69 Firebird Build

[69TAPoser]

They are dirty and my black lug nuts are on order...but the rears are on!







I nailed the back spacing, but the aftermarkt quarters have a little more lip than original, so I may need to trim a 1/4" off each lip.

I always get my "odd" fittings from:

http://www.godmanhiperformance.com/

They are called line clamps (I drilled and tapped my frame for them) and they have a good selection of sizes, just search on "line clamps" on their site.

The rear seats are back from the upholsterer. They were covered with the rear seat kit material from ProCar that will match the ProCar Rally 1000 front seats. I had the upholsterer cover them because they are for a Camaro and the Firebird rear seat is several inches narrower, so they had to be restitched on the ends:

Looks good Phil I like the looks of those procar seats they look like thye hold you in place very well. Phil is that the smoked glass from Frank if so how do you like it I have a set for my car. Are those tires Mihcelin Pilots ?

Hi Wayne-

Yes, I forgot to point out the glass. It is smoked and it is from Frank. I was concerned about what it would look like without having seen it before. But after installing it, I am VERY happy with it. Not too dark and not too light. I think it will really set the car off nicely. Everyone that see's the car comments on how nice the smoked glass looks. I have a friend that is just finishing a '67 Bird 'vert and he now wants to add the smoked glass to his car!

Tires are Goodyear F1s.

Did you catch the billet qtr window cranks? ;-)

That's interesting, I wasn't even aware that there was a diff. between 'vert and coupe glass. What is the diff?
