This is my 67 Firebird sprint 3.8 L overhead cam six car I owned back around 1981. shortly after these pics were tacken I took the front fenders off to get some body work done. I leaned them up against the neighbors shed. That night his shed burnt and fenders were toast.
Brother in laws Ventura in background.
Pic above with new vynal roof. I bought new fenders from GM and was also building a 396. Yes a chevy in a pontiac. All my parts were in my parents garage out in Oakbank with the rest of all my tools and extra parts. My Stepfather started a grass fire and burned down the barn my 66 pontiac and the garage with all my parts and yes new fenders. The body was still here and not there so survived. I took it out to Oakbank and left it at my parents farm for about 10 years. Then in the 90's I desided to bring it to my house and start again. My freind and I with tow rope went to get it and it was gone. Some one the day before had taken it. Never found it.
Wow ! what a storey ! there was a 69 Mustang Fastback down this way got its fenders and doors stolen back in the 1980's can you imagine the effort and then the look on the owner's face !
Ok Chevy 396 in a Pontiac-Great Idea ! thats like ??? Canadian Pontiac !
Thats why nobody walks on my property. There is a miss treated firebird just like yours 2 min from my place. I also know of a american big block 4spd 12 bolt in just over the border.????????? You might be interested?????

I think I'm dun with Firebirds . Before that car I had a 68 convertable. I have my Beaumont now and it keeps me happy.

I think you made a good choice by going with a Beaumont. Pictures would be good and a happy story would help too. That last one bummed me out.
I have already showed pics of frame in progress, but here is the body with frame stored under it for winter.
This is not the correct shade of paint, Notice the yellow bumper on saw horse, thats for wife when parking, she always opens the door on that and bangs up here car. Grand kids wrote Fix me on window ,Har, Har.
A little cancer to deal with on quarters
This already posted. This summer hope to finish rear end and plumb brake lines ,fuel lines,back brakes, and who knows maybe a motor, got my buddy looking for a good 350 block, I have a 400 small block but my son wants it for his 67 camaro we are restoring. Was thinking about my 400 pontiac block I have, but I think I want to keep it all Canadian. You can just see the 400 Pontiac motor mounts on the frame I already had the Pontiac mounted, fits OK, but don't no, just not Canadian.

I like the red neck roto job on the saw horses! The car looks clean.
The body has been on those saw horses for about seven years . Everthing is bolted together not nailed. Before I had them my boy had a 80's blazer on them. I had to turn one of the legs around so I could get the frame underneath. Car is full of parts including trunk. Wife has hit it a few times. still standing.
Looking good Fred, She's a twin to mine, Thats the colour mine should be or close to it, former owner painted with what ever he had in his garage and is a darker shade. What you got for engine 307 or 350 ?
its a high output 307,lol.its been in the family since 87,i bought it of my aunt,she bought it with 38000 miles on her for 3 thousand off the original lot that sold it,it was traded in by the original owner who ,unfortunatly she didnt know how to take care of her.it was originally purchased in cobourg but was taken to sault sainte marie and then traded back to the original dealer here in cobourg,the owner was the dealers sister.
when i first bought my cougar,it was because it reminded me of the beaumont,in colour of course. actually my house matches the beaumont as well?its green too!

Nothing wrong with a 307, Its a stroked 283 with a 327 crank. I'd rather have a 307 than the newer 305 block anyday.
That's a nice garage you got there Fred and if you decide to change that cam in the 307 you might want to think about taking that to barrel carb and intake and throw it in the lake! LOL
