Mirrors
 

Randy .... not feeling those Miata mirrors! Somewhere in this forum 71-72 GTO mirrors used on first gen Camaro's looked kick a**, I did write down the store .... Ames performance.

Hope that helps! Good luck with your list :thumbsup:

one thing i noticed is if its dark in my garage and a shine a light under the tulip panel some light comes thru. Should there be any light coming thru that area to where you can see inside the cabin kick panel area?

WOW :waveflag: med check! Randy, I thought we were talking about the mirrors?

What the halibut are you talking about?

well the answer is YES. lol. The tulip panel is the lower side panel on the firewall. When doing a vintage air kit they give you a block off plate. Well that block off plate covers the round hole on the tulip panel. Water is suppose to run inside the tulip panel and come out where the fender and rocker panel meet.

OK ..... the block off plate is for the blower motor correct? The bottom of the outer cowl is supposed to let water and debris run out of the upper cowl and off the side cowls and out the bottom of the car just in front of the rocker. However the front fender usually collects most of the waste and that's why it rusts out.

You need to lay some serious 3M seam sealer inside that side cowl panel, and when you put in your kick panels use the same plumbers putty that the factory used or equivalent to seal the moisture from the carpet and underlayment.

yup my thought exactly. Either way the car wont see rain but i just wanted to make sure. Thank you.

stole your pic but the light comes from the very bottom of the tulip panel.

I need to find seats now !!!! :computer:

So i went to install my windlace end caps. How does the metal flat tab install go? Is there suppose to be a hose to where i screw the cap in?

figured it out. The tab just goes behind the ujamb molding. Now my quarter window molding is also there. Im thinking about running a screw into the quarter molding felt that also goes into the windlace end cap to keep it more secure.

I also installed the backseat divider with pading. there was some discussion if the pad side or the board side faces the trunk. Well im using the board size facing the trunk so my pading touches my backseat metal frame. Im then going to dynaline the board side with 1/8 dynaliner since it looks sexy :)

Randy,

Awesome build! :cheers: Love the color!

Question:

I see early in the thread you said you had your tires: BFG 335/30-18's. But I now see your car is sporting some Michelin tires. Is there a reason you changed?

I have a 67 Firebird I am doing right now... and am in the tire/wheel dilemma of choosing.
Thinking:
18x9 front 18x12 back
or
18x9 front 19x11.5 back

I kind of wanted to run 19's in the back for a bit more ground clearance. (Not such good roads and driveways here in SD) Do you feel you have an OK amount of ground clearance with what you choose? Any rubbing issues?

Thanks,

ground clearance will be plenty fine. 275/35 and 315/30 aspect ratio was spot on. Also the 335 might touch if i really slam the car down. I wanted alittle extra clearance. The 335 bfg run bigger than most 335 tires and they are getting harder to find. Get the 11.5 wheel so you can put either 335 or 315s on. Im very very happy with a 11" wheel and 315s. The tire specs are a perfect match
