Nice job on the spoiler. The whole car in general looks great. Love the wheel package and stance! 👍🏻. Keep us posted on your cooling issue. Something a lot of us deal with on these classics.
I'm in the vote against the Camaro style spoiler on first gen Firebirds camp. They look great on first gen Camaros, but out of place on Firebirds. Just my opinion of course. People like what they like and doing something you enjoy to your ride is all that matters. I guess I'm personally just more of a keep it Firebird type person. Glad to see you installed those radiator baffles. They are missing on so many cars for some reason.
Looks good to me, I absolutely love that car, what camaro? I’m pretty sure if I had that I would forget my camaro and just drive that all the time 😊. Love the old locks that you can break into the car with simple wire, because back then they made them to keep honest people honest, they don’t make them like that anymore😂
Thanks Roger! I really enjoy this car. Winter is long and cold so I need the Camaro to keep me busy. I like how simple these cars are. Keep up the good work!
It's funny my 68 Firebird name is Lucy also now with to to baffles and now I saw you have the lower baffle which is hard to find a original one you shouldn't have enough cool air I don't like that front spoiler on the first generation Firebird but it's your car one more thing you have the wrong washer bottle and the wrong location if you need the right bracket let me know I will send you one great looking bird I hope my bird will come out this nice
Hey Luis! Is there a story behind the name "Lucy"? I call this one Lucille because it has a loose seal on the transmission causing it to leak a little. I like the spoiler, I think it looks sporty. It has the original washer mounted to the radiator support. I'm not sure why they added the glass bottle, but I haven't found a reason to remove it. I'll drop something on it and break it one of these days. Your Bird is going to be awesome! Cheers man!
@ElrodsGarage thanks about my 68 I'm trying my best. And if you are happy with it then it's cool because remember it's your car have fun with it now as a little kid I love the I love Lucy show that's why I call her Lucy
I'd watch out for rust. These cars have a few problem areas. Check out my Camaro videos. They show the common problem areas. Other than that look for signs of previous collision damage. Go over it with a magnet to check for excessive bondo. Then check it over mechanically. Watch someone else drive it down the road. Make sure it tracks straight down the road. That's just my $0.02. Best of luck!
My name is Eldon, I'm getting the rear quarters put on, the car is pretty solid, but decided I didn't want patch seams. Trying to decide on metallic blue like yours or non metallic blue. Last time I painted metallic I got tiger stripes.
Small world. My name is also Eldon. I'm building a '68 Camaro in my spare time. Someone replaced the quarters before I got it, but everything else was pretty rusty. I have done a bunch of metal replacement on the car. It's turning out pretty good.
Add a vote in favor of the chin spoiler. Thanks for the video, and she looks and sounds great!

Thanks a bunch! It stays around 210 degrees now even on a hot day.

You typically don't see fireworks with chin spoilers keep it 👍

My 67 Firebird should look like your 68. My nickname is Elrod.
Cool! How is your Firebird project coming along? My nickname is Elrod too.

Not a fan of a spoiler on the FGF. Accordingly not on my 67.
Thanks for the comment. I was unsure about the spoiler at first, but now I really like it.
