It won't be an easy rod, but idk if you guys will like what I'm actually doing any better lol

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

Something like that lol.

 

[jco1385]

Would this also apply to a 93 sc?

I'll try to remember to get the 1993 set up when I get back home.

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

So the vinyl idea didn't work out. The gelcoat started eating it and would have made a horrible face on the mold.

They need some bondo but they'll do

I really hate when bodyshops don’t remove moldings for a repaint, especially with a full blown color change

What's even funnier is they only painted one sides door jam

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

Do you have a name for the car? If not, Phoenix would be legit.

I applaude your effort. Truly a labor of love. I think all of us have some or we wouldn't be here sharing. Keep it up.

It's more that it still owes me for the money I've put into it lol

Imagine if there were some bold graphic that could commemorate it

Seeing that reminds me of when my dad refused to spend the money on a replacement decal when he set his hood on fire accidentally ~25 years ago. So he made stencils on tracing paper and painted it the hard way.

Itd make correcting people even more difficult lmao. "Nice firebird!" Is not an uncommon thing to hear about my car lol

 

[Generalee0527]

All that is missing is the flames out the tail pipes.

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

Getting somewhere.

So that's where the moon roof drain goes...

 

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

So that's where the moon roof drain goes...

This?



So does that make moonroof equipped cars more prone to rust in that area?

No. It’s a shitty design, make no mistake but it’s a coincidence as non moonroof cars all get the same rocker rot. Most of the water comes in through the openings in the inner rockers and the poor drainage out and the foam inside the rockers acting as both a barrier and a sponge to hold water localizes it. Moonroofs leakage adds a fractional percentage of extra moisture into the rockers, I think it’s just a cope non-moonroof owners use even though their cars are as rotten as ours

Reskinning like that is what Lazarus needs.

Yeah, back in the 80s those Trans Am Decals were ALOT of money. If I recall right it was like $800-1000 back then. I recall many repainted Trans Ams with no Phoenix on the hood.

You made a lightbulb go off in my head why the Trans Am in Short circuit had such a weird looking screaming chicken.

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

Damn I haven't posted here in a while.


I ended up pulling the second booster apart and reclocked it myself. Wasn't waiting another week for another potentially trash part.

Pop these tabs and you can clock it yourself. Only thing you have to worry about is the spring.
Also trying out the color I've always wanted to paint it.

 

[Wile E. Coyote]

Could someone post a photo of how the front bumper on an 89-93 is supposed to go on? I have mine pushing into the channel on the header panel and idk if that's right.
