    Damn those things are wicked looking. Sometimes I do wish the cars could talk about their past. The muscle-era stuff would probably never shut up. Nice Firebird, man.
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.

    Oh its the parts. Maybe a little GM too but remember the roof braces were smushed on this one. The RH qtr stamping is much more approximate at the rear than the LH and its apparent firsthand. Like how at the trunk gap theres like a 1/4" radius on the bend whereas the left side is more crisp. But the left leaves something to be desired at the other end by the door, where the right is OK. Thats why theres bodymen, I reckon. It worked out OK. As I said before, this job is different because it came with new quarters off rather than on poorly like the '68. Its just all crap like GPs, generally speaking. But hey, looky-





    The spoiler is just in the holes, not screwed down. But I fitted the left gutter and put a latch and striker and weatherstrip on it today.

    Got a few pics of the gutter joints and such, too. I'm almost ready to unscrew it. And there may be a secret productivity weapon coming into play. More later-
