LFairbanks Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That looks like a lot of work. Looks as though the place your having the work done is being very thorough. Which is good. Have they given you any ballpark (no pun intended) time line in which they think they will be done? 2008fx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2008fx4 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I would love to remove the drip rails on the Firebird!!! Gret progress! they were already removed - evidently when the previous shop shaved the rails, every spot where they went through the metal with the grinder, they just bondo'd it. instead of filling each hole with a weld and smoothing it out.

Doug123 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Reminds me of an old blues line "If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all". Been there, but not to that extreme, so sorry it's gone this way. HOWEVER, you do have that Gorgeous engine waiting to be used. And the 6 speed ought to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to see the results. 2008fx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Have they given you any kind of idea on when they think it will be done? 6 months a year? Or no timeline at all? 2008fx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, That's not good!! was the bondo all cracked or was it by luck you found it? 2008fx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008fx4 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Have they given you any kind of idea on when they think it will be done? 6 months a year? Or no timeline at all? not really - all the parts are there with the exception of new fenders, rear quarters and some little things. it'll be done when its done. Ouch, That's not good!! was the bondo all cracked or was it by luck you found it? not cracked yet - but its the reason i had the car stripped down - so many other visible issues.

LimitedDodge Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) This is going to be better than new when it's done! I have been watching the updates on facebook. My Dad has a 66 as well. Looks pretty good from 15' or so but never had the money to make it this nice. Those guys do some top notch custom work!

Schwag one Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Holy moly this thing is going to be sick. I'll trade you a Jeep and a Tahoe for your finished product, but I may need to sleep on your couch to let the wife cool down... 2008fx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
