I have never posted before here, although I have been a member for over a year, and figured I might introduce my story to those of you with a little time to spare.

I got a job on my 16th birthday working as a waiter, and saved up every penny for a car, driving a '95 escort to and from. Finally a year and a half later, found this on craigslist and had to have it: a 1990 Iroc-Z with a 350.

I kinda like how the cars without it look like the formula or gta. If i wanted to change can i just take it off or is there something else i need to get to make it work. I'm new to fbodys and GM products. I've been in a Mopar family and have little input from my typical go-to people for my T/A. any help would be big. thanks

but anyways. I love my car to death despite the few problems.
how would I go about fixing them? and its a 92 camaro rs 25th anniversary :D

Such as.. the 3rd brake light does not go on, I have changed the bulb but it still did not work, and as I changed the bulb, the previous one was warm, but it wasn't going on so i'm assuming the wiring is bad somewhere, how would I go about this?

secondly.. the driver side window is dead, doesn't go down or up, any advice on what to do? if I could do it home or do I need to take it somewhere?

and third. just last night, as I was going to start my car, as I turned the key it went 'click", i turned the key again 'click', and the third time it started. could it be the spark plugs? or the starter?
i'm gonna do the spark plugs on friday, so is there anyway to check the starter myself? ]]> Body FFDP http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/body/549954-few-slight-problems.html i need pictures of an 87 with a hood bird http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/body/549908-i-need-pictures-87-a.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:56:42 GMT Remember the gold hood birds on the 79 T/As. i'm thinking about putting one of the big gold ones on the hood of my 87. i'm repaiting the entire car black so I thought the gold bird would look good and it would match the gold emblems i have on my car already. Does anyone have any pictures of an 87 that has the full hood bird on it? I just wanted to use it as a reference and to see if it looked good before i went and bought the decal.
Thanks.


I want this type of bird

I'm thinking of leaving most of the body the original green color, but I'm thinking of paint the ground effects and [maybe] the rear spoiler gold like the Trans Am decals already there, and the decals on the ground effects would be green.

And does anybody have a 91-92 firebird with a two-tone paint job? Post up some pictures! Doesn't matter what color, I just want a better idea of what a two-tone deal would look like.

Yeah, you can tell that my car needs paint... badly...


The parts I'd paint gold are circled in yellow. I'm thinking of leaving the ground effects right behind the nose the same color since there aren't any lines that might make it "flow"... at least as far as I could think of.

Oh and what do you guys think? I'm not sure myself if that's what I want yet so I just want some more opinions. I told a couple friends at school about this and one said I should go for it and the other one said otherwise. And don't be afraid to give me your opinion, this is by no means finalized and I won't be offended by whatever you say. :)

On top of that... I love the screaming chickens on the hood so I'm definitely getting one in gold. :D

And how much do you think a paint job like that might cost at a decent shop? I'd remove most of the trim pieces/gfx before turning it in to save cash and just have them seal/prime/paint it. ]]> Body musclecar70sfan http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/body/549762-thinking-2-tone-paint.html Broken Nose http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/body/549696-broken-nose.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:40:15 GMT Hey Guys I am trying to repaint my car this winter and was wondering if it is possible to repair a cracked front bumper?

I am trying to repaint my car this winter and was wondering if it is possible to repair a cracked front bumper? It has spider web cracks across the front and small cracks in the corner from the previous owner.
