Hello Everyone. Asking for tips and help. I am finally putting my 1968 Firebird convertible back together. Here is what I have done. Paint, fuel and brake lines, gas tank installed. Both bumpers installed. I have just the wiring laid where I do believe it goes. And all front end completely rebuilt. glass is all installed. Wiper transmission installed
I have everything else to do. Car was completely stripped of everything. I have all parts mostly oem or new to put this back together. Where is a good place to start so when I put it together, so I go in the correct order so I don't have to do things twice. I basically have a rolling chassis. Car has been apart since 2001. I would like to drive this year. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks Mike
Based on my research, this is the order I intend to assemble my 69: Frame rails trunk pan Firewall Floor pan Rear inner tail panel Door frame / rear quarter assemblies Roof frame Trunk / quarter extensions Outer cowl Lower cowl Dash frame Doors sheet metal from tail panel forward
Happy to hear others thoughts on this but in fairness I am also building a complete tub from scratch. I'll start my build this weekend and I intend to document the entire build using time lapse photo montage and video.

Hi Mike, I got a couple of things you can try. It's very interesting reading at any case. The first thing is a documented process for assembling a 67-69 Camaro. The 2nd thing is a big installation manual. Looks of pages and I find it hard to follow. Going to need to send it to you with something different than email. It's too big.
I am going to try and do it as close as I can as it was done in the factory.
