1968 Pontiac Firebird Pro-Touring RestoMod Build

The owner of this 1968 Pontiac Firebird had been collecting for the project over the years, and with this stash of parts, decided to start the build. As with any proper restomod or restoration project, he got started with disassembly, stripped the Firebird down to a bare shell, and had the body sandblasted.

What the sandblasting uncovered was a level of body repair simply beyond his capabilities…

Several months later, the Firebird arrived at MetalWorks in Eugene, OR for a full transformation. The Firebird was designed and built to retain its classic looks, but with modern performance capabilities (build specs below)…
