i bought a 68 firebird earlier this month and i was wondering what any of you reccomend me doing to it. the car has been owned by many people so there are a lot of strange things done to it. First of all, its green with green interior, but the car ws originally a white-gold? color with what i believe to be parchment interior. The production number in the VIN shows the car to be originally a 6cyl. It now has what I was told to be a 400ci and a TH400, i have not checked the # on the block, but the tranny pan looks to be a 400. Basically nothing on the car is original. I am going to have to get the following from up22.com, new front fenders, 400 hood, and rear decklid with molded-on spoiler. Anyone reccomend a company that has good sheet metal full rear quarters? It will need new floors as well, but I think I have those under control. I am probably going through NPD for some new black carpet and new black seat covers. I do not want to make this car into a drag car, just a good street machine. I am thinking about converting it to a manual, because the auto seems to be locked up. I have been thinking about 4,5,and 6 speeds as a replacement, can this be done? the drive shaft and mounts will obviously need modification, where can i find info on this if it is possible?
