And the airwaves in general. I really don't miss not having a tv. If this is the kind of crap I'd have to be watching, I'd rather do anything else.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 68l30</div><div class="ubbcode-body">IMHO...I think the cars were bought for all the money. The reality stopped right there. I believe the rest is all TV hocus pocus. It's entertainment for most everyone out there and a bit insulting to the other 2% out there that really get it. Good bad or otherwise, looks like they can restored again if someone needs a pristine #1 &amp; #2.

The bigger issue is.....Wonder what hit the dumpster and how many prototype or differnet processess were used when building #1 &amp; #2? Somethings must have been hand fabbed and such.I'd love to see some detail pics of the floors, cowl, interior..ect. I just hope nothing cool is lost. I've seen some cool 68 stuff that would most certainly be overlooked by others.

Looking forward to next weeks show.....it will be entertaining. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Did anyone notice the coil spring rear end I think the the convertible had that Richards nephew was working on?

I've noticed A-Body upper trailing mounts in so many early 'Birds that I think Pontiac just used that cast center section in everything.

Did anyone notice on the coupe the front subframe was the mid 68 to 69 with the access holes on the inside and
3 holes above. I also saw the part where they were hounding the guy installing the tire on the rear end for one of the firebirds. It look to have the 2 big round eyes on top of the center carrier.
