thanks, you could tell i have spacers on the front and not the back? i just ordered a set of 3 inch for the rear.

 

yea im keeping the wheels for now, i paid 2,800 for the paint, alot more than i paid for the car lol

 

thanks MAKS, the paint was 2,800,

 

Some updates with new leather seats off of ebay and replaced the rear control arms and panhard bar which was all bent up...what a big difference!!! Learning something new every day...next up torque arm and tranny mount

Sorry about the oversized pics.

 

^^^

 

NICE Massaku

 

thanks for the compliments! I just wish I could fix that damn drivers side headlight.

 

Whats wrong with it is something bent?


The passenger fog light is crooked also

 

I have no idea whats wrong with it I am thinking about just replacing the bucket and seeing if it will fix it. The fog lights are getting replaced next weekend lol.

 

You cant adjust it with the brackets that hold the headlight assembly to the radiator support?

 

I have made numerous threads about it but no one has answered my question about how to do it lol. now that the car is painted I am afraid of scratching the paint.

 

Looking at my old firebird book it does not seem like you can get much adjustment out of the brackets for the healight assembly.They are not slotted for adjustment only one is and thats the side one.It does look like if the headlight motor arm was bent then it would make it look like yours.This is the arm that connects the headlight motor to the headlight to raise and lower it.

 

Well I am not doing anything right now so I will go out and take some pics and see.

 

You may need to take the black trim cover off for a good look at the arm.

Also using painters tape or masking tap the first piece that would contact the paint touch it to your pants or fabric.Do this so it is not as sticky then put on the paint so you dont damage it.Put it all along the edge of the metal parts that may come close to contact.

 

the plastic cover has been off for a long time so that is not an issue lol.
The arm does not look bent so I dont think its that... but I think I have a way of re adjusting it so thanks for the help bro!

 

Hope you get it, its been 8yrs since Ive had a 3rd gen so Im trying to remember everything.I used to know every nut and bolt size for them what parts went where and so on.

again sick car you got

 

Here are some pics of mine. I am just starting to fit my new 18" hre wheels with 335/30s out back. They almost fit without any sheetmetal cut, this is going to be sweet.

Heres my contribution....this was before I tore it down to a shell for my frame up resto. Was a cammed 305 TPI with tons of suspension goodies, vette front brakes, and 18" rims.

 

TA in action, lots of body roll and very tail happy. Eventually i will get it right.

 

 

Awesome car! diggin the pinstripe

 

I took a couple of shots of mine this weekend after I finished the T56 swap/engine build and got 'er all cleaned up and put back together.

The pictures were taken out at the Naval Station across the river from the Naval Academy. That's the academy across the river, and our Yard Patrol fleet and sailing vessels can be seen in a couple of the shots.

Hope you enjoy,
