Well I finally got my 68 Pontiac wagon home this week! Only took 8 months ...
Without Pjay's (pjt5959) help, it never would have happened. Thanks a lot dude, I owe you more than you can imagine. He has vaays of getting yuu a car title!
Little tired right now but I will put together a reader's digest version of what happened these last 8 months over the next few days.
I have one little tidbit though...the car sheet metal is actually better than I could imagine. I'm in snow/salt country here. This car has less rust underneath it than a 6 month year old Alberta Chevy. It's a fricken time capsule!
The inside of the car is full of junk...which is real cool! It's like a treasure hunt. I opened the passenger door for the first time today and the first part I saw on the floor was a Kick down switch for a TH400! Just what I needed for my 68 FB. Found looks of parts that were peeled off the original engine. This car was purchased as a roller /w transmission so the stuff I find in the car is just a bonus.
Then I start digging in the back and I start finding 68 Firebird parts! Yaaaahaaaa! Too funny! I'm going to layout all the stuff I dug out and take pictures so you guys can have a look.
You will recall that I am restoring my Dad's old Pontiac wagon I had stored in a field for 20+ years. The rust is bad from the frame up about 10". The gas tank fell thru the fender onto the ground it was so rusty.
However, the car only has 112,000 miles so the interior is in pretty good shape. My Dad's car along with this donor car is an excellent pair to make one great restoration.
