1968 Pontiac Firebird 350 H.O.

This previously restored 1968 Firebird H.O. came in for some upgrades and repairs. After being dropped off with no brakes, no transmission function, and very poor idle quality, we immediately knew that the previous restoration shop had made some severe shortcuts. After going over the car and adding to the worklist, we were able to bring this car back to reliable driver status that turns heads at the car shows.
