Im 18 and still in high school and ive always lived around muscle cars. It started with my dads 1971 cutlass supreme that he has owned since 1977. he restored it in '77 and it has been driven since about 1996. the car sat in our back yard and started to collect rust and in about 2003 i started bugging my dad to start restoring it and finally in 2004-2005 we restored it and i still had the restoration bug and I wanted an old car of my own. Then i found a 1969 firebird convertible for $4000 in very rough shape that didnt run, and needed alot of work. I bought it in the summer of 2005 and so far ive rebuilt the motor tranny, done all the bodywork/welding on the front end and now im tackling replacing all the rear sheet metal. I still havent driven the car yet but im really excited for that day to come and for this long and expensive project to be done. Everything has really slowed down now since ive run low on money and its hard to pay for gas. I just cant wait to lay that paint on the car.
