Firebird stays...

Well, the Firebird made it through another round of car sales. It seems as though when I need to sell a car that I also put the Firebird up for sale as an alternative. Basically, I let whichever goes first make my choice for which car stays. The Firebird has made it through the sale of the El Camino, the supercharged Vette, and now the convertible Vette. It is always the car that nobody wants to buy So... I've got a NORMAL car to drive now and the Firebird it the toy. So it looks as though I'll be keeping it AND finishing it. Don't know when or how but I want to finish the car.

Oh ya, the new car is an Olds Aurora. Stinking nice car!!! I just hope I can get the Firebird finished before I get the speed bug again.

Cool ! I like the way you let fate decide what you will drive, it always works out for the best!

My brother should be finished with his twin turbo 68 fastback about the same time you are, it would be a good race

Hot dang! A twin turbo small block would kick my butt! You've got to tell us more about your brother's car!

Yep, Jess... I've still got the big block. Basically, nothing has changed at all. I could finish it pretty easily if it was just here in Illinois. But arranging that is pretty difficult and I'd rather not try right now. Just more time, right?
