As promised here's an update on the Firebird.

Rebreu Body & Frame in North Austin has it and Rick Contreras with Texas National Guard has been helping get all the parts.  The car will be overhauled with a new hood, bumper and lights.  The front of it got pretty messed up after an accident.  Rick got the parts for the Firebird through the Austin F Body club.  Rebreu is helping fix it up.

Here's a little history on the story... the Firebird is a surprise for Lance Corporal John Mittelstedt. He's a Marine and was hurt in Iraq. He's back at home now in Round Rock.  His mom wanted to do something for him... so she posted an ad on Craigslist. She offered to clean anyone's house if they would fix the car.

We hope to be there when John sees the car for the first time. I'll let you guys know when that will happen.
