Hi everybody!

This is my first post and I wanted to compliment everyone on a really cool site. My ride is a stock 68' Firebird that I've had in my garage for about a year now... it's been about 20 years since I last had one and I'm kinda like the dog that chases cars and finally caught one.

Now what? It's gonna be fun figuring that out, hopefully you guys can help me along the way.

I'm new to this site as well. I'm building a 67 bird. I have a long way to go but is an adventure in busted knuckes and beer that cant be beat.

Welcome aboard. It will be cool to see a 1st Gen Firebird get the treatment. You just don't see much of that. :thumbsup:
