1stgenbirdman, well, it looks like I'm going to have to print this page off, analyse it, and then take it with me to several car audio stores. Hopefully it won't be like the blind leading the blind with some of the salespeople I'm bound to encounter...

Thanks for the good news on the tweeters. I really liked that option, so was bummed when they blew right away. I really HAVE to have quality sound in my 'bird, so I want to do this right the FIRST time around. As you can see, I don't know anything about mechanics and otherwise, (tying to learn, though) so I'm always 'a target' so to speak, when it comes to having anything done with my 'birds.

Funny you used the term 'stable'...I have horses as well-you know-the four legged kind...I'm spending more time (and $), now on my firebird(s), so I'm having a conflict of interest! I haven't decided yet on what to do with Firebird1 (in garage). It looks good from afar, but needs quite a bit of mechanical work. It drives ok-I've even driven it out of state and back once-but I don't feel confident that it won't break down on me. Firebird2, however, has had quite a bit of mechanical work done to it (previous owner), but really had no body left to speak of. 'bird2, though, was the one worth fully restoring (in my opinion) because it has the original engine, 4 speed trans, Hurst shifter and is less chopped up than 'bird1. It's got some pep to it. Fun to drive! I plan on keeping both, though. I'll probably take 'bird1 in to the same body shop (provided they do me well with 'bird2) and have them do less extensive work on the body. Then I'll take it for mechanical work. This, of course, is if I don't go broke first. Oops, I didn't mean to turn this into "Ramblings'.

Thanks for the info. Also, do you have any idea how many '67 converts are still alive and kicking? I know they only made 15,000+-, I think it would be interesting to find the stats on this. I bet there aren't many. Have searched the net but haven't run across any sites with this kind of info. Debbie
