My brother in Missouri is going to start replacing the sheet metal. Hopefully he can get the body up to shape. When I go home on vacation next I will install an engine, tranny, and all the misc. stuff. This not a concurs restoration. I am installing a new GM motor and a t56 tranny. The car...

I am preparing to restore my 68 firebird. I need fenders, hood, and full quarters and much more. I was wondering which online company's offer the best deals and discounts. Thanks for any suggestions.

The JCI is due every two years and cost an average of 600$ for the inspection. Then every year there is a road tax the ranges from 120$ to 200$ for each car you own.

I have a 68 firebird that is currently being redone. It never came with a tranny or motor so this is not going to a #'s matching car. I am trying to figure out what the best dollar for dollar sbc crate motor would be. Any idea's? I was thinking the ZZ383/425. I would like to have at least...

Quake felt in new york??? dont think so because I live in Okinawa Japan and nobody felt a thing from the quake. We usually get small quakes about every 3 months but just enough where you can feel it but last only about 3 seconds. I was surprised though that we didnt feel it though. Kinda of...

Ah I see. Didnt think about how the buick engine revs compared to a import. I understand that now. Cool thanks for the info.

Bruce, You are 100% correct. I simply want to have fun shifting the gears. I have always people saying it would not work installing a manual tranny which i didnt understand. I plan to install a a 3.8 in my 68 firebird and turn the car into a pro-touring car. Just want to to handle and stop...
