This is the story of our 1967 Firebird convertible. The car was orignally a Signet Gold OHC 6, Powerglide, power black top, and black interior car. By the time we purchased it in 2003 it had evolved into a early 70's Chevy 250 truck six power with a rebuilt BOP Turbo 350 and more than one repaint (oh boy). The car still had the manual drum brakes, it was dreadfully slow, and it was that ugly-ass Gold color to boot.
Since it is my wife's car, she named the car Hotpants due to the flames on the bottom of the spoiler. Long story short the dude who painted it puts flames on everything, and I told him if he flamed the car I'd have his ass since that didn't fit the theme I had in mind. Well, he snuck in some flames - he replicated the top stripes around the spoiler, did two little flames on the bottom of the spoiler and we like it!
