          Wow, I can envision it restored and it will be a beauty. One of my favorite cars. But Whoa, you sure do have a project on your hands. Good luck with that.

                Thanks guys for kind words, I'm appreciate it.

                FYI,

                I'm sorry I've not much time to replies and sending PMs and emails to everyone because of my '67 Firebird that needs TONs of working to do (you're right) and errands to do. I've been harbor labor part to over time on my '67 Bird daily till nights, sick, painful on my back spines, some arthritis on my hands, left hip joint, toe bones, right upper leg and few day offs (rest day). I hardly get up in the mornings, I woke up most around 10:00-11:00am daily then go back to working on her at noon till 10:00-11:00pm... I don't wanted to storage her over 2 years, I force myself to hurry up and bring her back to the road in few yrs.... but I have to be near or perfect body working on her and get her very straight body will be increase valueable and great for all Car Shows (at day times) and meeting the Cruisers (at nights) that's very good for my healthy and enjoying her.
                Last night I created a new photobucket.com account is My1967Firebird400-PatWhiteEagle that I've not uploading it yet but will do at nights when I'm not dead tiring.

                BTW, I still have pics in my old photobucket.com seen in my thread but I'll uploading into my new one then will deleting old ones.

                UPDATED:

                You can sending PMs or e-mails me. I'll send PM you with my email address, not in here. Thanks.

                  Little bit of advice, don't waste your time trying to make it a show car, that would require a frame off restoration and thousands of dollars. Show cars are also beauty queens meant mainly for display purposes only.

                  What you want is a decent daily driver, no need for frame off stuff, just try to remove as much rust as possible, some metal work, smooth out the body with lots of sanding, and give it a decent paint but don't go overboard, concentrate more on the engine, what you want is a solid daily driver where you can actually ride everyday, not a show car for museum purposes, have fun with it, that's the whole point of owning a mid range classic such as your Firebird.

                    Hector and I are understood each others, it's all cool.

                        I personally don't care about winning trophies, I just want a good driver that looks and performs good.

                        Not jealous. I have no idea why you said that, just trying to help.

                        I'm a Ford guy, always have been, I currently own a 1964 1/2 Mustang coupe. I also own a Ford F150 truck.

                        No jealousy, I just figured we are just two classic car guys talking about cars, and not compete with each other, that would be childish.

                        BTW, I have a friend who owns the same Firebird you own, he's also currently restoring it as well.

                        But, if you like to enter and compete in shows, that's cool, it's a great way to meet and hang around with fellow classic car collectors, that's great, Pat.

                        You have a nice ride, good luck with your project.

                          I'd rather see pictures of your old cars, that would be more awesome than the trophies.
