  • In this video I show you the process of a full restoration of a 1969 Pontiac firebird over a period of 3 years in 10 short minutes. This car, as you can see was in bad shape. We had a whole pallet of ‪@autometaldirect‬ parts to build this car from top to bottom. I only use AMD for all my sheet metal. This is the third full restoration that I've done using AMD. This build was not sponsored by ‪@autometaldirect‬ , but the quality of these parts are awesome!!!!! We rebuilt the 350 Pontiac engine, turbo 350 transmission and rear end. This is a total new car from top to bottom! If you like this kind of content make sure you like, subscribe and click the notification bell so you can keep up with my builds.

    Good choice on sheet metal, it’s hard to beat AMD. The Palladium silver really pops. Nice job!

    My dad recently passed and his old 69 bird had been in the barn for 20 years. I’ve been thinking about restoring it! Awesome video!

    Man, that thing is about as beautiful underneath as it is up top!!
    I rode in a '69 Bird in about 1978 as a kid. It was burnt orange with a black vinyl top and a tan/brownish buckets/console interior, 350 and automatic, Ralley II wheels and no hood scoops. It didn't say H.O. on the sides, but it scooted pretty good. Only changes I'd make would be a set of black "PMD" center caps, and a set of the 'root beer mug' lug nuts. That silver is awesome! Love them batwing Chevys too!
