69 T/A wing for 67/8s ??
Anyone have a lead on a good wing for 67/8s ??? The one from the parts place is a three piece fiberglass item. Anyone know anything about the quality ??? I purchased an ABS one many years ago that was very rough on the surface and sagged some. I'd like to find a solid version that doesn't sag.
Or, a good three piece 2nd gen wrap around that fits a 1st gen.

The Part's Place one is not too bad. I did carefully add some expanding foam inside the wing to try to help keep it from sagging. It seemed to work. Trick is to not use too much or it will bulge when the foam expands.

Hi Mark, off topic, but have a link on the pulleys you used on your engine?

The setup was from Rodney Red radiators. Not sure if they still make these. Was a nice simple inexpensive setup.

Hi,
I'm planning on getting a 69 wing for my 68. What did you end up doing? A few choices at present, Glass from Ames and The Parts Place and ABS from Performance years and Firebird Central.
Cheers.
