Hi everyone,
I recently brought home a 67 convertible project that needs some finishing. The thing is is that this is my first conv. and I need some help on installing the conv. frame to the body. Does anyone have some pics of a restoration or some good tips for me? Also can some one list all the parts that go along with the top, so that I can be sure I have everything I need (I know I need the top, I'm more worried about the hardware and metal peices. besides the frame) Thanks for any help that you can give. Nick

I guess no one else has a convertible :p Mine must be pretty rare then Really though it would be nice to get some help. Thanks

I`ve got a 69 convert., but did take it to a top shop for the convertible work....glad I did since it ripped first time I used it, got a new under warranty..."my warranty" would have cost a little more sweat and $$...LOL
sorry no pics of that install....but if you sign up on the "firebird-L' list....you may get the answer...lots more info there than here...
to go there look under 'firebird - L' back on the home page , think its above the classifieds...then scroll waaay down ,you will see some red print for diofferent sign ups /sign outs, personnally I like the "digest" version...one or two bunched emails per day, unless you want them to come in as sent...
hope to see you on the "list" !

Thanks for the info Bjorn,
I do plan on having the top done at a shop but I want to clean the frame up and install the frame myself to save some cash. I have to make sure I have all the parts before I can install the frame. I will try your suggestion and sign up on the list. Thanks again for your help, Nick

Nick, you should be able to find most of the info here: http://1968firebird.org/illustrated/conv/conv1.html

Steve's site has most anything you'd need as far as Service manual info! Take a look around there, and book mark the site!

Hope this will help you out! I have to do my top in the next few years, and will be studying up on all of this in the near future!

Good luck - Brett - 67 Drop Top 455!

Nick,

I just went through the whole process on my '67. If you have any specific questions let me know. The link Brett sent has a pretty good picture of how it goes together. I took pictures of my frame before I took it apart so I could put it back together. I even have some extra parts left that are in good shape that I don't need. You can contact me here: vferrizz@sover.net.
