Hello everyone I'm new to the muscle car scene and specially forums. I joined because Ive heard from friends that yall are a great help, friendly and know your stuff so looks like im in the right place, I am Eddie, 21 a full time college student and part time construction worker as you can see i have little to no time to work on my car but the free time i do get i make the most out of it to get her running. The project is 68' firebird with a chevy 350 previous owner mentioned he'd done aftermarket internals so who knows it idles crazy thats for sure, it has a 2 speed powerglide which i plan on getting rid of, i'd like a manual tranny to enjoy her more. 10 bolt posi rear end no ac no ps, brakes no power nada lol this ough to be fun... i bought in wisconsin from a guy who had the car sitting in hes barn for 10 years, he had already replaced the floors trunk and all body sheet metal so the hard work has already been done. She has a lot to be taken care of, electrical wiring, suspension brakes and blah bah blah Since finals are in a week that means winter break ill b working on her, my upholstery is getting done as we speak so ill post progress and keep you updated.

Really nice looking car man, hope my bird gets to that point eventually
Btw the slot rims really rock, what size tires do you have on there?
