firebird part availability

[DrewskiSS]

i know that parts are extremely available for Camaros. is that the case with firebirds(first gens and early second gens)? is it a pain to find firebird parts?

[dhutton]

There are lots of parts available for first gen Firebirds. I can't think of too many that can't be found. Sometimes they cost a little more but not much.

and second gen?

[Warpath Pontiac]

I think most parts suppliers cover second gens pretty well too. Although I have not built a second gen yet (planning to some day).

You need to contact chad@fletcherscustoms or Ty they can tell you how and where to get the goods for second gen bird. several sponsors on here supply parts for those..

As far as second gens heres what I found with Ty's car

Good stuff
Trim
interior
suspension (camaro is same)
chrome
engine
trans
etc

Bad
Body panels, no body makes quarters, fenders or tail panels. So if the car is rotted good luck

X2 on the body parts for second gen birds. Some trim and int pieces are not repoped, nor taillights for most years.

[DrewskiSS]

ya not lookin too good for body panels. quarter panels for 2nd gen birds seem impossible to come across..

what im doing is weighing out my options on what car to buy. this kinda narrowed it down unfortunately. here are some options of mine tell me what you guys think.
-1st gen camaro
-kinda undecided about 2nd gen camaro
-corvette (67-73)
- Chevelle

ps- im open to anyother suggestions.

I would have to vote for the '70 to '73 Camaro.

I am a little biased though......

a fastback mustang as well. i dont know how i feel about those though lol
