Re: 1969 Firebird 'mild' custom--bringing new life to an absolutely lousy kit

A TEENY bit more progress... I actually have more done than this, but no pics yet. Coming up ASAP. I stayed up til 3 last night trying to get some work done and not getting much done. My "10-minute" details end up as hour-long ordeals. Of course it doesn't help when parts break incessantly, superglue tube is clogged and nearly empty, I misplace tools, little parts fall to the carpet, tweezers break, I'm staying awake on coffee but that makes my hand shake and Dremel accidents occur And helping my parents build a new pation during every single minute of daylight; then I get called in to work at 8:30 (three hours early) three days in a row. I'm starting to get worried about finishing this before college. My life is busy. But again, I will try!! Here are my two measly pictures.

I got the steering gearbox mounted and painted.

I built the Pitman and idler arms for the tie rod and installed and painted them. Tie rod ends are also made and will be painted once on the car.

More pictures tomorrow I hope. Thanks for looking; again, comments are welcome.

Alex
