Maybe modify the drivers side fender so that it matches the passengers side as the fender is from a 73 on up style.

71 was the only year firebirds had the vent in the lower part of the fender

Sixx you are correct lol. Looks like someone patched in the vent sometime back in the day. I missed the wider flange on the fender.

The way you are able to tell is when you are looking at the engine compartment. Look at each fender where they meet the top inner fenders, you can see that the drivers side fender has two holes and the opposite side fender doesn't. The two holes are for the fender braces from 73 on up.

Nice clean car, love the choice of wheels! ......looks like the car is coming along nicely. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks for the compliments

And the parts keep piling up. Entropy radiator, Auto Meter guages, and Year One dash

Patriot68, that's really nice, going to be a excellent ride! Looking forward to your progress...

If you don't mind i have a few questions.

*what is the width of the 9" housing "flange" to "flange" without axles mounted.

*is it a speedtech dutchman housing? floater or standard?

* what is your rear wheel offset?

I am working with Jay W. on a similar setup, but a totally different application. I've been measuring but getting a little baffled on the offset's. I realize they're all different but the information may help if you have time.

Thanks!

I ordered everything from Jay aswell
19x12, 8" backspace
Standard 9 inch Speedtech/Dutchman housing
Not sure on the flange to flange. ill need to measure. It might be a little while before i get back to you on that. The car is not at my shop right now. Ill message you when i get it. Jay might have the measurement. Tell him it was for Scott at Patriot Automotive in San Antonio.

Thanks Scott, I just spoke to Jay, i have what i need...

He's working with me on a 68 Torino.

I just got my rendering from Ben at streetrod designs. Hes a great guy to work with as many of you already know

Killer blue color!!

Seriously, that's awesome!

fenders
 

do you plan on getting aftermarket front trans am fenders or transforming the originals to what you want.

Aftermarket if they can get them to me unharmed I'm waiting on the third set from classic industries. You would think they would be packaged better.
