I am thankful for this website and for members like yourself, 68tpls400. I am thankful to have a site where I can ask questions about Firebird issue's and problems. I want everyone's opinion because I am a rookie at this. I want to hear other's step by step teachings to solve an issue because I know there is more than one way to complete a certain job. I listen to my builder but I always want second and third opinions from others on what to do and how to do it.
I agree with you that an original car would probably be a better sell. My car has its original motor and trans also. And it actually has 30,000 + miles on the odometer. I thought it was 130,000 + miles but my builder tells me it's actually 30,000 because of certain ware and tear on parts throughout the car. But it's still hard to beleive.
68tpls400, your 2 girls are lucky to be getting a convertable from you. It's good to see you have two so no problems will occur down the road. I have a 3 and a half year old daughter who just recently found out about my '69 and she keeps asking me about it.
I went to the shop last night to look at my car (eventhough it has not been worked on) and to look at the progress on the other cars. Hopefully my time will come soon.
I want to thank everyone for the help and please keep the information coming my way.
