imatt88 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Jeff, Love it!!!! Which kit are you using? What type of rims? Rally IIs or steel w/dogdish hubcaps? Looking forward to seeing the finished product Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Going to be a neat build! Instead of the typical "muscle car" or "hot rod" build it is a more obscure but very interesting car! I almost bought a 1:1 Firebird Sprint off a school teacher who lived in Blackriver Falls Wi. back in the mid 70's! It was a red with white interior and rag top to boot! That six with the 4 barrell carb and a 4 speed was a very quick little ride! This was another car I passed over because the wife said we needed a more family oriented car with kid #2 almost there! She also was one caught up in the "dangers" of convertibles in crashes! We wound up with her dad's old 4 door 66 Ford LTD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatt88 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 John, Funny you should mention that, thats why I had to sell my 1969 Catalina Convertible back in '90.. My oldest boy was only three at the time, and my ex was pregnant with my daughter.. We ended up with a mini-van.... Man, I wish I had that car back...
