1968 firebird 400 tribute car

In my lifetime I have had several 68 birds hardtops and converts ,none of them were quite what I wanted .When I had the time and means I decided to search out the perfect car to rebuild and started on my journey .I spent the next 4 years taking every nut and bolt out of this ca, putting it on a rotisserie to make sure every inch was better than new .
