and I really like those wheels on it. Any progress since the first post?

Keep at it!

How did I miss this intro. Welcome. The Birds are my favorite GM. I wish I still had my 69. I think now I like the 67 68s even better. Nice to see you building a Poncho for power

I have been taking my time working on the car. I have been replacing and repairing rusted metal. Some days I think I bit off more than I can chew. I can tell you this, new metal does not fall into place. It always needs a little finesse.
