Brokeass Bird- '68 Firebird

That 2nd rim looks hot.

Thats where I'm leaning, I like the lip on the second rim as opposed to the flush spokes of the first. Now, can someone find me an extra $2k?

I also vote for that wheel

TSW with a polished lip?

Beautiful car you have Mike! I love 1st gens! Would love to own one some day.

Thanks!

No polished lip, I like the all black look.

Any interest in a new coil over conversion kit from Detroit speed? I bought it new and decided to do a aftermarket subframe. It's all the brackets but no coilovers. It's new in box. I paid $400 I'd sell it for $350 ob

Hi Charles, I may be interested, Can you post the DSE Part numbers for the kit?

Sorry for the lack up updates recently, there has been a lot action in the last few weeks!

I got most everything sorted out with the new front end parts, suspension and brakes, and I dropped it off for a final alignment this morning.

I am going to work on rolling the fenders tonight. I don't have any rubbing as it sits now, but I am going to do 275/40/17 tires out back at some point. plus, a little more clearance can't hurt, right? Then its off to Norwalk, OH for the HRPT tomorrow morning!!

My shifter came apart on the way home from Norwalk on Tuesday. Had to call roadside assistance to flat bed it home. I must have been bangin' shifts down the track on my way to a 15.6 et. Upon closer inspection, it looks like I lost the connecting bolt between the shift linkage. On another note, I just bought these! Going to try to get the console too.

Mike, your bird is one of my favorite 1st gens. So happy to see you're keeping it and tastefully modding it.

[mikewoods]

Thanks Brian! I'm glad it didn't sell too. Now to fix this f*ckin shifter!

[mikewoods]

Tore in to the shifter this evening. It was exactly as expected, the bolt holding the mounting bracker to the trans came out. Amazingly, it was still in the hole, just no threads engaged. I'm glad it was a quick, cheap fix. Kristen has about had it with me spending money this month.

I thought you guys would appreciate this. My Grandfather and I at Summit Motorsports Park on Tuesday.

That's awesome! Kinda funny how it's reversed - grandpa has the newer car and you have the older.
