Ground effects

lookin for some ground effects (all around) for an 85 Firebird I'm buyin in a couple weeks. Painted or not, doesn't really matter, but unpainted would be best..

Also some T-Tops. I'm taking the car over to the Street Rod class and they're going to cut out and install the T-Tops for me for free I just need the T-Tops and weatherstripping (I think that's all I need right?)

well, if you want my advice regarding the t-tops, here it is.

If you must put t-tops in a non t-top car, the easiest way is to remove a roof from a t-top car and put that on your hard top car.

My dad has done plenty of those and actually thinks it is not that bad.

just my .02

yeah but that would require finding a t-top car, buying it, .. no. Free work, and it's good, the instructors supervise it, it'll be alright

Just giving you advise based on my experience.

you will need the tops, seals, the t bar, and the top of that bar thing.

Other than that, take lots of pics, i am curious how they will make all the channels right.

Don't ruin a Hard Top car by putting T-Tops on it. There are way too many T-top cars already!
