Default '69 Firebird ideas
I think I've decided to build another '69 when I get home from Iraq later this year. I want to do the same thing again basically, T/A clone, LSX/6spd, black 4th Gen T/A interior. Any other suggestions? I had 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 silver Z06 wheels and 17x9.5 G2 World Challenge Wheels on my last one but didn't really care for the wheel spacers I had to use to run them. I never got the body work and interior finished before I had to sell it. Any suggestions on what to change/add for the next project?

4th gen firebird seats (front and rear). Tilt stearing column. What about paddle shifter on a 6L80 instead of T56.

I was going to ask for pics too. I was thinking of going with a set of ZO6 wheels on my 68 but wasn't sure how they'd flow.
