these are the only decent ones I can find right now. She's an original 400 4spd, and she'll probably stay that way. I plan on keeping the interior 100% stock, and under hood will appear stock but the motor will get "warmed up", no sense in a bad a@@ suspension and brakes with no go:6gears:

Nice...........welcome aboard.

[Z06killinSBF]

Nice, my fav 'Bird body style. I love it.

[Bandit]

Rub it in why don't you...your TA is CLEAN! After about $10g's my body and interior will look like that hopefully...

[JoshStratton]

Interesting. My 79 was a 400 4 speed and I had the same hood decal, but your decal set is different than mine. I had the little birds next to the door glass.

[7_ws6ta_9]

mine is should but they were removed prior to me owning it, they will make it back on eventually

[WhiteG240]

WOW. That's a real nice car. This should be a fun project to watch.

[79PonchoUK]

Hi, Welcome to the site.

I have a 79 400 4spd w.WS6 too. Not quite as tidy as your car though. lol

Im also going for a stock appearing engine with alot more power. Do you have MSN messenger address?

[7_ws6ta_9]

UK, no the best way to reach me is pm me here I check it frequently.

[Diognes56]

Nice :D . Welcome.

David

[Firckn]

That car is sweet welcome

[BonzoHansen]

Nice. I like those door panels. I wonder if Camaro guys woudl get pissy if I bought them for the 77 Z? :)

Hey, jump on the GP Superstore & Hotchkis rebate. You got like 2 weeks left to save big!


Now this is my kind of guy! Another person that doesnt care for keeping low mile and/or rare cars original...although this
board is full of them, not so much with 2nd gen's.And with all teh planned bolts ons, he could put her back together if he wanted.

[lawbreaker2]

Nice T/a, seem to be alot of them pop'n up around here, I have a few, A 70,76,80.:twothumbs

[critter]

I like the black GTA wheels. I considered putting some on my car. Did you use a full set or only the back wheels for the offset?

[7_ws6ta_9]

I used the full set, needed a 1" spacer for the rear. would have liked to have 4 fronts but couldn't pass on the deal

[critter]

Cool. So it's the fronts that don't need the spacer. I always get that wrong.

[bnickel]

personally i really like the GTA wheels. i'm kinda partial though because i have a similar set of Rikens on my 69 Mustang GT. if i ever build a GM car i'd like to put a set of GTA wheels on it.

[7_ws6ta_9]

the other nice thing is that the are fairly light weight, I haven't weighed them but compared to other gm 16's they are def. lighter

[bnickel]

the other nice thing is that the are fairly light weight, I haven't weighed them but compared to other gm 16's they are def. lighter

yeah they are pretty light weight. my 15" Rikens are pretty light as well.

[Skip Fix]

I ran the "backs" on the back of mine with a 255-50-16 BFG-R autocross tire and no problems with rubbing on my 78. Any wider needs a more zero offset like the "fronts". Ran "fronts" on the front.So much lighter than the cast IROC Z 16" wheels.

[bnickel]

yeah they are pretty light weight. my 15" Rikens are pretty light as well.

BTW, i'm pretty sure Riken was the original manufacturer of the GTA wheels as well.

[formulafr]

welcome!


nice ride:twothumbs

[7_ws6ta_9]

can't run the backs on the back of a rear disk car, they hit the e-brake
