I like the pic of the pool....... and the cars too. The Firebird has come along way since it first landed back home. That's your retirement investment right there. Is the Formula all back together?

Formula is. Good to go drove it things got plenty o power, just needs rear spoiler, tires alignment, paint

Pool is in laws , we are working on buying a house , little cramped with new baby, will be glad when we are in a house and my cars restored and in the garage

67 will still need the gto engine Rebuilt, interior work and some odds, see what's left in the budget after body and paint, sheet metal was way more than expected but I bought the best on the market so...

Sheet metals here, amd refunded me for a floor pan that's got a gouge, I didn't even ask just said it was damaged and emailed pics, that's customer service lol

Panels are beautiful, I hope they fit as good as they look

Outer rockers , front driver floor( small area) trunk, quarters, tail lite panel, filler below rear glass, rear wheel wells

Same as the camaros

Heck already did the read support, front wheel wells, battery tray

They also usually rot out in the firewall

Here's a side project 03 sprtster 1200 got it stupid cheap like under $2k cheap, came with spare set of tins so I dipped the front fender and bobbed the rear so far, I want to black out a lot of the chrome too, not big on bike chrome
