[1970_F_Body]

Hey guys. Like the title says I'm new here. Just bought this 1970 Firebird a couple days ago. Looking to update it a bit starting with the wheels and tires. Then get it a little lower to the ground. Lots of nice cars here...

Can always paint the centers :) Thanks btw

[class67]

I think Young Gun is more excited about it than you are...lol.
Anyway, welcome to the site and that is a nice foundation for sure!!!

[Grngoat]

Damn that's nice.
Verdoro Green?
Looks real good on that F-bird. I always liked those hoods better than the shaker on the T/As.

[1970_F_Body]

Thanks..Yeah it's Verdoro Green. Stock color for this car. Has a 400 under the hood.

[NOT A TA]

Great car! There's more and more 2nd gens showing up here.

Great lookin car--I really dig the black center on the wheels. Makes the car look almost like some sort of crazy army surplus hotrod. Very cool.

Glad to have you aboard, friend!

[Grngoat]

Cool. My 70 Goat is originally Verdoro as well. It'll still be green, but a different shade. I've got to get around to writing my intro one of these days to explain. Just been lurking so far.

Once again, sweet ride.

[1970_F_Body]

Did the best I could do with microsoft paint...lol

Love the color. Dark silver or black wheels would look great with it.

[motorheadmike]

Somebody want to photoshop on those Bandit wheels from Year One? Doesn't Wheel Vintiques make repros in +sizes of the factory Pontiac steel mags?
Googling...

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Nevermind... they only go up to 16x8.

[Fawkes]

Welcome! Love the car.

[muthstryker]

lmao, think young gun got a wood when he saw the car he put them photoshops out so fast.. :lol:

welcome to the site, love the car. Another car i would love to own

[68Formula]

:ssst: Ha, ha, when Young Gun grows up he wants a Pontiac.

Just funnin Young!

Welcome to the site 1970_F_Body. Looks like a good start, and that Photoshop job looks sweet. Always nice to see more birds. Good luck.

[GHOSTDANCER]

Very nice Firebird. I'am with Young Gun, the black centers look killer.

[Daveman2]

These are the wheels I think I have decided on in 17x8 amd 17x9.5

Nice ride, but don't you think those wheels are kinda skinny for a car that big/heavy? an 8" wide rim only fits a 245 or so
