...is never going to happen. I was going through a box of old pics and found this picture from the day I bought my Firebird.

Purple louvers and rocker panels- yummy. The front grilles were purple too. This is what happens when you buy a car sight-unseen.

Anyway, I just thought some of you would get a laugh out of the purple louvers.

 

the black and purple is much nicer than the blue

 

man kinda freaked me out there for a min kev. U get that car back together yet?

 

I actually read through your CarDomain page one time, that thing was seriously crappy looking.

 

Nah, I've been collecting parts to finish it. I bought a Griffin radiator and a Moser 9-inch rear end for it. I put the '66 in storage so now the Firebird has the garage to itself & I have room to work on it. I'm going to get back to work on it soon.

 

i think it's happier now blue instead of black, just like mine. i'm sure for thirdgenfest we'll get to park all the cars that jay painted together as a large showing there. hopefully they won't all be shades of blue.

 

Kevin how long did you drive it with the lavender.......come on you know it was 80's cool lol

gonna be lots of nice cars at dennys lookin forward to seeing all of them

 

that was the cats *** 20 years ago...

 

You see that spot where the car is sitting? That was taken when I saw it for the first time. 15 seconds after I put my camera away I started scuffing and rattle-canning the louvers, rockers and grilles black. So your answer is: not one second.



EDIT: I just received a pm from someone looking to buy my louvers. Just so everyone knows, that picture was taken in 1994. I sold the louvers, wheels and drivetrain soon after I bought the car.
